TaylorMade Spider Tour V Putter

Mallet Putter

The Spider Tour V is TaylorMade's answer for golfers who lose strokes on the green because their putter face is doing whatever it wants at impact. This is a high-MOI mallet built on the same Spider bloodline that's won majors, and the 2026 version keeps the priorities simple: hold the line, resist twisting on off-center hits, and give your eyes something honest to aim at.

What you get is a putter that forgives. Catch a putt slightly toward the toe or heel and the ball still rolls close to your intended speed and direction, because the weight is pushed out to the corners of the head. That stability is the whole point of a mallet this size. You're trading the compact look of a blade for a head that fights rotation, and if your misses tend to leak left or right, that's a trade worth making.

The face-balanced setup tells you who this is really for. Set it flat on your finger and the face points straight to the sky, which means the head wants to stay square through a stroke that moves straight back and straight through. Golfers with an arc-heavy stroke may find it fights them a little, but for the straight-stroke crowd, this is a natural match.

Design

The design leans on perimeter weighting, with mass distributed toward the back and wings of the head to push the moment of inertia up. That's what keeps the face from twisting when you miss the sweet spot, and it's the reason mishits hold their speed better than they would on a smaller head. The face-balanced build reinforces the same goal, keeping the head square instead of relying on your hands to time the rotation. Up top there's a clear alignment aid to frame the ball and set your line before you take the putter back. On a mallet this size, the larger footprint gives that sightline room to work, so lining up a putt feels more deliberate than it does with a thin blade. The look is functional rather than flashy, and everything about the shape is there to make aiming and starting the ball on line easier.

Who It's For

• You have a straight-back, straight-through stroke and want a face-balanced head that stays square without hand manipulation.
• Your misses tend to spray left or right, so the high-MOI, forgiveness-first design keeps off-center putts closer to the hole.
• You aim better with a bold sightline and a bigger head to frame the ball at address.
• You're fine giving up the compact blade look in exchange for a putter that resists twisting on mishits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Spider Tour V face balanced or does it have toe hang?

It's face balanced. Rest the shaft on your finger and the face points straight up, which suits a stroke that moves straight back and straight through. If you have a strong arc in your stroke, a putter with toe hang usually fits that motion better.

Who should play the Spider Tour V instead of a blade?

Golfers who want maximum forgiveness and struggle with keeping the face square. The high-MOI mallet head resists twisting on off-center strikes, so your speed and line hold up better than they would on a small blade. If you prize feel and shot-shaping over stability, a blade may suit you more.

Does the Spider Tour V help with alignment?

Yes. It has an alignment aid on the crown to help you set your line and start the ball where you're aiming. The larger mallet footprint gives that sightline more room to frame the ball, which makes setup feel more repeatable.

What kind of stroke works best with the Spider Tour V?

A straight or minimal-arc stroke. The face-balanced design wants to stay square through impact, so golfers who move the putter straight back and through will get the most out of it. A heavy in-to-out arc will fight the balance a little.

Is the Spider Tour V good for high handicappers?

It's a strong option. The forgiveness and stability help most on the mishits that cost higher handicappers strokes, and the alignment aid takes some guesswork out of aiming. The face-balanced setup is also easier to keep square for players still building a consistent stroke.
