Taylormade Spider GT Max Putter Review // Adjustable Putter

[@holeinonezig]

Admittedly not a tech new gizmo guy. Had same type of putter for yrs. This thing is crazy stable & square thru impact. It’s the most on line I’ve rolled putts EVER. TaylorMade really has something here

[@at1108]

I tried it at the store for 2 days, same results. Most stable and straight line putter I have used

[@eeleaj3934]

Same here hahaha. I went for a grip change and while waiting saw this beauty.. gave it a few rolls and was really impressed. Will be in the bag soon.

[@dougnval]

me too, I tried it in the store on a whim and now keep watching videos and shopping to buy it. It just felt great compared to my old putter.

[@tomhundley2435]

Tried out putters for a couple hours at PGA Superstore. They had 200 putters in stock available for demo on their large indoor putting area. This particular putter was the standout for accuracy at all distances. Then i checked the sticker price - I should’a known - it was the most expensive putter in the mix of putters that stood out in my hands.

[@gerardprendergast7016]

Made me smile at the end there guys!! I like how you guys keep the reviews professional and complimentary but yet you don't try to fool the viewers. I think it's just how you are naturally 👍

[@cksamo]

Evnroll is modular, but what would be really great is an adjustable hosel for loft/lie.

[@marcclermont1849]

You can bend putters during fits to suit the player

[@canyonaro]

PXG is also modular.

[@tombland7336]

Another great impartial and informative video!

[@breakingninetygolf]

The interesting this is I don't think you missed a putt, so does adjustment really matter?

[@jakemorrow5235]

Like many other pioneering designs... this may not be the most attractive thing but what's important is what this will pave the way for moving forward. Absolutely love it

[@chuckthetruck1232]

@txg what’s the difference between Face rotation (°) and Twist (°)?

[@briansgolfworks4991]

I'd like to see the TM vs. The LAB DF Putter you reviewed.

[@tom_luley]

I thought this was a fake render when I saw it pop up last week. Interesting concept, hopefully they can trim it down a bit over the next few years.

[@jacobmccain8082]

Trimming it down would decrease the effect of the sliding weight which would effectively render it useless. I agree though, kind of a beast.

[@pigs6486]

It's the dumbest looking thing in golf.

[@noodle3872]

I think Odyssey Golf would argue they are the leader in mallet use with #7.

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Scotty Cameron has a nice #7 model as well. This one they had in this video didn’t look all that to me.

[@swisstrader]

Just bought this TM putter. Felt great on the Astro turf. Just have to see if that translates to the course😂 My tendency is to leave putts right, so hoping the weights forward might help

[@DizzyGoat44]

Would love a review of the new Lab Golf Link.1

[@golf007sd2]

VERY interesting putter by TM. One would hope when playing 18 holes and things are not always going, hence miss iron shots and drives, keeping your putting technique in check so that strokes are gained on the putting green. Never the less, very informative video.

[@MichaelLittleGolf]

Would like to see you test the Makefield V-S Putter. Same idea just more options.

[@colehilchie7903]

great video boys, love the putter videos!

[@TheFoz1983]

I’ll stick to my Scotty Newport oil can I’ve had since the 90s. It’s completely rusty now and still love it

[@joshualink6973]

Can't wait for the Mizuno wedge review

[@danthemaninfierno]

I put my weights all the way forward for low spin. 💪

[@skylarsteel91]

To me, the summary is that these weights can help subtly if you have the wrong neck for the toe hang that you need.

[@CriscoNabisc0]

but can you scoop the ball off the green with the back of the putter

[@swisstrader]

No! I tried it😂

[@at1108]

What does a center 2.5g weight change to 10g would do to the putter from a launch angle?

[@lawbinson]

How was this not called the Taylormade SLDR Spider

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Yep….they sure missed the opportunity on that one. Maybe it’s just as well I thought that was the worst driver they ever put out..

[@lawbinson]

I wonder if an Anser shape of this would be useful. Just sliding the weights heelward or toeward

[@knightriderkitt3000]

Probably not. You won't be moving the CG much, if any with that which would minimize the effect. It might be good on those off center hits, by putting the weight behind it to keep the distance on a putt when mishit.

[@coreymoore01]

Anxiously awaiting a video on center shafted putters and why you say they are 💩

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

I can make any putter work on practice green or fitting....I get out playing and I suck...what can I do to get help between the ears?

