TaylorMade Spider X Putter

The "X" stands for "Extreme," highlighting the putter's increased weight and stability compared to previous Spider models. The design features a heavy 320-gram steel frame that pushes weight to the perimeter of the club. This specific weighting is designed to maximize Moment of Inertia (MOI).

The Spider X gained massive popularity after professional golfer Rory McIlroy began using it on the PGA Tour. Other prominent players, including Dustin Johnson, have also used various iterations of the Spider line. Its distinctive shape and alignment aids have made it a favorite among touring professionals.

The putter utilizes a newly designed "True Path" alignment system, replacing the white sight lines used on older models. It features a single white line painted down the center of a colored polymer insert to help golfers visualize the putting stroke. This system aims to improve accuracy and face control at impact.

The Spider X is definitively a mallet-style putter, characterized by its large, multi-material head. The mallet design allows engineers to distribute mass far back from the clubface to increase forgiveness. This makes the club highly resistant to twisting on off-center hits.
