The new TaylorMade Spider ZT Long features a zero torque design, a byproduct of the putter's directly-bored, CG-centered shaft positioning. Whereas traditional putters are inherently prone to rotating, this perfectly balanced setup keeps the head square to the putter's path throughout the stroke, making it dramatically easier to return the face to square at impact. For golfers, this means a markedly more consistent and accurate starting direction of each putt without requiring a change in your mechanics or stroke. Combine the zero torque design with the Spider's stability-maximizing shape and multi-material construction, which prevents the face from twisting offline on mishits, and TaylorMade's roll-enhancing Pure Roll insert, and the result is a measurable increase in makes and two-putts.
TaylorMade's engineers worked tirelessly to improve accuracy across the board, as evidenced by the ZT's unique sole shaping and new premium alignment system. By accommodating different player types and ball positions, the innovative sole allows all player types to comfortably find a repeatable and consistent stroke. The milled True Path alignment system, developed based on Tour feedback, perfectly frames the ball at the address position, simplifying aim and providing a helpful sweet spot reference point.
Many players, professionals included, have found renewed success on the greens using a long putter. Their added weight and longer shaft help eliminate the hands and engage the larger muscles, promoting a smoother tempo and a more consistent pendulum stroke.
TaylorMade Spider ZT Long Putter Features:
Low torque design, made possible by a shaft bored directly at the center of gravity with onset behind the face and 1° of built-in shaft lean, eliminates twisting, keeping the face square to the target throughout the stroke for increased accuracy and consistency
Multi-material construction, including high-density stainless steel and low-density aerospace-grade aluminum, yields tremendous MOI, stability, and forgiveness
New and improved sole shaping and curvature, specifically designed to work with the unique hosel configuration, accommodate different setups and ball positions to help golfers find a consistent and repeatable stroke
Pure Roll insert made from Surlyn and aluminum with 45° grooves produces optimal forward roll as well as better sound and a softer feel
Milled True Path alignment technology with ball-width milled lines helps index the center of the face and aids with alignment
For the golfer who loves the look, feel and forgiveness of a TaylorMade Spider putter, but also wants to try a zero-torque putter, TaylorMade has a new offering that will satisfy both wants. The all-new Spider ZT brings the great features and benefits of TaylorMade’s Spider putter, combined with zero torque principles.
