Taylormade Spider Tour Putters

[cmb71]

I have not seen the answer to this question:

 

Can you only buy additional weights for the DJ or Jason Tour spider from eBay or can you buy from an online golf store?

 

What is the size of the weights and price? Is there a weight kit?

 

Any of the TM MWT weights will work... think R7 weights and beyond. Those old TM weights are exactly like the ones in these putters.

@ nsxguy;

It's all good man. Hey what can I say, I'm old and cranky and there are some really offensive people here who are not very nice. Sorry ;-)

I used to have Ping Zings, they're great irons, looking to pick up a set of BeCu Zings, and ugly in a way.

Hey, I thought we kissed and made up!

LOL What did I do?

I assumed I was the really offensive person :)

Is there a difference in sound or feel between the tour platinum vs the black DJ version? Someone mentioned a hollow sound in platinum version. If you have hit both, can you comment if you think that applies to both models?

[PingPoncho]

If you have the DJ model does increasing the head weight make the putter feel more stable and solid? What size weights did you add?

Technically speaking the more weight added the higher the MOI gets

Made the switch to a Spider Tour Black recently from a GOLO and I couldn't be happier. Putter is so easy to roll and start on line. Can see why there has been so much buzz around this putter.

Yes, a big difference. Platinum definitely has a hollow sound and different feel from the DJ.

It is a bit simplistic to say that the putter becomes "more stable and solid" with more weight. Putter weight is personal and depends on feel. Too heavy, and you might find you hit the ball too short, or maybe you compensate and hit it too long.

 

Many of us have tried heavier weights, and personally, and anecdotally from what I have gathered from other posters, a lot of us have gone back to stock. It feels good at the stock headweight. I would maybe go with two 4g weights instead of 2g weights, but that is probably as high as I would go. 6g or 8g weights would be in the realm of possibility. You would need to try it out yourself to see what feels good to you.

Not at all. We're good. We shouldn't assume, myself included.

I added two 6 gram weights to my DJ black one and it makes a world of difference in terms of stability. I actually own 2 of the black, DJ one. I took the "back up" out, with 2 gram weights, and it felt like a toothpick compared to the one with 6 gram weights.

 

Also, I just send a red Jason Day one to NorCal putters to have it refinished (I hate red but wanted to give the softer insert a whirl). I'll try to post pictures when I get it back in a week or so. Really excited to see what NorCal can do. He's unbelievable.

Interesting idea on the red JD. I look forward to seeing your pics.

Thanks, man! I just CANNOT stand the color red, in general. I love the DJ one, but, I have rolled the red and the insert feels great...a putter can't be too soft in my mind....NorCal is excited to be working on it as he usually does Scottys, Pings, etc. Really excited to see how it turns out. The guy at NorCal is beyond talented. It will be black with some purple (my favorite color) but is somewhat of a surprise.

I really liked the DJ I had and thought it would be my gamer. This is just my opinion but they seem to like staying stock as far as weights. I added several different weights but on long putts I just could not get it to the hole. I think the insert was the problem for me. They are great putters for sure.

Now that it's gone I have been back to my blades but now they don't feel right. So I found an NOS 2010 SC Squareback 2 and used it today for the first time. I had one in the past and when I trimmed the herd it was the last to go. I opened the box today and I was amazed at the condition. I tried one putt on my Big Moss green and sunk it in the half hole. I think that was a sign. ;-) I had a VA League game today and shot a 39 with 13 putts. I did not even have time to try it out on the practice green. The DJ ruined me for blades but now I am a mallet guy. Maybe a honeymoon period but I sunk some tough putts today like they were nothing special. It's in the bag for now.

What grips are you guys using with these? I just swapped the stock win midsize for the flatso 2 been having trouble pulling putts. I'm wondering if I'm putting poorly or just a bad fit for the slight toe hang putter

[rjp322]

Has anyone tried to bend one of these? I really want this putter but I bend all my putters crazy flat. I'm talking like 10* flat. Is this possible?

I've got a SS GT Tour on mine with the 50g counter weight. I can't believe how much I'm in love with that setup.

Same exact set up for me and I'm loving it. Best putter I have ever owned.

I have 4 of them between three black and one red. I've had them ALL bent as they came very varied in terms of lies and loft. They were as different as 2 degrees on loft and 3 on lie angle. Has second swing bend all of them to be indentical at my specs. No problems as all. Just be careful of course!

I gotta ask why you have 4 of the same putter? :D

The putter collection grows again.... Just picked up a DJ 35" off the BST and couldn't be more excited to try it out after hearing all the hype. Hope mind sits square :x

one for playing with thats usually 'on fire'

one that's on the naughty step

one that I can sell as 'mint' when the 'on fire' one goes out.

one thats there to show the rest they are replaceable if they dont behave.

[bfizzy]

I have the stock 35 in DJ version, really like the putter but it is too long for me as I have long arms....well more like I'm vertically challenged. If I cut the putter down to 33in, all else equal, how much weight would I have to add to keep it at the same SW?

Makes perfect sense to me. :D

I like the way you think. May have to adopt these rules myself... thanks!

IMO the best for me would be to buy the jd red and have it painted black. I hate the grey looking insert on the black and the harder feel but also dislike the red on the jd but love the inset and it happens to be black lol.

I thought about doing that actually. I'm just having a hard time sending a brand new $300 in for a paint job.

Looking forward to seeing pics once finished.

Looking to buy the JD version of this putter but really want a sight line on mine. I've seen other threads where people have used pinstriping/electrical tape but I want something more permanent. Has anyone sent their putter to someone like Continental to have a line milled??

Continental told me that they cannot mill a sight line due to the plastic. I sent them a JD to have painted and a pin stripe sight line added. They paint clear coat over the top of the sight line, thus making it permanent. I have had them do this with a 2 ball putter and it looks awesome. I'll post pictures when I get it back next week.

[Green_in_Reg]

I posted this in another thread, but here are some pics of my DIY sight line that I sprayed clear coat over the top to make it permanent.
