Progression of the GT Putter:
The Spider Tour and Spider X have been hugely successful for TaylorMade, and the Spider GT offers a modern design on these cult classics. The original TaylorMade Spider Putter was released in 2008, and the GT putter is a relatively new addition to the Spider family, released in 2022.
While the Spider GT retains the core principles of high MOI and forgiveness, it introduces a new design aesthetic with a sleeker, more angular profile.
Key upgrades in the Spider GT compared to its predecessors include:
- Modernized Design: The Spider GT boasts a fresh, contemporary look compared to the rounded shapes of previous models.
- Enhanced Perimeter Weighting: While TaylorMade has always been a leader in high MOI putters, the Spider GT is claimed to push this even further, providing increased stability.
- Refined Alignment Aids: The alignment features on the Spider GT are designed to be more intuitive and effective.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The GT's grip is very comfortable, and it allows you to feel as if the putter is an extension of your arms. |
| I have been using this putter for a year. I love the heavy head and smooth roll, which makes it especially suited for long putts. |
| Lining up the ball is easy, and the sweet spot is big. The GT is very forgiving. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| This putter is standardized and does not lend itself to customization of the head weighting. |
| I have put about 25 rounds on this putter. The face insert is easily dented, so make sure you wipe the face every time. |
| I dislike the sound and feel. Even if you miss the center, you won't notice as it's designed to go almost the same distance on mishits. |
The Spider GT putter comes in 4 color options, with 5 different neck styles to suit all types of putting strokes. It's designed to be easy to align and stable, helping you start your putt on the right line. The Pure Roll grooves and stability features also help to improve the consistency of your pace. This means you can focus more on reading the green and less on worrying about your putt.
