Meet The Spider Mini Putters

Delivering Pure Roll performanc­e in a refined Spider design

-

Taylormade Golf’s Spider Mini is a wingless design delivering the performanc­e characteri­stics of the original Spider Tour putters in a more streamline­d, minimalist­ic construct. Overall, the constructi­on of the Spider Mini has a 15% reduction in head size compared to the Spider Tour while still delivering the stability and high MOI properties as its bigger sibling whilst still retaining a 355g head weight. The smaller head size results in a forward movement of CG from 37mm to 30mm away from the leading edge; enabling the release of the putter head easier through the hitting area of the stroke, similar to that of a blade putter.

Spider Mini also incorporat­es Taylormade’s patented, tour proven Pure Roll insert, which combines 45° grooves with a softer polymer to increase topspin and improve forward roll across varying surfaces to help the golf ball start and stay on its intended line. Redesigned steel weights cast directly into the putter’s head provide precise and consistent balance, while an adjustable sole weight allows players who seek heavier options the ability to customise to their preference. Additional weights (sold separately) are available in 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20g options.

Derived from tour player feedback, the new T-sightline encourages proper alignment and a square club face. The new sightline’s depth mimics the dimensions of a classic blade putter to provide a seamless transition for golfers exploring mallet shaping and has been praised by players seeking alternativ­e options to a through-line or current alignment options.

"Spider Mini gives golfers a brand-new look and feel while still remaining very much a part of the Spider Tour family. It has the same Pure Roll insert and presents many of the same features that make Spider such a successful putter, but it is delivered in a scaled-down shape for those seeking a smaller footprint without sacrificin­g stable, high-moi performanc­e," adds Chris Trott, Taylormade Tour Manager.

Spider Mini will be offered in both right and left-hand models in a Tour Red or Diamond Silver finish with a double bend shaft. Equipped with a Superstrok­e Pistol GTR 1.0 grip and in 33", 34" & 35" lengths, each model is face-balanced and features Taylormade's tour-proven aluminium Pure Roll insert.

Porterline Golf’s unfailing focus is in designing and engineerin­g hybrid golf bags that combine a travel case and a golf bag into one single piece of convenient and functional equipment essential for the travelling golfer. Porterline has set a very high benchmark on travel golf bags in the industry beginning with their first product, the Skyporter, a bag that combines a hard top, a digit lock and wheels. It can be taken onto the golf course right after golfers get off the plane or ship, with no clumsy housing or hard shell to contend with. An important feature that is continued throughout the rest of their product lines.

Not content with their current range, Porterline has once again made huge strides in design and material usage for its diverse range of hybrid golf bags. As evident from the new cheery graphics on the easy rolling and handling on the 901m, the stylishly classic yet functional 909s and the ever popular lightweigh­t 908S which is no lightweigh­t when it comes to its features.

To view the complete range of Porterline hybrid golf bags, visit its regional distributo­r, Golf & Leisure, who have been in business since 1979. They are located at 545, Orchard Road, #0218/19/20/21, Far East Shopping Centre, Singapore, 238883.
