Spider Tour Double Bend
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a straight-back-straight-through stroke and want a tour-proven, high-MOI mallet with a soft, dampened feel, true roll and the latest torched finish.
You putt with an arc and need toe hang, you want a budget option, or you want a compact head.
Pros
- Roughly 5,000-plus MOI - exceptional stability and forgiveness
- A HYBAR echo damper for a soft, quiet, vibration-free strike
- A Pure Roll insert that rolls the ball true to the line
- A new torched finish on the Golf Digest 2026 Hot List
Cons
- The double bend is face-balanced - no toe hang for arc putters
- A premium tour price
- A large mallet head some players find too boxy
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - the epitome of high-MOI performance, delivering stability, consistency and forgiveness, the roughly 5,000-plus MOI head minimising distance loss on heel and toe strikes. Among the most forgiving tour mallets.
Distance
A standout - the Pure Roll insert (a Surlyn-and-aluminium blend with 45-degree grooves) rolls the ball true to the line, a consistent dispersion. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
Built for a straight stroke - the Double Bend neck is face-balanced and eliminates toe hang, built for golfers with a straight-back-straight-through stroke. Very limited arc-fit - the double bend removes toe hang entirely.
Feel
Soft and refined - HYBAR echo dampening positioned behind the face dampens unwanted vibrations, a soft, smooth strike from the Pure Roll insert. Among the better putter feels - a soft, dampened tour feel.
Sound
A clean, muted note - the HYBAR echo dampening helps 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 Spider Tour earned a place on the Golf Digest 2026 Hot List, the new torched PVD finish bringing a fresh look to the Tour line, with TruePath alignment and a clean shape. Among the cleanest tour mallets - a premium torched finish.
