Today, TaylorMade Golf Company introduces the Spider GT family with four new additions to the acclaimed Spider franchise: Spider GT, Spider GT Notchback, Spider GT Rollback and Spider GT Splitback.

The four models set a new standard of performance and contemporary construction, headlined by a Spider GT with its modern wing design and ultra-lightweight top plate.

“Innovation has long been the bloodline of the Spider franchise. From its optimised stability frame to its countless victories on worldwide Tours, every Spider putter is designed to deliver pure performance,” TaylorMade Senior Director Product Creation, Putters Bill Price said. “With Spider GT, we have created our most angular and most stable Spider ever using a new modern wing construction similar to other high stability Spider putters of the past. With the removal of weight from the centre of Spider GT, we have unlocked higher MOI and more stability from every angle.”

The most striking feature of the Spider GT is the lightweight 145g top plate made from 6061 aluminium, which eliminates excess weight in the middle of the putter and carries a short sightline for alignment. Combined with the ultralight top plate, a first of its kind open frame multi-material design features two 90g steel side weights that push 82 percent of the putter’s total weight to the perimeter. This creates extreme stability on off-centre strikes.

The Spider GT top plate is crafted from lightweight aluminium for both a premium look and increased durability compared to paint or PVD finishes. The four anodized finishes for Spider GT are silver, black, red and white for the Spider GT women’s model, which also features a three-dot sightline for alignment.

Spider GT’s contemporary design has the ‘Pure Roll²’ co-moulded insert for improved forward roll and ball speed consistency across the face. Pure Roll² is a firmer insert, manufactured of black TPU urethane with silver aluminium beams at a 45° angle designed to improve topspin across the face.

Spider GT Notchback blends traditional design with contemporary construction to create a time-honoured shape. CG is positioned the farthest forward with Notchback’s to make face rotation easier.

Featuring a lightweight 6061 aluminium body combined with strategically placed 86g dual-tungsten weights on the outside (heel and toe), Spider GT Notchback has premier stability, forgiveness and distance control. TaylorMade records show that it produces the highest MOI ever created by a mid-size mallet Spider.

An extruded then machined aluminium head creates a stout section of material behind the face insert for a confidence-inspiring strike along with superb sound. Both Spider GT Notchback and Rollback feature a tri-sole design that allows golfers to properly set the putter square on the ground without changing the face angle.

Spider GT Rollback is a classic half-moon design enhanced by a heavy tungsten rollbar for added perimeter weighting and increased stability. Rollback creates confidence at address with a raised, curved centre section that is the same width of a golf ball. This makes it easy to centre the ball in the address position and three contrasting black sightlines provide clear alignment with the hole.

The Rollback top design has a lighter anterior with a 232g cap crafted from anodized 6061 aluminium combined with our first 80g tungsten stability bar that wraps around the back and side of the putter for added forgiveness and stability.

Spider GT Splitback features a refined 304-stainless steel construction with geometric shaping and urethane foam strategically injected inside the putter head.

The split mass “winged” design allowed TaylorMade designers to redistribute mass around the perimeter of the putter in order to maximise MOI and stability. In this shape, a steel body naturally provides more perimeter weighting than an aluminium one.

Due to the high density of steel, the wing sections of the design needed to be partially pocketed out to remove excess weight. The chambers within the wings are filled with feel foam, similar to the ‘SpeedFoam’ material used in P·770/P·790 irons. This helps fill the voids and damp vibrations, resulting in better sound and feel.

Spider GT Splitback incorporates one of the standout features of Spider X with ‘True Path’, TaylorMade’s ball alignment and stroke visualisation aid. While standing over Spider GT Splitback, True Path is highly visible and seamlessly integrated into the head. The contrasting white section, black sightline and arrow-shaped rear edge help golfers visualise their putting stroke and ball path before ever executing the putt.