[@stdr04]

I used to do this with my Odyssey Tank 7. You could put a heavy weight in the toe and no weight in heel. This would encourage more of an arc stroke.

[@romansantos2241]

Wouldn’t that do the opposite? Like, if you put more weight in the toe, wouldn’t that slow the rate of closure down?

[@michaelgillies9075]

@@romansantos2241 more weight in the toe area helps with closing the face at impact more and is suitable for pushers of the ball

[@romansantos2241]

@@michaelgillies9075 ok got it. Thanks for the clarification. I guess rate of closure works differently for putters…I know for sure with with weight adjustable drivers that adding weight to the toe slows the rate of closure down. Cheers.

[@willadair6178]

@@michaelgillies9075That’s incorrect. TXG has proven otherwise. Weight in the toe slows down rate of closure, which is why it’s better for players with an arc. Players with an arc close the face faster, thus needing toe hang to slow it down for consistent impact angle.

[@michaelgillies9075]

@@willadair6178 so are you saying that TaylorMade do not know what they are talking about,what I said is in reference to how they describe the moveable weights in the putter,the weights moved all the way to the front helps with closing the face faster and helps with pushers of the ball and vice versa with the weight in the back,so unless you actually work for TaylorMade I’d suggest u pipe down and 🤫

[@jamiek1975]

How would the numbers change if this was the double bend shaft?

[@GRIFF22]

I've seen reviews where the front weight is 10g, so is that optional when ordering?

[@hbyrdut]

Did he hit the last 3 putts with the weight in the toe at the front and the weight in the heel at the back? If so , I would have thought his face would have not rotated as much and the ball would have been in the right side of the hole instead of the left.

[@SDGolfGuy]

Would have loved to see the actual toe hang angles measured as the weights are moved around. Are we talking a mallet that is going from 4 degrees to 45 degrees, or are we talking 15 degrees to 30 degrees? Great video.

[@michaelgillies9075]

From what I saw somewhere it’s 17,20&23 degrees toe hang depending on where it’s at

[@jacobmccain8082]

I wish I could use a mallet. I've tried TONS of them over the years, most recently a LAB Mezz. I just make more putts with Newport/NP2 shape. Although I did put the Mezz grip on my Champion's Choice Newport 2 and love it so it wasn't a total loss.

[@TrevorDandy.]

Why would you wish you could use a mallet? Are you saying you wish you’d hole less putts? lol. If the NP/2 works, this comment doesn’t make any sense

[@stuboy13]

Which L.a.b. grip did you put on the Newport? I'm thinking of doing this, bit they differ greatly in weight and size and I can't try before I buy .

[@gt2038]

Why do TM shy away from centre shaft? I find CS putters more accurate and repeatable. Adjustable weights are a good idea

[@swisstrader]

Shy away?…yes, this particular model doesnt have center face but all other spyder models do

[@blakeg.1093]

I'm wondering, unless you are a TM only type, couldn't you find the right putter for you, without the adjustability considering all the options out there?

[@timmygolfs]

Great video, love the putting content. You promised!! We won't forget lol

[@SnoXRacer183]

I'd be curious to see numbers of putting something 30ft on a generic public course speed green vs this little love tap of these 6ft putts. I feel like the effort put into these putts are like tapping in gimmies on course by me.

[@rorygroom211]

This is interesting, love the putter videos. Any chance you'll be reviewing the newer L.A.B. putters? I'm curious how the tech between evnroll, LAB, and SIK stacks up in terms of results.

[@michaelgillies9075]

I don’t know about the other 2,but I was fitted for an evnroll ER2V with a 100gram weight fitted into the shaft to help smooth out my stroke and I love it,but I must say I do like the look of these as my moss is too the left so I’m tempted to look into it

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Any readers here have a "long term" review of their experience with this putter?

[@jimmyculp8756]

How many MOI? My Cure putter is about 15,000?

[@dabdias]

How does it compare to L.A.B. putters?

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Very interesting concept

[@peak905]

Do you think this is an answer to LabGolf?

[@exrog]

What is the total weight of the putter, ie, 340 , 380 gram?

[@nicholashowell9371]

How about putting the settings in 1 and 3 how would it go

[@swisstrader]

You will now make every putt you look at😂

[@troyrambo6804]

I like the tech, but the quality of the build with paint and cheap metal with an insert face is not to my liking. Maybe I"m a putter snob, but I just can't stomach using a face insert putter. I prefer fully milled. Have a Toulon and PXG with similar shape and they are fantastic. Probably would own one of these also if the face and head were a fully milled block of metal like the Toulon. They look nice though.

