TAYLORMADE GOLF COMPANY EXPANDS IDENTITY OF ACCLAIMED SPIDER FRANCHISE WITH THE ALL-NEW SPIDER GT FAMILY OF PUTTERS

Today, TaylorMade Golf Company introduces the Spider GT family with four new additions  to the acclaimed Spider franchise: Spider GT, Spider GT Notchback, Spider GT Rollback and  Spider GT Splitback. The four models set a new standard of performance and contemporary  construction, headlined by a Spider GT with its modern wing design and ultra-lightweight  top plate. 

“Innovation has long been the bloodline of the Spider franchise. From its optimized stability  frame to its countless victories on worldwide tours, every Spider putter is designed to deliver  pure performance. With Spider GT, we have created our most angular and most stable  Spider ever using a new modern wing construction similar to other high stability Spider  putters of the past. With the removal of weight from the center of Spider GT, we have  unlocked higher MOI and more stability from every angle.” 

-- Bill Price, Senior Director Product Creation, Putters & Wedge 

SPIDER GT 

The most striking feature of the Spider GT is the lightweight 145g top plate made from 6061  aluminum, which eliminates excess weight in the middle of the putter and carries a short  sightline for alignment. Combined with the ultralight top plate, a first of its kind open frame  multi-material design features two 90g steel side weights that push 82 percent of the  putter’s total weight to the perimeter. This creates extreme stability on off-center strikes. 

The Spider GT top plate is crafted from lightweight aluminum for both a premium look and  increased durability compared to paint or PVD finishes. The four anodized finishes for Spider  GT are silver, black, red and white for the Spider GT women’s model, which also features a  three-dot sightline for alignment. 

Spider GT’s contemporary design has the Pure Roll² co-molded insert for improved forward  roll and ball speed consistency across the face. Pure Roll² is a firmer insert, manufactured of  black TPU urethane with silver aluminum beams at a 45° angle designed to improve topspin  across the face. 

SPECIFICATIONS & AVAILABILITY  

Hosel options include single bend and short slant. The short slant design combines with  Spider GT’s extreme perimeter weighting to generate 21° of toe hang for a more vertical  angle, delivering a putter that best fits players with moderate face rotation in the putting  stroke. The CG has been moved closer to face for an improved face rotation. The single bend hosel and modern design create a face balanced putter that better fits players with a  straight-back and straight-through putting motion. 

Spider GT comes equipped with the TaylorMade Fluted Feel™ shaft and Super  Stroke GT 1.0 Black/Red grip. The white Womens offering, with light blue wings, comes at  33” and the Super Stroke GT 1.0 Light Blue/Gray grip. Additionally, the headcover for the  entire Spider GT family has been upgraded with a magnetic closure, offering a more  premium and durable headcover compared to Velcro. 

SPIDER GT NOTCHBACK 

Spider GT Notchback blends traditional design with contemporary construction to create a  time-honored shape. CG is positioned the farthest forward with Notchback’s to make face  rotation easier. 

Featuring a lightweight 6061 aluminum body combined with strategically placed 86g dual tungsten weights on the outside (heel and toe), Spider GT Notchback has premier  stability, forgiveness and distance control. Our records show that it produces the  highest MOI ever created by a mid-size mallet Spider. 

An extruded then machined aluminum head creates a stout section of material behind the  face insert for a confidence-inspiring strike along with superb sound. Both Spider GT  Notchback and Rollback feature a tri-sole design that allows golfers to properly set the  putter square on the ground without changing the face angle. 

SPECIFICATIONS & AVAILABILITY  

The short slant hosel combines with Spider GT Notchback’s extreme perimeter weighting to  generate 30° of toe hang for players with moderate face rotation in the putting stroke. The  single bend hosel creates a face-balanced putter that better fits a straight-back and straight 

through putting motion. It comes equipped with the TaylorMade Fluted Feel™ shaft and  Super Stroke GT 1.0 Black/Red grip. 

SPIDER GT ROLLBACK 

Spider GT Rollback is a classic half-moon design enhanced by a heavy tungsten rollbar for  added perimeter weighting and increased stability. Rollback creates confidence at address  with a raised, curved center section that is the same width of a golf ball. This makes it  easy to center the ball in the address position and three contrasting black sightlines  provide clear alignment with the hole. 

The Rollback top design has a lighter anterior with a 232g cap crafted  from anodized 6061 aluminum combined with our first 80g tungsten stability bar that wraps  around the back and side of the putter for added forgiveness and stability.
