Spider Goes Zero Torque: TaylorMade Introduces Spider ZT Putters

CARLSBAD, Calif. (May 30, 2025) – TaylorMade Golf Company has a longstanding reputation as a premier manufacturer of high-MOI putters with the Spider family dating back to 2008. The latest addition, Spider Zero Torque (ZT), is designed to give golfers of all abilities increased stability and consistency on the greens through its high-MOI design that utilizes multi-material construction, onset hosel configuration, extreme perimeter weighting, and precise CG placement.

“Spider putters - renowned for their stability, alignment, and roll - have been reengineered in the Spider ZT to feature a toe-up, or ‘face-forward' balance configuration. This design minimizes torque and reduces the need for hand manipulation, promoting a more consistent stroke. As a result, the putter face remains squarer to the target line throughout the putting motion, enhancing directional control and building confidence at address and through impact.” - Andrew Oldknow, Director of Product Category, Product Creation

Available in standard, counterbalance and long lengths, Spider ZT putters will be available for preorder on May 30 and available in stores starting June 5. Spider ZT putters come in standard length (34” RH Only and 35”) will be priced at $999.99 NZ; counterbalance putters (36” and 38”) (RH Only) at $1049.99 NZ; and long putters (46”) (RH Only) at $1099.99 NZ.

Extensive PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour testing has already occurred in 2025. Spider ZT putters already have one win on the PGA TOUR and Team TaylorMade athlete Haeran Ryu used a Spider ZT in her win at the LPGA Tour’s Black Desert Championship.

HIGH-MOI TOE-UP DESIGN

Spider ZT putters utilize 100% milled multi-material construction featuring high-density 303 stainless steel in the face and low-density 6061 aluminum in the back. Extreme perimeter weighting also enhances the putters’ high-MOI and enhanced stability dynamics. Three strategically placed TSS weights allowed TaylorMade engineers to triangulate CG properties to maintain a toe-up position.

LOW-TORQUE SHAFT ORIENTATION

When designing Spider ZT, TaylorMade engineers positioned the CG 25mm behind the face. This allowed them to bore the shaft directly in line with the CG with 1° of onset. This orientation not only reduces the amount of face twisting that occurs during the stroke, it also presets the shaft in a forward leaning position at address and eliminates the propensity for golfers to add loft at impact. The result is consistent end-over-end roll that enhances distance control and allows putts to stay online.

IMPROVED SOLE CAMBER

Spider ZT has a heel-to-toe cambered sole accommodates a wide array of player types and setup styles, and is designed to work specifically with the hosel configuration. As a result, golfers are better able to sole and aim the putter at address and deliver it to that same square position at impact.

PREMIUM MILLED TRUE PATHTM ALIGNMENT

True Path™ Alignment is nothing new in Spider putters, but it announces itself in a new way with Spider ZT. Instead of appearing as a solid white streak on the top of the putter with a black sightline, Spider ZT features thinly milled lines on the top of the 303 stainless steel face that are evenly spaced, with the total lined area adding up to exact width of a golf ball.

This allows golfers to precisely center the ball in the middle of the face at address to reduce misses on the heel and toe.

PURE ROLL™ INSERT

Like previous generations of Spider putters, Spider ZT utilizes TaylorMade’s Pure Roll™
insert. Made from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum, the insert features grooves that are angled at 45° to promote forward roll, while also enhancing sound and feel.

SPIDER ZT COSMETICS

The Spider logo and scripting have been reimagined as seen on the anodized blue sole
plate and the SuperStroke grip. A single black dot on the toe-side sole signifies the
standard-length model. The counterbalance sole has two dots, and the long putter sole has three dots. The sole also has ‘5K’ inscribed noting Spider ZT’s high-MOI properties.

The blue headcover features a black spider front and center with numerous other spiders stitched throughout. A black TaylorMade logo is located on the toe-side magnetic flap.
