Spider Tour
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You want a tour-proven, high-MOI mid-mallet with a soft, dampened feel and full-length alignment, and you putt with a slight arc (29-degree slant) or straight stroke (double bend).
You putt with a strong arc, you want a budget option, or you want the latest release.
Pros
- A measured 5700 MOI - highly forgiving for a tour mid-mallet
- A HYBRAR ECHO damper for a soft, quiet, vibration-free strike
- A White Pure Roll insert with optimal forward roll
- Full-length True Path alignment and a classic tour shape
Cons
- A 29-degree slant or face-balanced double bend - limited strong-arc fit
- A premium tour price
- A 2023 model - a generation behind the latest Spider Tours
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - a measured MOI of 5700 and a 35mm CG in a tour mid-mallet, an excellent option in the MOI arena and a good fit for golfers transitioning from toe-hang blades into more forgiving MOI putters. Among the most forgiving tour mallets.
Distance
A standout - the White TPU Pure Roll insert is a blend of Surlyn and aluminium with grooves angled at 45 degrees for optimal forward roll, consistent roll characteristics. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
Workable for an MOI mallet - the small-slant hosel gives 29 degrees of toe hang for slight-arc strokes, while the double bend is face-balanced for straighter strokes. A high-MOI tour mid-mallet that still suits a slight arc via the 29-degree slant.
Feel
Soft and refined - a HYBRAR ECHO Damper behind the face (the same vibration-dampening as the Stealth irons) removes unwanted vibrations, a soft, smooth strike from the White TPU insert. Among the better putter feels - a soft, dampened tour feel.
Sound
A clean, muted note - the HYBRAR ECHO Damper is built to improve the sound at impact, a quiet, dampened acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a refined, muted note.
Looks at address
Among the best - the classic tour mid-mallet shape with True Path alignment running all the way across the top to help envision the line, a clean, tour-proven setup. Among the cleaner tour mallets.