[@Ortibobs]

I really like the tech idea behind this. Like ST-G weight tracks in a putter. It would be good to see a test looking at the impact of a consistent miss out of the heel Vs toe, with different weight settings and compared to a previous version without to see the benefits on forgiveness.

[@keithfinley2939]

What happens when you split 1/3, 2/3, 3/2, and 3/1? I'm thinking tweaks to toe hang?

[@CraigalFun]

I think it would mess are heads up lol

[@BasedHadrian]

We need moe videos on the swing changes you’re doing with Scott I thought it would be more frequent was looking forward to it

[@clubchampionmedia]

New video on swing changes coming out tomorrow 👍

[@Derek_Ryan]

Not a big PXG guy….but I did a putter fitting with them and their putter fitting system is amazing. Head/shaft/weight combos are endless. I am now the proud owner of a PXG putter. 😂😂

[@pigs6486]

I used to make fun of PXG until they dropped their prices in half during the holidays. That, and the new 0211 driver was only $199 and is very classy and sleek compared to PXG's bold screws and frills look. Had to get it, and I'm in love.

[@brianbartsch8486]

Interesting. How many times does a person put a putter away and grab a different one to "teach it a lesson" during a spell of poor putting performance? Putting styles for a person evolve I think and this would allow some evolution instead of constantly buying a slightly different putter to fit a new stroke etc

[@The_Osprey]

TXG is a "Club Champion" brand now?

[@knightriderkitt3000]

They merged with CC awhile ago. Some say that's actually why Mattie left initially.

[@michael2782]

To me watching putt after putt go in the hole did not demonstrate your point about the adjustable putter. It would have been more interesting (again, to me) to have had someone with a little more of a problem with the putter be helped by moving the weights around.

[@jonathanbrown9245]

Really interesting as always guys... But Odyssey Triple Track is the king of mallet putters 😁

[@ChrisJReagan]

It was weird not having to flip pull/push and left/right on this video like normal.

[@CraigalFun]

Yes ping fitting confirmed weights further back plays morr toe hang in theory

[@philhazel4810]

I just realized that this would be one time that my ball speed would be as high as Mattie's 😂

[@dunbarcustomsound]

I might have to spend money on this… If I didn’t three putt (by pushing right) on 3 holes today, I could have broken 90 😂

[@ipotato95]

This looks like it could be a headcases demise if someone grabs this that doesn’t understand their tendencies/didn’t get a fitting and constantly messes with the weights

[@swisstrader]

Not really. Most ppl know their tendencies and the weights are a pretty quick fix for that.

[@dougnval]

id like to see this test done with a "not so great" golfer. Lets see if the technology improves somebody thats really hitting badly.

[@BG-fh5me]

He putts righty but swings left?

[@The_sunday_lout]

I’m split, Firstly I love the innovation and tbh I’ve been doing this with lead tape on my scotty to change the toe hang. Mainly just because I love the scotty firm. But, I can’t help but feel. A players skill level is being diminished with the shear level of aids in clubs vs practising and level to hit the centre of the club. Or am I just getting the wrong end of the stick and Taylormade are just making a putter to fit all types. Instead of 12 different models.

[@sorcerycircus4090]

Lab .. 😎

[@markroper1956]

First thing they should have worked on is a coating or paint that lasts better than all the models that came before this!! 😮

[@Tom-ok2rh]

I never had any issues with my Spyder putters at all. If they stay covered I never saw a nick or chip anywhere but I did hear they had problems.

[@knightriderkitt3000]

They did. These, the GTs and the Hydroblast don't use paint. It's anodized metal that gives the colors if I remember right.

[@vegas005]

Lia angle needs to be adjustable

[@abelguerrero1668]

I’m pretty sure the putter you used is a fake. It has some differences to the one on TM site.

[@gearbox1858]

A shame the build quality on Spider is terrible. Paint chips, misaligned inserts, sideways grips….hard pass….

Complicating everything with putters just to confuse the average golfer

[@DLOT1]

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. That putter is hideous 😆

[@MikeSoutham]

yep I agree. Huge TM fan here and I can't stand the look of that thing. Similar with that Stealth 2 Plus Fairway with the slidable weight... Did they remotely consider that mud and gunk will get stuck in there (being a Fairway) and throw the weight off anyway???
