TaylorMade Spider GT Putter

Mallet Putter

The Spider GT is TaylorMade's 2022 flagship mallet, and it carries forward everything the Spider line has been chasing since the Tour van days: a big, stable head that resists twisting on off-center hits. What makes this one worth a look is the multi-material build. TaylorMade pairs a lightweight aluminum core with a heavier steel frame and a tungsten-loaded rear, which pushes mass out to the corners and cranks up the MOI. In plain terms, mishits still roll close to where you aimed.

This version comes with mid toe hang, which tells you something important about who it fits. It's not fully face-balanced like some of the single-bend Spiders. That slight toe hang means the face wants to open and close a touch through the stroke, so it rewards a player with a mild arc rather than a dead-straight back-and-through motion. If your putter naturally rotates a little, this head works with you instead of against you.

Roll quality is the other piece. The white Pure Roll insert has 45-degree grooves that grab the ball and get it turning end over end faster off the face. You feel a soft, muted contact at impact, and putts tend to hold their line on longer lag attempts. It's a forgiving mallet that leans toward stability, not a nimble blade you can manipulate.

Design

The head is a study in moving weight where it counts. The aluminum center keeps the middle light, while the steel wings and rear sole weighting sit far from the face to raise resistance to twisting. That's the whole point of a high-MOI mallet, and the GT delivers it in a shape that still looks clean at address rather than cartoonish. Up top you get TaylorMade's True Path alignment, a contrasting channel running back from the face that frames the ball and helps you square up. The mid toe hang comes from the slant neck, which offsets just enough to suit a slight-arc stroke. Finish options ran to silver, red, and black across the release, so you can pick the look that reads best to your eye at setup.

Who It's For

• You putt with a slight to moderate arc and want a mallet that matches that rotation instead of fighting it.
• Off-center strikes are costing you distance control, and the high MOI here keeps those misses rolling closer to the hole.
• You line up putts using the head shape and want a clear alignment channel to frame the ball at address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Spider GT face-balanced or does it have toe hang?

This slant neck version has mid toe hang, so it fits a stroke with a slight to moderate arc. If you want a face-balanced Spider GT for a straight-back-straight-through stroke, look for the single bend model instead, which hangs closer to level.

What does the Pure Roll insert actually do?

It's a white TPU insert with grooves cut at 45 degrees. The grooves grip the ball at impact and get it rolling forward sooner, which cuts down on the skid and bounce you get right after you strike a putt. The side benefit is a softer, quieter feel off the face.

Is the Spider GT good for a high handicapper?

Yes. The high MOI from the multi-material build is exactly what helps a less consistent striker, since mishits toward the toe or heel twist the face less and hold their line better. The alignment channel also makes it easier to aim, which is where a lot of higher handicappers lose strokes.

How is the Spider GT different from the older Spider X?

The GT is the 2022 follow-up and refines the same high-MOI formula. TaylorMade reworked the weighting with the aluminum core and steel frame to push mass further to the perimeter, and it kept the Pure Roll insert and True Path alignment. Think of it as an evolution of the Spider X rather than a total redesign.

What length and neck options came with the Spider GT?

The GT was offered in a single bend neck for a more face-balanced feel and a small slant neck for the mid toe hang this model has. Standard putter lengths applied, and TaylorMade sold it in silver, red, and black finishes across the run.
