Taylormade Spider Tour Putters

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.

 

I had a hard time with that too, but glad I did it. While the white isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's so easy for me to line up it feels like cheating.

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.

 

Did you send this to Continental??? Or was it a DIY? Just looking for clarification. It's such an awesome job. Would love a JD version with a sight line like that. Hell, only reason I have the platinum version is because it had a sight line.

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 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

 

Ha! Very fair question, my friend! I catch a LOT of crap from my buddies about this....essentially, this putter has been a holy grail for me since 2009 when the original itsy bitsy was released. I went cold with it in 2010, and, gave it to a buddy. For 6 years I regretted that.....the following "versions" of the spiders were never the same...bigger footprints, weird lines, etc.

 

So, when the DJ and Day finally released, I said....NEVER AGAIN will I be without this putter. So, they are "backups" if you will in case one gets stolen, lost or something. It's crazy, I know, but, this putter changed my game, taught me that I'm a mallet guy and I've never putted better with any other mallet.

 

Also, this may sound insane, but, the inserts are soft (even the DJ)....over time, sand and debris really beats down the grooves. My old Itsy had "Snedeker-like" wear on the face. So, there's that, too.

 

But, it's ridiculous, I know :). I'm a lawyer, but, this isn't a case I expect to win :) I'm an idiot.

 

Also, NorCal putters sent me pictures of my re-finished red one last night....it's unreal. Check NorCal Putters Instagram later today....it should be up there.....otherwise, I'll try to figure out how to post pics....I think you guys will think it's pretty wild!

Just ordered a DJ tour black one from golf town, they r having a 15% sale this weekend if anyone in Canada is looking for anything. They didn't have any of the JD tour red. It was a tough decision between the Toulon Indianapolis. I haven't tried or seen the Toulon in person & the fact that the spider was $120 cheaper made the decision a bit easier

I did the black myself. I am having Continental paint a red (JD version) orange and add a sight line. It is really not that tough to do yourself though.

It's definitely interesting, that's for sure... Hope you enjoy it--that's all that matters.

 

Here is my plain old Tour Red, just regripped with a GTR 1.0. It's like SS made this color grip just for this Tour Red. Anyway, this grip elevates the Tour Red in my eyes, and I think I'll give it a go in the bag this weekend. Been playing the Tour Black with Flatso 1.0.

Been playing the tour black for a few months but after my buddy got the tour red, and playing a round with it, I'm going to return the black for the red I think. Love how the red feels and I personally like how the red stands out more when I line up putts vs the black.

agreed man! A guy just has to like looking at it. Yours is the best I've see the red look - looks awesome with the grip!!

 

It's funny seeing Sergio with the red head, Euro Ryder Cup grip color, etc. He could care less about the colors. I think it's funny that a hack like me cares more about my putter "matching" than the Masters Champion! I'm such a dork.

All good man, I appreciate that, honestly! It's polarizing for sure! I'm a huge dork, was born on Halloween and love this putter, so, I love when I can associate stuff with the spider, etc.

I might be in the same boat as you. I had bought both the black and red, but really went right with the black, not even unwrapping the red in case I decided to return it. As I posted above, I just decided to unwrap my red and regripped it with the black/red GTR 1.0. I also swapped in 4g weights for the 2g weights.

 

I was very impressed with my inaugural round with the red today. Like you, I really loved the feel of the red, while finding it easier to line up and contrasting with the green. GTR 1.0 was great with it. I made a lot of nice putts today. Having played both the black and red now, I think I give the nod to the red (like, an A vs A-, so close). Another round tomorrow, so we'll see if it keeps it going.

Yep, the red has the Suryln insert and makes it a little softer off the face with a more muted sound. I wanted the red really bad but I don't do well with softer inserts and I like an audible click off my face. Been very, very pleased with the 80/20 insert and the overall play out of my Spider.

 

 

So the Spider Tour Red had a softer insert with a more muted sound right?

 

Is that the only difference? Besides color and grip..

I'm the same way, and surprised that so many people prefer the red over the black. The jday surylin insert feels like an odyssey white hot putter to me, and lacks feedback. The dj model has some feedback and is a smooth transition from a stainless steel putter such as a Scotty Cameron.

I grabbed a black model and didn't like the insert at all because I've played the white hot insert for years. Red is much better to me and as a result sold the black and have a red coming.
