Should You Play The Same Putter As A Tour Player?

TaylorMade adds the Spider Tour X L-Neck putter to their retail line.The putter is the same model Scottie Scheffler is using on the PGA Tour.The Scottie Scheffler Spider Tour X L-Neck is available now at retail shops and online for $349.99.

About a week ago, TaylorMade released the version of their Spider Tour X putter that Scottie Scheffler has been using on Tour. You can likely find it online or at a store near you right now. But should you?

Normally, I pay very little attention to Tour player clubs.

Last time I checked, I did not have a “Tour-level” swing. It seems unlikely that a Tour player’s hard-stepped X-flex driver shaft is going to improve my game. As such, I don’t spend much time exploring What’s in the Bag? type of information.

Obviously, I’m not talking about Tour player putters, though. Tour putter usage fascinates me.

The putters used on the professional tours tell so many stories. Some putters have been in the bag since the player was an amateur. Other players have a new putter in the bag every week. Tour players’ putters may be unique creations from their sponsoring manufacturer or off-the-rack finds from the local Golf Galaxy.

Xander Schauffele Is Champion Golfer Of The Year

I would even go so far as to say that the links occupy a place as a traditional form of art. But the artifice should be subjected so that it remains hidden.

KYOEI KK Wedges Now Back in Stock!

BACK IN STOCK!

Originally, this KK wedge was supposed to be a temporary release to fill in between two new models under development. However, after the first run was put into the hands of the players, it became obvious that this wedge needed to become a permanent part of the KYOEI Golf lineup. The brand did not have the supply to meet the demand. It’s not as simple as just ordering more; the production schedule often gets in the way, so it needed to be fit in somewhere.

The main reason is that average golfers lauded its forgiveness and feel. While on paper it was not supposed to be the brand’s easiest-to-hit wedge, it just happened to work out that way. Utilizing the latest CNC sharp grooves and tight face milling technology, this wedge is designed to provide spin and control on the course.
