Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a slight arc and want a high-MOI mid-mallet in a classic half-moon shape - the 21-degree short slant - or a face-balanced single bend for a straight stroke.
You putt with a strong arc, you want maximum mallet MOI, or you want the latest release.
Pros
- Tremendous forgiveness in a traditional half-moon shape
- An 80g tungsten stability bar wrapping the back and side
- The same soft Pure Roll 2 insert as the Spider GT
- A raised, ball-width centre with three clear sightlines
Cons
- A 21-degree-toe-hang slant only fits straight-to-slight-arc strokes
- Less raw MOI than the full-size GT Max
- A 2022 model - behind the latest Spiders on recency
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional for the shape - tremendous forgiveness in a more traditionally shaped head via a 232g anodised-6061 cap and a first 80g tungsten stability bar that wraps around the back and side, with extreme perimeter weighting. Among the most forgiving mid-mallets, in a classic half-moon profile.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the Pure Roll 2 insert uses aluminium beams at a 45-degree angle to improve topspin across the face, the same insert as the Spider GT for a consistent roll. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestModerately workable - a short-slant hosel that combines with the perimeter weighting to generate 21 degrees of toe hang for moderate face rotation, and a single-bend hosel that is face-balanced for a straight-back, straight-through stroke. A high-MOI mid-mallet that suits a slight arc via the short slant.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and consistent - the Rollback uses the same Pure Roll 2 insert as the Spider GT, giving nearly identical feel, a soft, responsive strike. Among the better putter feels - a soft, grooved insert.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the Pure Roll 2 insert gives a soft impact, a dampened acoustic. A clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClean and confident - a classic half-moon design with a raised, curved centre section the same width as a golf ball and three contrasting black sightlines, a confidence-inspiring traditional shape. A clean, traditional mid-mallet.
