Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel90
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want to move from a blade to a mallet without giving up a compact look and blade-like feel - a 5000-MOI head with a 30-degree slant for a slight arc or a face-balanced double bend.
You want maximum MOI and head size, you putt with a strong arc, or you want the latest release.
Pros
- 5000 MOI stability in a compact, blade-friendly shape
- A very pleasing soft feel with vibration killed by the HYBRAR damper
- A Pure Roll insert with optimal forward roll
- Tour-validated - the model behind a 2025 Masters win
Cons
- Less forgiving than the larger Tour S - a compact head
- A 30-degree slant or face-balanced double bend - no strong-arc fit
- A 2023 model - a generation behind the 2026 Spider Tours
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional for the size - 5000 MOI for unmatched stability in a compact head, stable on mis-hits despite the smaller shape. Among the more forgiving compact mallets, though below the larger Tour S and base Tour - the blade-converter of the line.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the white TPU Pure Roll insert (Surlyn and aluminium) uses 45-degree down-angled grooves for optimal forward roll, consistent roll. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
FairWorkable for an MOI mallet - the short-slant hosel gives 30 degrees of toe hang to suit players with rotation or who like the head releasing through impact, while the double bend is face-balanced; the slightly forward CG gives a more blade-like feel. A compact Spider that an arc putter can release.
Feel
Class-leadingSoft and refined - a very pleasing soft feel, with a HYBRAR ECHO Damper that virtually eliminates vibration, the slightly forward CG giving a more blade-like feel. Among the better putter feels - a soft, refined, blade-like tour feel.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, tuned note - the HYBRAR ECHO chamber aids a subtle 'tock' sound nicely tuned to the feel, a controlled acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a refined, tuned note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - a beautifully put-together model and one of the best TaylorMade putters, made famous on tour, with a compact, clean tour shape and True Path alignment. Among the cleanest tour mallets.
