Spotted: TaylorMade Spider OS and OS CB putters
We spotted two new putters from TaylorMade at the 2015 Shriners Open on Tuesday; the Spider OS and Spider OS CB.
Both have milled inserts, a slew of visual effects to help alignment and the familiar TaylorMade Spider head shape with wings for stability. It appears from the photos the OS CB is slightly larger, and judging by labels on the putter, weighs about 400 grams. The OS, on the other hand, looks a little smaller and weighs about 355 grams.
Check out more photos below, and see what GolfWRX members are saying about TaylorMade’s new putters in the forums.

Aretera officially launches Alpha One shafts, available at Club Champion
As we reported earlier this year, Alex Dee, along with a group of industry veterans, have officially launched their own golf shaft company, leading with the Alpha One. Now you can get your hands on that shaft at Club Champion.
The Alpha One Blue and Gray series are debuting Aretera’s PowerGrid technology. Aretera is the first company to use spread tow woven carbon fabric in multiple layers at full length comprising over 50 percent of the shafts weight in design for maximum stability with a uniform feel.
These materials, novel in their application at this level, aim to offer high-level structural benefits compared to traditional unidirectional composites.
Speaking on the new shafts, Alex Dee stated:
“A lot of shafts have had to sacrifice feel to get stability. We’ve found ways to get it back. And it’s not a compromise.”
Aretera launches on April 1, 2024 at all Club Champion locations nationwide.

Things got heated at the Houston Open between Tony Finau and Alejandro Tosti. Here’s why

If MOI and forgiveness is the goal here, why make a smaller one?

Jason Day might have something to do with making a smaller one…

Its probably because the cb model is counterbalanced and with a smaller lighter head the effect of the counterbalance is more effective and noticeable.

Great looking putter, love the red sight-line!

No adjustable weights?

Do you think the OS model is more comparable to what Jason Day has been successfully using?

No.

Yes.

No, his putter is more like a custom itsy bitsy spider.

Correct Mlecuni, of which, this looks to be comparable in size.

No real tech improvement over the orig. Spider Vicino and others. Save you money unless you aesthetic change.

These have Milled Inserts and not the plastic ones

And this is counter balanced

I really like the looks of this one compared to the prior DDL and Spiders. Paint looks a lot better and more in line with the DDL+. Unfortunately it will probably be $300.
