The TaylorMade Spider Mini is coming to retail
After its Tour debut last month, the TaylorMade Spider Mini is now available for the rest of our golf bags.
In terms of size, visibly more compact, the Spider Mini it 15 percent smaller than the Spider Tour. Accordingly, center of gravity is moved from 37mm from the face of the putter to 30mm from the face of the 355 gram putter.
The Spider Mini features the aluminum Pure Roll insert, with its 45-degree-angled grooves designed for enhanced feel and truer roll.
The adjustable sole weight (sold separately) is available in 2.5-, 5-, 7.5-, 10-, 15- and 20-gram options.
“Spider Mini gives golfers a brand-new look and feel while still remaining very much a part of the Spider Tour family. It has the same Pure Roll insert and presents many of the same features that make Spider such a successful putter, but it is delivered in a scaled-down shape for those seeking a smaller footprint without sacrificing stable, high-MOI performance.” — Chris Trott, TaylorMade Tour Manager
Available in lengths of 33, 34 and 35 inches, the Spider Mini retails for $299 and is offered in both Tour Red and Diamond Silver. A SuperStroke Pistol GTR 1.0 grip is standard.
The Spider Tour is TM’s most popular flatstick. As reported by Golf Digest, Golf Datatech. Two-thirds of TaylorMade’s putter sales are for the the Spider. TaylorMade is the No. 3 best-selling putter brand.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
