TaylorMade has today unveiled the release of the Spider Tour Series–a family of high MOI putters with five unique models featuring technologies such as True Path Alignment, Pure Roll and TSS weighting.

Each Spider Tour Series putter is crafted using multi-material construction to push weight low and back in the head in design for high levels of inertia. Engineers created structures that maintain the shape of a classic Spider Tour, then utilized thin wall undercuts to remove excess weight.

A steel wire frame construction allows engineers to better control weight distribution and CG location. The suite of putters includes various CG positions to fit a wide variety of putting styles, while also arming custom fitters with an array of options.

Underneath the hood is a new HYBRAR Echo Damper that is also seen in TaylorMade distance irons such as Stealth and Stealth HD. It is placed directly behind the face in a bid to dampen unwanted vibrations, while delivering premium sound and feel on every putt.

With the Spider Tour Series, TaylorMade is utilizing the same Pure Roll insert that rose to prominence with the original Spider X putter. Molded from a Surlyn material, it is designed to deliver a soft yet responsive feel with grooves that are angled 45 degrees downward to help impart better topspin and end-over-end roll.

The Gunmetal PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish not only aims to enhance the aesthetics of the putters but also bids to enhance durability. The PVD coating is designed to create a robust barrier that helps protect the surface from the rigors of regular use and exposure to various environmental elements.

“Spider putters have long been synonymous with stability, which directly translates to high-MOI performance. The unconventional shape creates a more stable platform that protects ball speed on mis-hits and delivers a more consistent roll across the face. Our new Spider TourSeries maintains our iconic technological features, including True Path and PureRoll, while also delivering a range of shapes and CG locations to match a variety of putting styles.”–Brian Bazzel, VP of Product Creation
