A putter is the most used club in the bag, but how many of us have actually had a proper fitting to find out which one we should be using?
The reality is, most of us see a shape we like the look of in a pro shop, or in our mates bags, and end up putting something off-the-rack in play.
This becomes an issue when it doesn’t allow us to get into the correct posture. Setting up in the wrong way can lead to your eye line being out of place and your shoulders unable to rock in a pendulum motion. The result of this? Excess hand actions to compensate and some seriously inconsistent putting.
MySpider GT putter review: First impressions
Unlike many golfers I am a stickler for getting all my clubs custom fit. Generally I find this a pretty straight forward process at my local golf club or going to a brand-specific custom fitting centre. But, with putters it isn’t always that simple.
Finding a putter in the right length, that has the hosel type you like and a club head shape that suits your eye is nearly impossible. Then add in getting the right alignment features to suit you and it’s virtually impossible.
In comes the MySpider GT process, a custom portal on the TaylorMade website where you can design a Spider GT putter to your exact specifications. Seriously, the amount of options are wild. If the Spider GT model isn’t to your liking, there are also numerous other putter models you can customise in the same way.

The first two options, are some of the most important in terms of putting performance. Do you have the right hosel type that matches up to the arc of your stroke? Do you have an alignment feature that lets you aim correctly?
