TaylorMades nu så välbekanta Spider-putters kommer i fyra nya modeller, alla med True Path-sikthjälpmedel som kan hjälpa dig att sätta fler puttar.
Mallet-putters med stort motstånd mot vridning är numera vanliga både på touren och bland amatörer. TaylorMades Spider-modeller är bland de mest populära och de fyra nya modeller som nu tillkommer lär inte samla damm i shoparna.
Modellerna heter Spider EX, Spider X Hydro Blast, Spider S och Spider SR. Det är relativt olika modeller, men alla är utrustade med ett särskilt True Path-sikthjälpmedel anpassat efter putterns form som kan hjälpa dig att sätta fler puttar.
Spider EX är en avancerad multimaterialkonstruktion med optimal stabilitet. Här samsas lätt aluminium och kolfiber med två tunga stålvikter samt tunga volframvikter. True Path-siktet i vitt är sinnrikt konstruerat med linjer och prickar.
En ny Pure Roll 2-multimaterialinsert med 45° vinklade grooves ger bättre rull och känsla där ett nytt Fluted Feel-skaft bidrar ytterligare.
Spider X Hydro Blast har en specialfinish utan lack, vilket gör den mycket slitstark och reptålig. Den har samma avancerade multimaterialkonstruktion som Spider X-originalet med aluminium, stål och volfram samt True Path-design och TPU Pure Roll-insert med 45° vinklade grooves.
Nya Spider S, är precisionsfräst i aluminium och har sulvikter nära tån och hälen samt en volframribba längst bak som gör puttern superstabil. Spider SR är en aning mindre, men även den en väldigt stabil pjäs med tourinspirerad form. De skiljer sig också lite i True Path-designen, men har båda det helt nya Fluted Feel-skaftet, TPU Pure Roll-insert och 45° vinklade grooves.
Du kan förbeställa alla de fyra nya Spider-modellerna 2 mars och så kommer de till shoparna en–två veckor senare. Spider EX kostar 3499 kronor, övriga 3099 kronor.

TAYLORMADE GOLF COMPANY EXPANDS THE STORIED SPIDER FRANCHISE WITH FOUR NEW PUTTER DESIGNS SPIDER EX HEADLINES THE FOURSOME, WITH EACH OPTICALLY ENGINEERED TO MAKE AIMING AND ALIGNMENT EASIER WITH DISTINCT TRUE PATH SYSTEMS
BASINGSTOKE, Hants. (March 2, 2021) – Spider putters are among the most recognisable in the world, utilising unique shapes and materials to deliver industry-leading performance in high-MOI mallets. Today, TaylorMade Golf Company announces four new additions to the acclaimed franchise: Spider EX, Spider X Hydro Blast, Spider S and Spider SR. Each model is equipped with a specialised True Path™ alignment system that fits the putter's shape while aiding certain golfer profiles.
A lot goes into hitting a solid putt. With this new class of Spider putters, we focused on removing two of those variables: aim and alignment. Each model features its own True Path that simplifies the aiming process and helps golfers set up to the ball the same way time after time. While each putter brings something unique to the table, they are bonded by a foundation of forgiveness, stability and True Path alignment that makes it easier to aim.

SPIDER EX | CONFIDENCE YOU CAN FEEL Spider EX is the foursome's A player, utilising an advanced multi-material construction to deliver optimal stability. The lightweight aluminium frame and carbon composite centre allow for strategic perimeter weighting, increasing MOI for consistent roll across the face and more forgiveness. It is outfitted with two 28g steel weights near the heel and toe, as well as heavy tungsten weights at the rear. The exact amount of tungsten varies for precision swing weighting in reference to putter length.
Compared to Spider X, the new EX model is slightly larger (+3.5mm from heel to toe and +2.7mm front to back) but with a more streamlined shape that features softer lines and a rounded backside.
Its new True Path is optically engineered to make it easier to aim, featuring a reflective white colour that spans the putter's topline and allows golfers to use the face for alignment. Three dots enclosed by dual rails are used to centre the ball and promote a consistent address position. White was strategically selected as it is the most reflective colour and provides a clear focal point that makes the stroke and the path of the roll more visible.
Spider EX features a new Pure Roll² insert, marking the company's first multi-material insert made with co-molded construction. White TPU urethane surrounds eight silver aluminium beams to create 45° grooves designed to produce better roll and feel characteristics.
The all-new Fluted Feel™ shaft adds to this putter's feel properties. It features a soft tip section intently designed to enhance feel, increase stability, and tighten dispersion. TaylorMade engineers worked in conjunction with KBS to develop this new shaft and, in the process, tested multiple iterations in a collaborative effort to maintain stability while adding feel.
With existing shaft options, many players told us they couldn't feel the full weight of the putter head or feel the toe release. We didn't want to just make the shaft softer (add flex) to improve feel at the sacrifice of stability. That inspired us to go this journey with KBS and develop a shaft that delivers on both fronts."

