Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with an arc and want a sleek, low-profile Spider that releases like a blade - forward weights for face rotation with the safety net of mallet stability.
You want maximum MOI and forgiveness, you putt with a dead-straight stroke and want a face-balanced mallet, or you want the latest release.
Pros
- A brand-new, sleek, low-profile shape that frames the ball
- Forward weights for face rotation and a blade-like feel
- A soft White Pure Roll insert with optimal forward roll
- One of the series' best fits for an arc stroke
Cons
- The lowest MOI of the Spider Tour series - weights sit forward
- Less forgiving than the larger Tour S and X
- A 2023 model - a generation behind the 2026 Spider Tours
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSolid but the lowest of the series - a lower MOI than some of the other Tour models because the weights sit very far forward, strategically weighted to maintain stability while promoting a blade-like feel. Forgiving for a low-profile blade-style mallet, but below the higher-MOI Tour S, X and base Tour.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the white TPU Pure Roll insert (Surlyn and aluminium) uses 45-degree grooves for optimal forward roll, consistent roll. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
FairAmong the most workable Spiders - the TSS weights are placed very far forward to encourage more face rotation and a blade-like feel, with a small-slant hosel for more toe hang alongside the face-balanced double bend. A blade-like Spider built to be released - one of the series' best arc fits.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and blade-like - the White TPU Pure Roll insert gives a soft strike with a blade-like feel from the forward weighting, a soft, responsive Spider Tour feel. Among the better putter feels - a soft, blade-like tour feel.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, muted note - the Spider Tour HYBRAR ECHO dampening gives a controlled acoustic, a quiet, dampened sound. A clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - a brand-new, sleeker shape with a smoother back and a wing-shaped, low-profile design that precisely frames the ball, an elegant setup with True Path alignment. Among the cleanest, most elegant Spiders.
