TAYLORMADE SPIDER X
A decade after introducing the putter that shifted the paradigm of putter creation toward high-MOI design mallets TaylorMade came up with 10th generation of its Spider putters with the introduction of Spider X, which utilizes a new dedicated weighting system and optically engineered sightline (OES) featuring TaylorMade’s new True Path alignment system.
The genesis of the Spider X philosophy lies in research derived from more than ten thousand putts from a distance of twelve feet, with results illustrating that golfers strike the ball toward the toe of the putter 66 percent of the time —the result of a parallax effect. As a result, engineers strove to re-engineer the mass properties of the putter head while simultaneously introducing a new alignment system — True Path — for easier alignment enhanced focus, leading to more putts struck on the center of the face and thus eliminating the parallax effect.
The Spider X features an optically engineered vision system designed for improved path, clearer vision and enhanced visual perception through color sensitivity. It also has a more streamlined design than both the Spider Tour and Spider Mini putters that came before it. The more stable head shape provides more weight on the outside of the frame with a deeper center of gravity, which is three times deeper than a traditional blade putter.
For the first time in 10 years, the new frame of the Spider X incorporates a modern, seamless and dedicated weight design featuring three new weights: aluminum (2 grams), steel (6 grams) and tungsten (12 grams). Engineers reduced the size of the Spider X by 5 percent but were able to maintain the same MOI as Spider Tour.
Spider X putters incorporate a new, thicker 5mm Pure Roll white surlyn insert for improved sound, feel and roll characteristics. The 12-groove Pure Roll insert promotes forward spin for smoother roll, greater accuracy and better distance control.
