    Changed to a Spider X this year after trying my son’s Tour version. Game changer. Was aka ‘Harry Potter’s Wand’ as the accuracy vs my previous blade style putters was in a different league. Had to change my style a little, and grip much more loosely to allow it to do it’s thing. When I relax and believe in it, it’s really very forgiving.

    • @davidmeeks7449
      @davidmeeks7449 3 місяці тому

      Spider was much better for me than LAB. Better head shape, smooth roll, easier to use. I think I must need torque in my stroke! I sold my DF3 and went with Spider Tour. Make rate is up and it’s so easy to hit great putts with it.

  • @bluetoughguy
    @bluetoughguy Рік тому +3

    I had an old spyder putter as a rental when I was in Hawaii and was immediately enjoying it! I have an Odyssey 2 ball in the bag now and it would be hard to give it up since I absolutely love it, but if I did, it would more than likely be for a Spyder.

  • @mikedown3219
    @mikedown3219 Рік тому +1

    I switched to putting left-handed a couple of years back (still play right handed with rest of clubs). My putting improved a lot in so far as I didn’t constantly feel like I was going to pull my putts as I used to. However, there were still times when I made what I felt was a good strike but the ball did not seem to start on the line I was aiming. So I purchased a TaylorMade Spyder EX and it has transformed my putting. Best putters out there in my view.

  • @mikecoughlin4128
    @mikecoughlin4128 Рік тому +1

    I’ve used a Titelist Bullseye putter for decades except for a brief stint with a custom ordered, onset, weighted, blah, blah putter that was hot on the sweet spot and dead elsewhere. I gave it away. I would like to get a putter fitting someday for fun but I love the blade for its simple, non-distracting appearance and it’s super consistent action.

  • @_kdotp
    @_kdotp Рік тому +2

    Went from a Newport 2 to the Spider X Hydroblast circa 2021 and never looked back. Is it aesthetically pleasing over the blade, no. But you cannot deny the performance. Alignment is easier, its forgiving on mishits, and distance control is better. Reason why many pros have switched to a mallet style putter. Great vid as always Rick! Cheers🍻

  • @AlabamaGolfer
    @AlabamaGolfer Рік тому

    I bought my daughter a TM Spyder and it has helped her alignment tremendously. My wife had a similar problem when using an Anser style putter and has since changed to the Ping GLE3 Fetch putter, and the mallet style alignment aids have really helped her get her putts a lot closer to the hole.
    Personally, mallet putters and I don’t get along. Something about the large head makes it harder for me to keep it under control during the stroke. I much prefer a blade style putter (currently using Ping PLD Anser 2). They just feel much more natural to swing to me. Perhaps with more practice, I could make the transition, but the mallets have worked wonders for my wife and daughter.

  • @miguelaniceto7296

  • @hex45er
    @hex45er Рік тому +1

    Have gone from White Hot Blade to Spider FCG and now an Spider X. Have liked them all and swear alot of it is down to feel of pure roll face. The alignment on the Spiders is awesome. Really clear to get square with ball, putter feet and get it bang on line.

    • @KreationPhotography
      @KreationPhotography 8 місяців тому

      How does it compare with the FCG? Really considering the FCG as I am a blade lover and need the alignment of the spider, not too fussed with forgiveness... seems like the FCG is the perfect for me but open to other options

    Thanks for the honest reviews you give. I have watched your channel for a while now. I have a Sacks Parente putter I love. I would like to see you do a review on this putter. It's from a small company in California. Sacks Parente has a low balance point. It feels different from all other putters. I use the Sacks Parente 66!

    @DonaldSlater-f1r Рік тому

    The neck configuration made a big difference for me when I tested Red Spiders years ago, and the velcro holding the putter cover failed early on and the head cover disappeared soon after. It's still my every day putter despite a few missing bits of the red paint.

  • @biberdy

    Most expensive putter I’ve bought but well worth it. I went with goose neck version of the Tour. So stable as the CG is the furthest back for the range.
    Upgraded from a Tour Mini.
    Love it.

  • @chadode9048

    For me personally, anytime I go to a PGA superstore or Golf Galaxy...I putt a few with it - and it just feels so darn light. Almost like I cannot feel the head. Just me - sure many many people like that!

  • @dannyvernon1098
    @dannyvernon1098 Рік тому

    I bought an Orlimar F80 mallet putter last year that is essentially the same design as the putter Rick is using here. Also has a nice oversized grip. If you didn't know it wasn't a TaylorMade Spider putter, you'd think it was one. Good looking putter. Great feel, just the right amount of "heavy" without being overly heavy. Good roll off the face. I don't change putters very often, I find something I stick with it, and I think this will be in my bag for quite a while. And, all of that, for $40. I think I got a heck of a bargain there. I honestly believe I wouldn't be any better off with a $300 TaylorMade version.

  • @apedosmil1313

  • @bassmaestro1628
    @bassmaestro1628 Рік тому +1

    I have no idea how reasonable a request this is... but it would be cool to see you review the PING PLD custom putters/ process of fitting and customizing. Maybe going out to Scottsdale in person would be off the table, but they still offer an "online, remote" fitting process.

  • @golfbbqandwatches
    @golfbbqandwatches Рік тому

    Been gaming a Spider X Copper slant neck for a few years now and love it. I also have an SC Futura X5 but the Spider just feels better. Don’t know if it’s the slight toe hang or just that it rolls better but the Scotty has been benched for now. Been looking for an OG Spider Tour for a while, but they’re either stupid expensive or in pretty bad shape. As soon as I saw these being re-released I was excited. Gonna go demo them at my local when they hit the shelves. Favouring the Tour T3 so far, they are slick! Great video Rick!!

    Ive had the spider tour for the past few years. Got myself a LE Scotty 9.5 phantom earlier this year and my putting became extremely inconsistent. After a few months and only minor improvements I brought the spider back out for a round and it was night and day difference how much better I was with it. Never switching again.( I know the 9.5 is a great putter I'm just bad.)

    I went and hit all the models at my local Golf Galaxy and ended up ordering the Z3 with a slant neck. Face balanced putters got left for me but I tried them all out and yes...they went left of target. Then I tried the Tour and X version in a slant neck but the weight placement didn't really compliment my stroke. The V was ok but the Z....now that was sexy. holed 16/16 from 3, 6, 9, and 12'. Made me question why I'm not using a 34" putter when I'm 6'6". Hope it rolls just as well with my custom specs. Time will tell.

    Know it's logistically difficult, but it's a shame that almost all putter reviews don't put the focus on speed control rather then just trying to make short, and usually straight, putts. Speed control is much more important than making putts, and probably more influenced by the type of putter.
