Where it wins
- Forgiveness91
- Looks91
- Feel90
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
Your hands get busy and you want the steadiest, heaviest head in the range to quiet them.
Your stroke arcs, or you want a normal length and a compact shape.
Pros
- More resistance to twisting than any other head in the range
- Weight above the hands, which steadies a stroke prone to wandering
- A crown large enough to carry the full-length aiming path
- Damping tuned quieter than earlier Spiders
Cons
- Only sold long and counterweighted, so a standard build is not an option
- The largest head here, which will be too much for some eyes
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingThe biggest head and deepest weight of the series, with more inertia than anything else Spider makes.
Distance
ExcellentMass carried up in the grip evens out the swing, so pace from range stops being a guess.
Workability
ModestFace-balanced and counterweighted, built to remove face rotation rather than allow any.
Feel
Class-leadingThe same damped strike as the rest of the range, soft but with something behind it.
Sound
ExcellentA subdued knock, tuned quieter than the Spiders that came before it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingThe largest crown in the family, with the pale path marking running the full length of it.
