TaylorMade Spider Tour Putter
TaylorMade's flagship tour mallet delivers the brand's highest MOI ever with dual-aluminum sole weights and a Pure Roll insert — the putter most often spotted in professional bags worldwide.
The consensus
The TaylorMade Spider Tour is the most successful putter franchise in tour history, and the current generation represents the pinnacle of the Spider design philosophy: extreme perimeter weighting, a reliable roll-inducing insert, and alignment aids that work at real putting speeds. With dual-aluminum sole weights pushed to the heel and toe extremes, the Spider Tour delivers TaylorMade's highest MOI in the Spider Tour line, translating to offline forgiveness that MyGolfSpy's Most Wanted testing placed among the best in the mallet category.
Where sources align: forgiveness, roll quality, and alignment. The Pure Roll insert's 45-degree groove pattern produces immediate forward roll at impact, and multiple expert reviewers confirmed consistent distance control as a headline strength. The True Path alignment system received consistent praise across sources including True Spec Golf and Golf Monthly as one of the most effective alignment aids in the mallet category. Tour validation is as strong as it gets: Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, and Collin Morikawa have all won major championships with Spider putters.
Where opinion splits: feel and visual profile. The Pure Roll insert creates firmer feedback than premium metal or carbon steel face competitors — Golf Digest testers found it a touch plasticky at soft speeds, while others praised its consistency. The larger mallet footprint is a known polarizer: players transitioning from blades often find the size distracting at address, while experienced mallet users find the visual confidence it provides worth any initial adjustment period. At $350, the Spider Tour sits at a meaningful price point — below the Scotty Cameron Phantom range but above previous-generation Spiders that deliver similar performance on the used market. For players who want the highest forgiveness available in a premium mallet with genuine tour credibility, it remains the benchmark.
