Taylormade Spider Tour Red Sightline
www.taylormadegolf.com Weight: 355g Grip: Superstroke Pistol GTR 1.0 Toe hang: Slight
TECH:
The exact putter Jason Day used to get to World No.1, but with the addition of a sightline on the crown to focus attention. Exceptional perimeter weighting offers excellent off-centre strike forgiveness and a slight toe hang means the putter is well suited to slightly arcing strokes.
WE SAY:
We reckon this new model is a big step forward from last year’s Spider Tour. A full-length sightline on the crown is much more suited to club golfers, as is the slightly thicker, sharp-edged grip, which gives an excellent sensation of what the club face is doing. We reckon part of the reason this slantneck model is so popular on tour is how putters of this shape are usually facebalanced, but thanks to the Red’s slant hosel giving a slight toe hang, plus the promise of better forgiveness and stability, it attracts the eye and stroke of golfers who usually use smaller, less forgiving clubs.
TOP GEAR VERDICT
For 2018 the Spider Tour is available in four different hosel set-ups (which change face balancing), so there’s a solution for everyone. Scientifically, red helps you focus, increases accuracy and enhances your attention to detail. It all means you won’t go wrong with one in the bag in 2018.
