The Hottest Putter in Golf - The Spider |
| July 4 |
| This putter is the hottest putter on Tour these days. It just went into Charles Howell΄s bag this week in addition to the other 25 players already using the Spider as their putter of choice.
TaylorMade engineers focused on giving the Monza Spider increased stability and forgiveness because poor impact quality is so frequently the cause of poor putting among all levels of golfers. Even tour professionals frequently miss putts because they fail to hit the ball with the center of the clubface. With most putters, when impact is made toward the toe or heel, the head twists and the ball rolls off-line and finishes short of the target. Off-center hits also impart different types of spin compared to center-hits, contributing to inconsistent distance and direction.
To increase Monza Spider΄s forgiveness, TaylorMade engineers had to increase its moment of inertia (MOI). They found three key ways to accomplish that:
A steel wire-frame head construction similar to that used in the Monza Corza™, which allows them to position increased weight at the perimeter, adding stability on mis-hits that helps the putterhead resist twisting when impact is made toward the heel or toe.
A light and strong aluminum core that allows more weight to be positioned on the perimeter, increasing MOI.
Monza Spider΄s "wings," into which Movable Weight Technology™ (MWT®) cartridges are inserted, allow substantial weight to be concentrated in areas far from the face, helping to move the center of gravity (CG) rearward, which increases MOI and stability. Of course, another benefit of the Monza Spider΄s MWT is that it also gives players the option to customize its feel by changing the weights to make the putterhead heavier or lighter and/or to change the putter΄s balance.
Dynamic testing of the Monza Spider΄s performance on mis-hits indicates that, compared to mis-hit performance of competitive high-MOI putters, Monza Spider delivers dramatically better results when impact is made away from the center of the clubface toward the heel or toe. Specifically, Monza Spider΄s high MOI helps it to deliver extremely consistent distance results on off-center hits, so that instead of coming up short, oftentimes the ball reaches the hole.

The TOUR360 LTD, which melds advanced technologies with luxurious materials to create an entirely new category of golf shoe.

I
recently was examining swing sequences of some of the greatest
players in history. Knowing that some of these players favored
a draw as their standard shot while others preferred a fade,
I sought to identify swing features within each group that
would explain their respective ball-flight tendencies. Something
profound emerged that I think will benefit all golfers,
especially those cursed with a wicked slice.
