The best new putters for 2018 – tried and tested
Best putters 2018: TaylorMade
After the success of the Spider Tour Red it’s no surprise to see TaylorMade introduce a full line.
But there’s a lot more here than Spider Red’s with different hosels and alignments.
We’ve also got Spider Tour Black, Silver and the all-new Spider Arc putters which features a 3.65 in heavy stainless steel ring for more stability and an arced geometry cup design for better visual alignment.
“Putters are unique, perhaps the most unique of any club in the bag,” said Bill Price, senior director, product creation, putters and wedges.
“What we continue to experience inside the TaylorMade putting lab is that different players line up better with and without sightlines as well as different hosels.
“We’re now able to offer consumers the opportunity to experience the Spider Tour putter with the ability to match their eyesight with a variety of hosels and sightlines.”
There’s also the new Spider Mini which we have seen Dustin Johnson using which takes some of the stability from the Spider but mimics the dimensions of a classic blade with a T alignment aid.
SRP: £269
And there’s the TP Black Copper collection which includes the Soto which Rory McIlroy has been using this year.
More information can be found on the TaylorMade website.
