Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a forgiving high-MOI mid-mallet with standout 'Y'-shaped alignment, in a premium copper colourway, and you putt face-balanced (double bend) or with a slight arc (short slant).
You want the softest feel, you putt with a strong arc, or you want the latest release.
Pros
- A high-MOI mid-mallet with a 320g stability frame
- A 'Y'-shaped True Path sightline for high-contrast alignment
- A Pure Roll insert that gets the ball rolling quicker
- A premium copper finish over the standard Spider X head
Cons
- A firmer feel than the later HYBRAR-damped Spiders
- A short slant (3/4 offset) only - no strong-arc fit
- A 2020 model - several generations behind the latest Spiders
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - a high-MOI mid-sized mallet, the 15g carbon core (versus 79g in the old model) freeing weight to grow the stability frame from 247g to 320g, the perimeter weighting adding forgiveness. Among the more forgiving mid-mallets - a high-MOI design that helped shift the paradigm toward MOI putters.
Distance
ExcellentStrong - the Pure Roll insert integrates aluminium into the Surlyn with grooves set at 45 degrees to get the ball rolling quicker, a consistent roll. A dependable distance putter.
Workability
ModestModerately workable - a choice of hosels: a double bend for a face-balanced putter, or a short slant with 3/4 offset for toe hang if you have a slight arc. A high-MOI mid-mallet that suits a slight arc via the short slant.
Feel
ExcellentSolid and clean - the Pure Roll insert integrates aluminium into the Surlyn for a better feel than previous inserts, a solid, responsive strike. A solid mid-mallet feel - firmer than the later HYBRAR-damped Spiders.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, muted note - the Pure Roll insert gives a better sound than previous inserts, a controlled acoustic. A clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - the True Path 'Y'-shaped sightline (developed with Indiana University optical specialists) gives a high-contrast alignment aid, the head 5% smaller for a more pleasing look, the copper colourway premium. Among the cleaner mid-mallets - the copper finish adds a premium look.
