Left-Handed Choices
TaylorMade continues to provide the lefties some customized love with the MySpider GT program. The one distinction from the right-handed choices is that lefties solely get to decide on between the single-bend and short-slant necks.
Lack of Loft and Lie
Whereas TaylorMade gave clients the power to regulate loft and lie with the MySpider EX designer, the MySpider GT designer lacks these choices. Type of a bummer to not see these out there. Clearly, you possibly can nonetheless get your putter bent at your native store however It was good to have that adjustment as a manufacturing unit possibility.
Dave’s MySpider GT: Loxosceles reclusa
Brace your self. This putter accommodates no purple. The Purple People Eater MySpider EX has exhausted my purple putter ardour in the intervening time. Furthermore, the brand new mocha head coloration possibility made me consider a unique spider, the brown recluse. As soon as I had my new eight-legged muse, the colour scheme for this putter got here collectively properly.
Excluding the lie and loft adjustment loss, the bodily construct choices are as soon as once more expansive. The 4 necks ought to match a variety of strokes. Whereas I discover plumber’s necks on mallets visually irritating, there isn’t a query about that mixture’s efficacy for some golfers. The one lacking neck possibility is center-shafted. It looks like that may be a simple addition however possibly the projected units-sold numbers don’t justify its inclusion.
I do want there was a double-line alignment possibility like that discovered on the Spider Tour. The contours of the highest do serve an identical operate however are extra refined. It looks like the identical machine that cuts within the supplied sight strains may additionally minimize strains on the perimeters. Perhaps the sting makes this unattainable?
TaylorMade MySpider GT Interface Points: None
The TaylorMade MySpider GT builder is nearly too simple to make use of. When you’ve got impulse management points, like I do, watch out. You could possibly go from thought to buy in only a few minutes. It’s actually a click-click-done operation. I seen a little bit lag when the pictures up to date after an possibility was chosen however that was it.
Satisfaction and Worth
The price of the MySpider GT putter is $420. A inventory Spider GT will run you a penny lower than $350. So, it’s solely $70 to go full customized along with your Spider GT. It looks like a no brainer choice to go customized. When you’ve got already budgeted the $350 for a brand new putter, discover one other $70 within the sofa cushions and go customized. Clearly, a few of you might be tremendous with the inventory Spider GT specs however I wouldn’t let that cease you from letting your artist out in a customized design.
