When TaylorMade released their new Spider Tour line of putters in September, many of you asked if one of those putters was the putter that Scottie Scheffler used during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Unfortunately, the answer was no. That version of the Spider Tour putter was only for Tour players.

That changes today.

Fast Facts

TaylorMade is releasing the previously Tour-only Spider Tour X Proto putter.The Spider Tour X Proto mallet features a milled face and blade-like feel.Limited quantities produced.Available Nov. 7 with a MSRP of $500.

TaylorMade just announced that the Spider Tour X Proto mallet putter is available to the public as a limited-edition offering. It’s not exactly the Scottie Spider but it’s close. 

This Spider Tour X features the same core design changes as the one that Scheffler used. Specifically, it has a milled face.

How does the Spider Tour X Proto differ from the current Spider Tour X?

Before we look at the Spider Tour X Proto, let’s recap the key elements of the 2023 TaylorMade Spider Tour line.

It’s been a couple of years since an A Grind last landed in Vokey WedgeWorks, and it’s probably not a stretch to assume that the Vokey Design WedgeWorks 60A will be the last of the SM9 era.

Still, I expect there will be plenty of interest in Vokey’s latest low bounce wedge offering.

Grinds can be complicated, so perhaps it’s helpful to understand that for all the variety offered within the Vokey lineup, there are only a handful of what you might call core grinds. By and large, they’re the familiar ones (F, M, S, L, etc.) that show up on retail shelves year after year.

A good bit of what hits WedgeWorks aren’t so much wholly unique grinds as they are variations of a core grind.

For example, the most recent WedgeWorks release, the V Grind is basically a higher bounce take on the extremely versatile T Grind.

The Testing Opportunity

Not everyone golfs in the rain but if you do it is essential to have quality rain gear that will keep you dry and comfortable and still provide enough flexibility so you can perform your best.

Galway Bay has consistently performed well in our Most Wanted testing and, this year, offered to take part in MyGolfSpy Forum testing.

Galway Bay provided each tester with their Hawthorn II golf rain jacket, Seagrove II chino rain pants and golf rain gloves. Five intrepid testers volunteered to play golf in conditions that would make most of us head home. These brave souls were chosen to give us their honest opinions on how this Galway Bay rain gear performed in some of the worst conditions, how it fit and identify its strengths and weaknesses.

The “science of feel” may be the ultimate golf oxymoron. How could it be that the most subjective performance attribute in the game – how a club feels when you hit it – is the result of advanced engineering?

One would have to have a soul of stone to sully the art and emotion of feel by bringing math, computer simulation and ultra-modern technology into the equation. After all, didn’t Ben Hogan, the greatest technical tactician/golfer of them all, say it better than anyone?

“A well-hit golf shot,” he told us, “is a feeling that goes up the shaft, right through your hands and into your heart.”

You can’t wax poetically any better than that.

But, friends, we’re on the cusp of 2024. Today, we carry more technology in our pockets than Apollo 11 took to the moon over half a century ago. And while it may not please golf purists, technology can make you feel things that weren’t possible even a decade ago.
