New TaylorMade Spider X putters feature Optically Engineered True Path Alignment sightline

Published

on

TaylorMade Golf Company has unveiled the 10th generation of its Spider putters – The Spider X.

In terms of updates, the Spider X features a redesigned frame, new weighting system and an optically engineered sightline (OES) featuring TaylorMade’s new True Path Alignment System.

According to the company, research derived from more than ten thousand putts from a distance of twelve feet illustrated that golfers strike the ball toward the toe of the putter 66 percent of the time – owing to a parallax effect. In the new Spider X, TaylorMade has re-engineered the mass properties while also introducing a new alignment system called True Path, designed for easier alignment enhanced focus, which seeks to provide players with a more consistent strike on the center of the face of the putter.

Compared to its predecessors, the Spider Tour and Spider Mini putters, the Spider X possesses more weight on the outside of the frame (36 percent on both perimeters v. 30 percent) which aims to provide for a more stable head shape. The head design also features a deep center of gravity (37mm), which is three times that of a traditional blade, which seeks to offer a purer hit on each stroke.

The Spider X putters contain a new, thicker 5mm Pure Roll white surlyn insert which is designed to offer improved sound, feel and roll, while their 12-groove Pure Roll insert aims to promote forward spin for a smoother roll, greater accuracy and better distance control.

The new Pure Roll insert is designed to bring the grooves into direct and active contact with the ball during impact. The grooves in the face of the putter are .5mm deep and serve to soften the insert’s structure and aim to force the insert to deform at impact, putting the grooves into direct contact with the cover of the ball.

The TaylorMade Spider X also features re-designed weight system, which includes three new weights: aluminum (2 grams), steel (6 grams) and tungsten (12 grams), while the new additions also include a composite core weighing just 15 grams. Engineers reduced the head of the Spider X by 5 percent compared to its predecessors, while maintaining the same MOI.


Speaking on the evolution of the Spider putters on its 10th anniversary, Bill Price, Senior Director, Product Creation, Putters & Wedges said

“When we first introduced the original Spider putter in 2008, we never could have anticipated the global phenomenon it has become. With widespread adoption on tours around the world, not only has it become one of the company’s top-selling putters of all time, it has truly shifted the paradigm of putter design toward high-MOI mallets.”

The Spider X putters come in two colorways with both right and left-hand options: copper/white or navy/white.

The copper/white model will be available in a short slant or single bend hosel option, while the navy/white model will be available exclusively in a short slant offering. Each is available in 33”, 34” & 35” lengths and comes equipped with SuperStroke’s Pistol GTR 1.0 grip.

The new Spider X putters will hit the retail market on February 15 and will cost $349.99 each.

    I love it!

    Great Roll, easy to line up.

    There is a reason this style of putter is replacing blades. You make more putts. You still have to do all the right things, square impact, great tempo, solid fundamentals, distance control, etc. But, same fact set just changing the putter, you will make more putts.

    Highly recommend it.

    I would get a blast motion sensor to it you really want to putt well.

    My tour red spider that I’ve had for less than a year, paint is chipping already. Won’t be long before it will be noticeable when I am trying to putt. Poor cheap finish on a high priced putter. ,

    What is with most of the posters here? Must be crappy golfers that feel the need to belittle people who like to examine new equipment offerings. Since nothing new meets your “exacting” standards, do us all a favor and leave your trolling comments somewhere else.

    Don’t see any reason here why Rory’s putting will improve. Still stand by my comments that he will never win another major.

      Wow, such harsh words. Especially towards a guy who’s won The Players this year and recently dominated the RBC Canadian Open. No reason Rory won’t win another Major, and has a decently good chance at the US Open this week with his game rounding into peak form.

    Another pos put out by taylormade. Whoever made the color scheme should be fired. Cant wait for the faces to fall out or the paint to chip by breathing on it.

    Let’s see, drivers with injected “goop” behind their face, irons with “slingshot” technology from Nike and now putters with lines and dots for alignment….WOW!!! some kind of product development efforts….lol!

    I don’t care what tech is in these or how many tour players use them. They are ugly.

    $349.99!!! What next TM 749.99 Drivers ?? Really pricing out the average golfer in terms of equipment …The way these companies are increasing prices for their rehashed offerings will surely prevent new golfers from wanting to take up our game. BTW I think we all have a putter lieing around that we think is better than this latest and greatest ;).

      Golfers that are wanting to take up the game and feel like they need to buy this sh$t…have more money than sense…f*ck em’!

      Ps…yer post sucked

    Slant neck on the tour issue models look to be more rounded, flowing. Retail slants look too flat and boxy.

    WOW, lines and dots used for alignment….pure genius!!! Never been done before!!!

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
