TaylorMade launches new Spider Zero Torque putter

Published

May 29, 2025

TaylorMade has today introduced the new Spider Zero Torque putter, designed to give golfers of all abilities increased stability and consistency on the greens through its high-MOI design that utilizes multi-material construction, onset hosel configuration, extreme perimeter weighting, and precise CG placement.

The Spider ZT putters utilize 100-percent milled multi-material construction featuring high-density 303 stainless steel in the face and low-density 6061 aluminum in the back. Extreme perimeter weighting is also designed to enhance the putters’ high-MOI and enhanced stability dynamics. Three strategically placed TSS weights allowed TaylorMade engineers to triangulate CG properties in a bid to maintain a toe-up position.

When designing Spider ZT, TaylorMade engineers positioned the CG 25mm behind the face. This allowed them to bore the shaft directly in line with the CG with 1-degree of onset. This orientation not only is designed to reduce the amount of face twisting that occurs during the stroke, it also presets the shaft in a forward-leaning position at address and eliminates the propensity for golfers to add loft at impact. The result is designed to offer a consistent end-over-end roll that enhances distance control and allows putts to stay online.

The new putter has a heel-to-toe cambered sole to accommodate a wide array of player types and setup styles, and is designed to work specifically with the hosel configuration. As a result, golfers are better able to sole and aim the putter at address and deliver it to that same square position at impact.

TaylorMade’s True Path Alignment announces itself in a new way with Spider ZT. Instead of appearing as a solid white streak on the top of the putter with a black sightline, Spider ZT features thinly milled lines on the top of the 303 stainless steel face that are evenly spaced, with the total lined area adding up to the exact width of a golf ball. This design aims to allow golfers to precisely center the ball in the middle of the face at address to reduce misses on the heel and toe.

Like previous generations of Spider putters, Spider ZT utilizes TaylorMade’s Pure Roll insert. Made from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum, the insert features grooves that are angled at 45 degrees to promote forward roll, while also enhancing sound and feel.

Pricing & Availability

Available in standard, counterbalance, and long lengths, Spider ZT putters will be available for preorder today at the company’s website and at retail locations starting June 5. Spider ZT putters come in standard length (33”, 34” and 35”) and are priced at $449.99; counterbalance putters (36”and 38”) at $499.99; and long putters (46” RH Only) at $549.99.

GolfWRX Staff

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.”
