Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks91
- Feel89
- Distance88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You like sensing the head turn through impact and want the least bulky Spider available.
You need maximum help on mishits, or you putt straight back and through.
Pros
- Real face rotation, more than any other head in the series
- The tidiest shape of the family, if a full Spider is too much
- Pace control that stood out even among putters this stable
- Immediate topspin rather than a skip at the start of the putt
Cons
- The least stable Spider on a miss, which is the price of the size
- Damping hides where you struck it, so the hands learn little
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentCarries less inertia than any other head here, yet a poor strike still ends up somewhere respectable.
Distance
ExcellentPace judgement was the standout, the ball leaving the face at a speed you can predict.
Workability
FairThirty-two degrees of hang and weight set forward, so you feel the head turn through the ball.
Feel
ExcellentA sharper strike than its siblings give, firm at contact without crossing into unpleasant.
Sound
ExcellentA reassuring knock, though the damping hides where on the face you caught it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingNo side arms, and the rear tapers down to nothing, which makes it the neatest outline on offer.
