Spider Tour X Proto

I am really surprised on how great it feels.  I wasn’t sure if this was going to have that great milled feel by the way it was designed.  By far the best feeling spider I have ever putted with (not a fan of pure roll inserts at all).
 

The putter is way too short for me.  Originally, I was not planning on extending it (I play my putters @38 inches) since I have 4 new putters I’ve been trying to work with for my 2024 bag.  This looks and feels so good that I’m actually contemplating on extending it now.  
 

I can see why SS put this in the bag.  It feels like a fine milled blade putter but gives you the confidence of a mallet style.  I’m super glad I bought but now I need to figure out what I want to do.  Extend it or not, that’s the question🤦

Well I like to read that.  My shipping ETA moved from Tuesday the 14th to tomorrow.  I tee off at 12:30 tomorrow and if it actually does arrive before I leave, it’s going for a ride and will be the only putter I take.  I’m not crossing my fingers.

@TheMoneyShot I would buy a New KBS Shaft, remove the original grip shaft together, install new KBS Shaft and then cut to your length and put new grip on, That way if you do ever decide to sell it it should be more valuable with original shaft intact.

I missed out on these and love it, any ideas if they will release more?

Not sure they will.  My brother wants one now too and no more are available online.  They released a few more yesterday but none today.  Not sure if more will be released or not?

Is the face SS or aluminum?

When I asked TM they said SS but who really knows?  I don’t think it was posted in any of their marketing materials either.

Put a magnet to it.

That won’t really help unless it’s carbon?

A Magnet does stick to it, so we can say for sure it's not aluminum

Magnet doesn’t stick onto aluminum

If anyone decides to part with theirs let me know. Would love to have one.

Same.  My brother wants one now but he doesn’t want to pay eBay prices…

Or stainless either. Isn’t that what the spider is

That’s news to me that magnet doesn’t stick onto steel.

Yeah the flippers drive me nuts. I mean I get it. It just sucks for those that actually would love to have one and use.

That’s why I wish more oems would do what Odyssey did for the JB release.  Take pre-orders and make as many as they can sell.  Keeps everyone happy and the flippers at bay.  
 

The only downside to that (IMO) is that you may have to wait a longer time to receive the club.

Beats me man. 
They don’t stick on my stainless Camerons.  
 

Seems to be sticking to the spider face though.

Glad I ended up keeping my order. Have always like the Spider but always hesitant to try anything outside of preferred Anser-2 heads. This was the almost the perfect excuse to give a mallet a try. Really wish it would of been a fully milled one piece face and neck, ah well. This looks great in hand, hope the finish holds up. Heading to my shop tomorrow to throw an Accra Sync shaft have it built to my gamming length and cap her off with a P58.

[MerryTex]

Y'all making me regret not ordering lol

[swoosh21]

Quality looks really nice. 

[Pnwpingi210]

If there is demand, they will be back.

 

see jailbird.

Just left the putting green with mine. Eerily similar feel to my Scotty Phantom and Oslo.  Fit finish are great (best I’ve ever seen in the spider line), lines up well, really good swingweight.

 

Just can’t justify keeping it when it would slide into the fourth spot of my collection and I need another putter like I need a black eye.
 

Going on the BST, save your flipper comments please 😂 🐬
