Description

TaylorMade returns to the core shape of its Spider from five years ago, one of the most successful versions of the mallet brand that has become an icon. What’s intriguing is from that base model, the company is launching a collection of five versions that share the same concepts of high stability with clear alignment and a face with grooves to enhance initial roll. Helped by research in recent years that shows how different players respond to center-of-gravity depth, each model pushes weight selectively back or forward.

• These square-ish, wireframe mallets push weight to the heel, toe and perimeter to provide stability.
• The CG depths range from 27 millimeters on the Tour V to 38 millimeters back on the Tour S for different stroke types.
• Grooved Surlyn face insert improves initial roll, and a thermoplastic rubber behind the face improves feel.
• Five models (Spider Tour, Spider Tour X, Spider Tour Z, Spider Tour V, Spider Tour S counterbalanced); double bend and slant neck hosels; head weight: 348-380 grams; lengths: 33, 34, 35, 38 inches; loft: 3 degrees
