The takeaway

Maximum-forgiveness mallet that strokes itself.

They agree

  • +Zero torque keeps face square
  • +Huge, stable, confidence-building platform
  • +Almost strokes the putt for you

The knocks

  • −Massive footprint won't suit every eye
  • −Exaggerates aim and face-angle tendencies

Buy it ifyou want as much putting help as possible

Skip it ifyou open and close the face or dislike big heads

TrottieGolf

Tour-level club builder

Loved it

“This one is the one that gives you the most performance.”

The highest MOI option in the fitting and the one he says gives the player the most performance if he's buying a new putter.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons
  • +Highest MOI of the putters tested, hardest to twist on off-center strikes
  • +Face balanced and ultra stable, so pace control holds up
  • +Longer counterbalanced build matched the grip weight and swing weight of the player's new set
  • −Larger footprint than the smaller Max head and than the player's existing putter
  • −Felt light to him in stock form, he'd likely go heavier on the weights

For: Players whose scoring problem is pace control rather than start line, especially those who like a counterbalanced feel.

2nd Swing Golf

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Liked it

“if I can miss with something this big then I'm really struggling”

A much bigger zero-torque Spider that stacks maximum forgiveness and confidence on the ZT platform, reminiscent of an original L.A.B. 2.1 at address.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons
  • +Night-and-day bigger head adds confidence without blade intimidation
  • +Zero torque keeps the face square to the path
  • +Clean all-black face with inverted colors and no visible loft distraction
  • −Felt lighter in swing weight than the standard ZT to this tester
  • −Very large footprint is a lot to look at
  • −Zero torque exaggerates aim tendencies and won't suit players who open and close the face

For: Golfers who want as much help and confidence from the putter as they can possibly get

James Robinson Golf

Mid-handicap everyman reviews

Mixed

“You can't really miss stroke this. It just kind of strokes for you”

A massive zero-torque mallet that almost strokes the putt for you, but the sheer size didn't suit him and he missed both ways with it.

+ the facts · 2 pros · 2 cons
  • +Huge stable platform that basically strokes itself
  • +Forward-press style grip done properly, like L.A.B.
  • −Head size is off-putting, didn't suit his eye
  • −He missed left and right with it where the other shapes were fine

For: Golfers who really struggle on the greens and want maximum help
