TaylorMade Golf launches Spider Limited Putters

On the back of Jason Day’s emphatic win at THE PLAYERS Championship, TaylorMade Golf Company has announced the release of the new Spider Limited and Spider Limited Red putters, both inspired by the number one ranked player in the world and one of the PGA TOUR’s best statistical putters, Jason Day.

During his rise to number one, Day came to the TaylorMade team with a request for a putter similar in style to his trusted Itsy Bitsy prototype, the putter he’s used for multiple wins on the PGA TOUR which included his first major victory at the 2015 PGA Championship. His ask was for a putter that incorporated red, one of his favorite and most sentimental colours. Using the Redback Spider, a venomous spider indigenous to Day’s native Australia as inspiration, the TaylorMade team embarked on a mission to create a palate of colour options, working intimately with Jason throughout the process.

When the final colour was selected, Jason proposed the team build him two different models, each showcasing the colour in a different way that would allow him to test and select which suited his eye before determining which would be put into play.

Day was first introduced to the putters in February, and after testing both models, the Spider Limited Red made its PGA TOUR debut at the RBC Heritage in mid-April and was used to win THE PLAYERS Championship on Sunday.

Both models feature subtleties recognisable by the best players in the world, including Day, who prefers a seamless top crown and sans alignment aid. The two models available at retail will differ slightly from Day’s personal putter, which will include the alignment aid on the crown. Made of a 304 stainless steel frame  combined with a lightweight 6061 aluminum body enables weight to be positioned at the extremities, the Spider Limited putters provide improved stability and high MOI. Similar to the original Itsy Bitsy, both new models incorporate a milled Aluminum Pure Roll insert with a gunmetal finish to promote better forward roll, increased directional accuracy and distance control.

The Spider Limited and Spider Limited Red will be available starting 29 June. The Spider Limited will have an RRP of £199 and the Spider Limited Red will have an RRP £229. Spider Limited is available in 33”, 34” & 35” lengths while the Spider Limited Red is available in 35” length only.
