This beautiful look in the Tour V and the Tour F.

The other new small-footprint addition, aimed squarely at blade players who have resisted moving into high MOI heads.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 1 cons
  • +Beautiful compact look that answers the blade player's smaller-footprint demand
  • +Short single sight line for a more precise look
  • +Body cutouts and parallel lines aid both alignment and weight spread
  • Gives up MOI relative to the bigger Spiders

For: Blade players struggling to accept a high MOI putter but attracted to the Spider platform

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Mixed

this one's been my least favorite putter out of all of them

A compact, forward-weighted Spider built as the bridge for lifelong blade players, though it was the fitter's least favorite of the lineup in testing.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons
  • +Forward weights and L-neck give a classic blade feel with some Spider forgiveness and MOI
  • +More compact head for players who find the Tour and Tour X too big
  • +Toe hang suits arced strokes
  • Fitter's least favorite putter of the group during testing
  • Minimal alignment aid, just a short dash on the leading edge

For: Players coming from a traditional blade who want a first step toward Spider tech.
