The Spider 5K-ZT is a high-MOI, zero-torque mallet putter built for maximum stability, consistency, and alignment. It uses a multi-material construction with a 303 stainless steel front and lightweight aerospace aluminum back, a low-torque (toe-up) shaft alignment with minimal shaft lean, TaylorMade’s Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for faster forward roll, and a milled True Path alignment aid with ball-width sight lines to help you aim square every time.
Here are the key features of the TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT putter:
-
Zero-torque / toe-up hosel configuration: the shaft is centre-bored near the CG with a slight 1° lean and an offset of ~25mm behind the lead edge, designed to reduce face rotation through the stroke.
-
Very high MOI construction: a blend of 303 stainless steel (front) and 6061 aerospace aluminum (back), plus perimeter weighting to boost stability and forgiveness.
-
Pure Roll insert with 45°-angled grooves: softer feel combined with improved forward roll, helping reduce skidding and improve distance control.
-
Premium True Path™ alignment: milled, ball-width lines on the topline to help frame the ball and aim more precisely.
-
Improved sole camber / unique sole shaping: designed to ensure proper contact with the ground (flush sole) for a variety of player setups and ball positions.
-
Available in multiple configurations: standard lengths (33-35″), counter-balanced versions (longer with heavier grip/shaft), and a long design (around 46″) for broomstick/stroke style variations.
-
Loft ~2.5°, lie ~70° (with lie ~79° for the long-length variant) and headweights that differ by model (e.g. standard ~370g, counter-balance heavier) to suit different strokes and preferences.
