Pure Roll all the way... But I'm not prejudice in any way.

Yes, a few pros beyond Brooke used them (She's not a great example considering how crap her putting is)... Dustin Johnson used a couple of variants of the GT: https://www.golfwrx.com/677289/details-on-dustin-johnsons-pga-championship-putter-change/ Chad Ramey used the GT Notchback for quite a while, dropping it for a PXG mallet but I believe is back using the GT mallet in his bag today. I had the Notchback in the back for a bit, but I wasn't a fan of the lack of adjustability as well as the 'fluted feel' shaft was a flop for sure.

Just revisiting this thread and noticed my comment - Nice to be correct LOL...

Speaking of affairs, some of the greens at the courses I frequent in the great white north this summer have been playing quite slow as rain has been minimal and high-heat, humidity the norm in southwest Ontario (Courses are afraid of losing, burning out their greens)... My putting was good, but not great of late and decided to go back to my TP Reserve B29 blade and had great success for a week, somewhat less so in 'week 2' so I'm going back to my custom 'MyTP' Spider X starting today. What intrigued me were the comments in this thread on lag putting w/the mallets but the increased confidence when in close. I found my longer putting w/the blade was indeed really positive, sinkng a few very lengthy ones for exciting birds, but I began to suck from within 8-10'... Is it something akin to the characteristics between a mallet and a blade, or is it something else? Regardless, my 3 putt percentage has always been very low, with both blade and mallet, but if I had to choose between making the odd 25-35' putt, or making 8-10' putts consistently every time, I would choose the latter without question...

Well, down to Coody only now, Olesen was sporting a Logan blade this week at the 3M…

Aren’t we all suckers for what the pros use? That’s why they’re paid the big bucks!!

Yes, the TSS weights are easily acquired and easy to change, experiment, etc.

Here is the weight table for the Spider Tour Series... To the point of weight, the 35" stock are 1g aside - Far too light. The 34" comes stock w/6g aside. My 34.5" gamer has custom TSS weighting at 11g aside, which for me are perfect.

I’ve said it often, I LOVE the look of a blade and will occasionally bring mine out for a different look, etc. In a recent ‘switch period’, my blade performance was good, but even with custom weighting to bring significantly more mass and ostensibly increased MOI, they simply don’t have the forgiveness and inherent consistency of a mallet. Can’t remember what tour pro said this recently, but thought he described it best - ‘Using a blade is akin to driving a Porsche, a mallet an SUV’…

Not matter what anyone says, all the fuss about zero torque, the naysayers about the Spider's Pure Roll inserts, etc. etc. there is no question these putters are amongst the best ever. Four amongst the Open's Top 10 played Spider X, including Champion Golfer of the year Scheffler - Others such as McIlroy, Gotterup and MacIntyre also gamed it... Results speak for themselves, and this Taylormade flat stick will go down in history as amongst the best of the best. I personally had 3 birds today with 'MySpider' during my regular Sunday morning round, and it's a winner for us amateurs as well!
