TaylorMade’s Spider X Aims to Help Golfers Keep Putts on Target
The new Spider X putter (Courtesy of TaylorMade)TaylorMade has unveiled a new putter, the Spider X, which uses a specific color scheme to improve a golfer’s ability to accurately align their swing. The face of the club also has a redesigned insert for better rolling properties, and the center of the putter head has a new carbon core for improved stability.
The key feature of the Spider X putter is True Path. TaylorMade studied 10,000 putts taken 12 feet from the pin to identify problems with golfers’ swings. The research found that they were striking the ball toward the toe of the putter (i.e. the tip of the head furthest from the shaft) 66 percent of the time.
