TaylorMade Spider Tour X Putter

Mallet Putter

The Spider Tour X is TaylorMade's answer for the player who wants Spider-level stability but strokes the ball with a bit of arc. Where the classic Spider suits a straight-back-straight-through motion, this 2025 version carries mid toe hang, so the face wants to rotate a touch through impact. If your putting stroke has a natural gate to it, this is the Spider that fits your hands instead of fighting them.

This is a high-MOI mallet, plain and simple. The perimeter weighting keeps the head steady when you catch a putt off-center, and off-center is where most three-putts start. You give up some of the shot-shaping feel a blade gives you, and you gain forgiveness on the 15-footers that used to slide past.

TaylorMade built this one for tour players first, then handed it to the rest of us. The alignment setup on top is there to get your eyes and the face pointing at the same spot, which sounds obvious until you realize how many putts miss because the golfer aimed the putter three degrees off without knowing it.

Design

The mid toe hang is the headline. It puts the Spider Tour X in between a face-balanced mallet and a heel-toe blade, which means it rewards a slight-to-moderate arc rather than punishing it. Golfers who tried older face-balanced Spiders and felt like they had to hold the face square all the way through will notice the difference right away. Up top you get an alignment aid to frame the ball and square the face at address. Combine that with the high moment of inertia from the mallet shape and perimeter weighting, and you have a putter that resists twisting on mishits and helps you start the ball on your line. It is a stability-first design that happens to accommodate a real stroke.

Who It's For

• You have a slight to moderate arc in your stroke and want a mallet that works with that motion, not against it.
• Off-center strikes are costing you distance control, and you want the forgiveness a high-MOI head gives you.
• Aim has been a weak spot, so the top-line alignment help matters to you.
• You liked the idea of a Spider but the face-balanced feel never clicked with your hands.
• You care more about starting putts on line and lag control than feeling every roll like you would with a blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Spider Tour X good for an arc putting stroke?

Yes. It has mid toe hang, which means the face releases naturally through impact. That suits a slight to moderate arc. If your stroke is dead straight back and through, a face-balanced putter would match you better, but for most golfers with some arc, this one fits.

What is the difference between the Spider Tour X and a regular Spider?

The big one is the toe hang. Many Spiders are face-balanced for straight strokes, while the Tour X carries mid toe hang for players who release the face. Both are high-MOI mallets built for forgiveness, but the Tour X is aimed at golfers with an arc.

Does the Spider Tour X have an alignment aid?

It does. There is an alignment feature on top to help you square the face and start the ball on your intended line. Paired with the stability of the mallet shape, it is built to take some of the guesswork out of aiming.

Is this putter forgiving on mishits?

That is its main job. The mallet head and perimeter weighting give it high MOI, so it resists twisting when you catch a putt toward the heel or toe. You lose less distance and hold your line better than you would with a blade on the same miss.

Who should not buy the Spider Tour X?

If you putt with a pure straight-back-straight-through stroke, the mid toe hang will feel like it wants to close on you, and a face-balanced mallet is the smarter pick. Feel players who want to work the ball and sense every roll may also prefer a blade over a mallet this size.
