TaylorMade Golf unveils new Spider Tour Series featuring 5 unique models

Published

on

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

Spider Tour

The Spider Tour model has a CG location of 35 mm from the face, 5,700 MOI and 29 degrees of toe hang on a small slant hosel. Spider Tour has over 700 MOI more than the previous model.

Amidst the recent trend of counterbalance putters on Tour, Spider Tour also comes in a 38-inch counter balance model with a 17-inch SuperStroke 3.0 grip.

SpiderTourX

TSS weights in Spider Tour X are placed farther forward, generating more face rotation and a CG placement that is 33mm from the face compared to 35mm of Spider Tour.This model has MOI of 5,000 and 30° of toe hang on the small slant hosel.

Spider Tour Z

Spider TourZ is one of two new shapes in this lineup, paying homage to the Spider Tour with a wing shaped back. The perimeter of this putter sits low in the ground to provide a comfortable feeling at address and help frame the golf ball for easy alignment.

TSS weights on this model are placed very far forward to encourage more face rotation and a blade-like feel.It has a CG location of 29mm from the face, 5,050 MOI and 29 degrees of toe hang with a small slant hosel.

Spider Tour V

Spider Tour V eliminates the wing structure and creates a more modern streamlined look. It is the smallest putter in shape and size in the lineup, providing the most rotation of the bunch. Spider Tour V has a CG location of 27 mm from the face, MOI of 4,900 and 32 degrees of toe hang with a small slant hosel.

Spider Tour S

The Spider Tour S is a larger version of the original Spider.The putter head is 3mm longer and 8mm wider in comparison.

Spider Tour S is constructed at a heavier head weight and only offered at 3 5” and 38” lengths, with both featuring counterbalance grips for maximum stability. Spider Tour S has a CG location of 38mm from the face, 6,063 MOI and is face balanced. It will be available in Spring of 2024.

Specs, Pricing & Availability

    Great news, but will the paint/ finish start peeling off after a couple of months like the tour red ones did?

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.”
