August 12, 2020 –\u00a0<\/strong>Building upon a rich history that spans more than a decade, TaylorMade Golf, the industry leader in innovation and technology, has announced the latest addition to the acclaimed family of Spider putters \u2013 the all-new Spider FCG\u00a0<\/strong>(Forward Centre of Gravity).<\/p>\n

At the core of all Spider designs is a legacy of advanced materials and increased stability. While that remains true with Spider FCG<\/strong>, a new and innovative construction allows the company to deliver a putter that upholds the Spider tradition while simultaneously performing like a blade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks Like a Mallet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Featuring an all-new T-Sightline True Path<\/strong>, Spider FCG resembles a more traditional mallet shape compared to other Spider designs. The optically engineered alignment feature allows the golfer aim with the front edge and\/or the vertical line, creating a perpendicular alignment aid. Rich aesthetics are brought to life through contrasting colours, sharp lines and copper accents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn developing Spider FCG, we sought insights from many of the top players on Tour. We compiled that information to construct a clean and traditional mallet shape that performs in a non-traditional way. The result is an intelligently designed high-MOI mallet that\u2019s built for golfers who have an arced putting stroke. Forward CG placement lets the toe release freely like a blade, while the mallet shape and perimeter weighting help maintain the signature Spider family forgiveness,\u201d<\/em>says Bill Price<\/strong>, Director of Product Creation pf Putter & Wedge Categories.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Feels Like a Blade<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The challenge of engineering a mallet with blade-like performance starts with CG placement. In traditional mallet designs, much of the weight is in the perimeter and rear of the putter head \u2013 which helps to increase MOI and enhance distance control. With Spider FCG a massive 2\/3 of the total head weight is located in the anterior, allowing the toe to rotate around that centre of mass.<\/p>\n

In order to front-load the head, an adjustable weight port was positioned on the sole of the putter directly behind the face. Heavy heel and toe tungsten weights account for more than 100g of weight, while a lightweight rear canopy rounds out the shape.<\/p>\n

Further adding to the forward CG properties is the CU29 Pure Roll insert<\/strong>. Crafted from 100% pure copper, this 25g insert is the heaviest TaylorMade has ever constructed. However, like other Pure Roll designs, its 45\u00ba grooves are engineered to increase topspin and improve forward roll across varying surfaces \u2013 helping the ball start and stay on its intended line. In addition to the performance attributes, the metal insert delivers a firmer feel and adds to the blade-like performance of this unique putter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Forgives Like a Spider<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a Spider if it didn\u2019t forgive. With Spider FCG, the mallet shape and perimeter weighting help maintain that signature forgiveness. In conjunction with the forward CG placement, this design encourages a free release of the toe (like a blade) and provides a powerful option for golfers with an arced stroke who still seek forgiveness and help with alignment.<\/p>\n

Spider FCG\u00a0<\/strong>is available in three different hosel types, each meant for a different style of putting stroke. The Short Slant hosel <\/strong>offers 46\u00ba of toe hang (squarely in range with most blade models) to fit golfers with a significant amount of face rotation. The L-Neck\u00a0<\/strong>has 25\u00ba of toe hang for golfers with moderate face rotation and the Single Bend\u00a0<\/strong>is the most face balanced of the three \u2013 better aligning with golfers who have minimal rotation in the putting stroke.<\/p>\n