Collectively, Spider EX is designed for easy aim, better feel and enhanced stability to provide golfers with more confidence on the putting green.
SPECIFICATIONS, PRICING & AVAILABILITY Spider EX will be available for pre-order on March 2 and at retail beginning March 12 with an RRP of 3,499 SEK. Available stock lengths include 33", 34" and 35". Offered in three different colourways: Platinum/White, Navy/White and Ghost White. Hosel options include short slant (all colours), flow neck (Platinum/White & Ghost White) and single bend (Platinum/White & Navy/White). It comes equipped with the TaylorMade Fluted Feel™ shaft and Super Stroke Pistol GTR 1.0 grip as stock.
The all-new 2021 Spider models will also be available via Custom. Options include any length between 32” – 37” (quarter of an inch increments) LH or RH, loft & lie adjusted by up to 2° and the choice of 11 different grips (all FOC).
SPIDER X HYDRO BLAST | PROVEN PERFORMANCE WITH A NEW LOOK Spider X is the best-selling model in the franchise's history, delivering proven performance at every level of the game. On Tour, it has accounted for 11 victories over the last two-plus seasons (including the start of the 2020-21 season) while also producing record-setting numbers at retail.
Spider X Hydro Blast builds on that tradition of success with an all-new colourway and finishing process. The high-pressure application of water to the aluminium body creates a smooth and premium finish in a rich silver colourway. Added durability is a by-product of this process, as the absence of paint means no surface blemishes related to chipping and greater scratch resistance.
It maintains the same advanced multi-material construction as the original Spider X, relying on a combination of aluminium (2g), steel (6g) and tungsten (12g) weights along with a composite centre to optimise MOI and stability. Its Tour-proven True Path design aids in alignment, while its white TPU Pure Roll™ insert delivers a soft feel and 45° grooves encourage better forward roll as well as improved sound, feel and overall roll characteristics compared to a solid face.
SPECIFICATIONS, PRICING & AVAILABILITY Spider X Hydro Blast will be available for pre-order on March 2 and at retail beginning March 12 with an RRP of 3,099 SEK. Available stock lengths include 33", 34" and 35". It comes equipped with the KBS Chrome C-Taper Stepless shaft and Super Stroke Pistol GTR 1.0 grip as stock.
The all-new 2021 Spider models will also be available via Custom. Options include any length between 32” – 37” (quarter of an inch increments) LH or RH, loft & lie adjusted by up to 2° and the choice of 11 different grips (all FOC).
SPIDER S & SPIDER SR | HIGH STABILITY FORGIVENESS TaylorMade introduced Spider S in 2020 as the most forgiving model in the Spider family, with an MOI of more than 6,000. The company has refreshed that original design with a new arrow-shaped True Path inspired by archery's pinpoint precision. The newly engineered alignment system is optically designed to make it easier for golfers to aim. Located on the topline, it provides a clear focal point that is the exact width of a golf ball, which helps with consistent address positions and face direction.
Spider S is manufactured from high-grade 6061 aluminium and is 100-percent machine milled for precision shaping. The square-shaped putter head is outfitted with two 42g sole weights strategically placed near the toe and heel to help stabilise the putter while optimising CG location.
A heavy tungsten backbar is used to further optimise swing weight based on the length of the putter. Coming in four different weights ranging from 40g to 70g, the backbar at the rear of the putter is designed to influence head weight, feel and performance.
Stability is the calling card of the Spider family. With the all-new Spider SR (Stability Refined), TaylorMade delivers high-MOI performance in a Tour-inspired double wing shape. The multi-material design features two back weights crafted from either steel (10g) or tungsten (15g, 20g) to optimise swing weight.
Due to a smaller footprint (5mm shorter front to back), Spider SR has a slightly lower MOI than Spider S. However, it's still among the most stable and forgiving putters in the current Spider line-up. Another key differentiator is how True Path is positioned within the cavity behind the putter face. Also drawing inspiration from archery, the arrow-shaped design delivers an easy-to-aim alignment tool that promotes consistently centred ball positions at address.
Both Spider SR and Spider S are equipped with the all-new Fluted Feel™ shaft, delivering enhanced feel and optimal stability to putters that are already designed for forgiveness. The Tour-proven TPU Pure Roll insert provides a soft feel, and 45° grooves encourage better forward roll as well as improved sound, feel and overall roll characteristics compared to a solid face.
SPECIFICATIONS, PRICING AND AVAILABILITY Spider S and Spider SR will be available for pre-order on March 2 and at retail beginning April 9, each with an RRP of 3,099 SEK. Available stock lengths include 33", 34" and 35". Both come equipped with the TaylorMade Fluted Feel™ shaft and Super Stroke Pistol GTR 1.0 grip as stock.
The all-new 2021 Spider models will also be available via Custom. Options include any length between 32” – 37” (quarter of an inch increments) LH or RH, loft & lie adjusted by up to 2° and the choice of 11 different grips (all FOC).
