A New Identity And Performance
Taylormade Spider GT Putters

Once upon a time, TaylorMade struggled to gain a foothold with putter market share, then along came an Itsy Bitsy Spider and TaylorMade found its pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Jason Day and Dustin Johnson's winning ways with Spider putters saw pros ditching the precision of blade putters for the alignment, forgiveness, stability and roll consistency of unconventionally shaped Spider mallets. TaylorMade helped convince golfers to make the switch with the clever inclusion of hosel options that married the feel and release of a toe hang putter with the forgiveness of a mallet.

The high-MOI Spider mallet was always about fully optimising weight distribution and not about the looks, hence the use of multi-materials that include lightweight aluminium, steel and liberal use of heavy tungsten for extreme stability.

And for 2022, TaylorMade set out to do the same yet again, reimagining the iconic wireframed shape of the Spider putter carrying the familiar moniker but not the look. The four models set a new standard of performance and contemporary construction, headlined by a Spider GT with its modern wing design and ultralightweight top plate, followed by the more familiar shaped half-mallet Spider GT Notchback, the half-moon shaped Spider GT Rollback, and the parallel-winged Spider GT Splitback.

Across the Spider GT range, the face features a Pure Roll2 insert for improved forward roll and ball speed consistency across the face. The insert's slightly firmer black TPU urethane compensates for the feel of softer modern balls. Eight aluminium beams embedded at a 45° angle improve topspin across the face. The beams flex freely at impact to launch the ball to off the face with less backspin, and develop an efficient forward roll more quickly.
