TaylorMade launches new Spider Zero Torque putter
TaylorMade has today introduced the new Spider Zero Torque putter, designed to give golfers of all abilities increased stability and consistency on the greens through its high-MOI design that utilizes multi-material construction, onset hosel configuration, extreme perimeter weighting, and precise CG placement.

The Spider ZT putters utilize 100-percent milled multi-material construction featuring high-density 303 stainless steel in the face and low-density 6061 aluminum in the back. Extreme perimeter weighting is also designed to enhance the putters’ high-MOI and enhanced stability dynamics. Three strategically placed TSS weights allowed TaylorMade engineers to triangulate CG properties in a bid to maintain a toe-up position.

When designing Spider ZT, TaylorMade engineers positioned the CG 25mm behind the face. This allowed them to bore the shaft directly in line with the CG with 1-degree of onset. This orientation not only is designed to reduce the amount of face twisting that occurs during the stroke, it also presets the shaft in a forward-leaning position at address and eliminates the propensity for golfers to add loft at impact. The result is designed to offer a consistent end-over-end roll that enhances distance control and allows putts to stay online.

The new putter has a heel-to-toe cambered sole to accommodate a wide array of player types and setup styles, and is designed to work specifically with the hosel configuration. As a result, golfers are better able to sole and aim the putter at address and deliver it to that same square position at impact.

TaylorMade’s True Path Alignment announces itself in a new way with Spider ZT. Instead of appearing as a solid white streak on the top of the putter with a black sightline, Spider ZT features thinly milled lines on the top of the 303 stainless steel face that are evenly spaced, with the total lined area adding up to the exact width of a golf ball. This design aims to allow golfers to precisely center the ball in the middle of the face at address to reduce misses on the heel and toe.

Like previous generations of Spider putters, Spider ZT utilizes TaylorMade’s Pure Roll insert. Made from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum, the insert features grooves that are angled at 45 degrees to promote forward roll, while also enhancing sound and feel.

Available in standard, counterbalance, and long lengths, Spider ZT putters will be available for preorder today at the company’s website and at retail locations starting June 5.

Equipment
Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
