That thing looks pretty cool!I would probably buy either this or a Manta to compete with my Craz-e if they would make one of these with a simple milled face.

I believe these are 'itsy bitsy' size, but not exact.  They won't be called the 'itsy bitsy' however.

Hipcheck,

I don't know how we miss each other on the range at firestone.  I was there today for a good portion of the day.  This is two years in a row!

Nice looking putter. Been thinking about an all white spider for some time. If this comes to retail I'll definitely be checking it out.

Thanks for the scoop on this one and the pics. This one looks right up my alley,  I cant wait to see one in person. Hope they go retail soon.

The First set of pics seem to differ from the second set. The 1st one looks to have the Titallium insert whereas the 2nd set seem to have the surlyn insert.



PLEASE TAYLORMADE, give us the Titalium insert on this one!!!   :help:    :smilie_tm:

Any scoop on those blade versions with a full face insert?

I like the curve shape face of that one spider vs the more square shape on the S

They are slightly bigger than the Itsy, 5% I believe, so still significantly smaller than Spider

I like the simpler look of this new Spider.

But I see the Raylor putters have finally made it to the US from the JDM market!

Didn't the JDM itsy bitsy have 4 degrees of loft? I would go for that.

Ha! +1 for this one

That S is pretty sweet but it won't threaten to replace my itsy until the white frame is gone too :-)

first of all...  LOVE the look.  second - TMAG, please change your insert back to the metal AGSI+ or to the tour insert.  the new plastic insert is lacking in sound/feel.

thanks again for the up close pic gents!

Great pics!  I really like the contrast in colors.  I really am looking forward to trying out the new putters.   The black shafts are intriguing as well....
