TaylorMade to release Spider Limited Black putter

Dustin Johnson went black and soon you can, too. TaylorMade is releasing its Spider Limited putter in an black version that’s similar to the putter Dustin Johnson used to win the BMW Championship.
Like the Spider Limited Red, which was inspired by Jason Day’s taste in putters, the Spider Limited Black is a face-balanced design, has a single, white sightline and uses TaylorMade’s milled Pure Roll Insert.
What makes the Spider Limited unique is its relatively compact size — at least among mallet putters — and its big forgiveness. Its lightweight, 6061 aluminum body is reinforced with a stainless steel frame that creates an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI), a putter’s resistance to twisting on off-center hits. According to TaylorMade, the Spider Limited’s MOI is more than 4900.
It should be noted that the Spider Limited putters are slightly different than Day’s and Johnson’s putters in two ways: Day’s and Johnson’s putters do not have sight lines, and their putters have longer “flow necks” that create a small amount of toe hang.
Spider Limited Black putters ($299) are available in lengths of 34 and 35 inches for right-handed golfers. The putters will be in stores November 25. Pre-order now.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here.
What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

Perfect example of why Taylormade is struggling………they are clueless when it comes to listening to golf enthusiasts, like everyone on this thread. They are trying to appeal to high handicap golfers, who are the people that don’t buy the newer expensive equipment. The people that are interested in this putter are your lower to mid handicappers and willing to pay $300. Great job of getting it all wrong again Taylormade. No sight line and flow neck, simple as that.

All you have to do is scrape the paint and get it to the base or fill it with black. Solved.
