Great video Dave. I recently purchased this putter with slant neck and the toe hang looks similar to Scottie’s L neck. Softer than my milled Cameron Newport but the Spider X does produce a more solid feel than I expected. Roll is incredible as well. The ease of alignment is a winner for me too. Keep the great videos coming!!!!

Its not the same.. Tells you on the TM website what the toe hang is on each...they're totally different, L neck has much less toe hang

@@BuffaloNickel9. 31* Taylormade Tour X slant neck vs. 25* Newport toe hang. Hardly noticeable and I was basing my opinion on what I saw not the actual specs. I am fortunate enough to own both putters and I think they look pretty similar to me from a toe hang perspective.

Have always liked the single alignment line and that it has some decent thickness for visual. Only to putt like Scottie.

Great comparison David, so cool you got one of Scottie's replica putters on your hands. I'm thinking of trying one of these putters out, specifically for the alignment, as lately, I'm pulling everything just left.

great video, a few years ago i had a similar version but i just felt the face was too soft and didn’t like it.

If you are someone coming from a milled putter, I could understand that. Face inserts are designed to soften feel and reduce sound, especially 'click' sounds, but some players really like the feel of milled putters and need to hear certain things to get good distance control. - DD

From what I’ve read the Scottie putter is 345 grams and the standard is 355.. did you notice a difference in weight ?
@DavidDusek

Obviously, I did not take the putter apart, but the total weight for the club was 540 grams and it had a swing weight of D 8.7. In my hands, it felt a touch heavier, but not significantly. - DD

Demo’d this putter for a couple weeks, and IMO, this putter is trash unless you’re playing tour fast greens. The insert only really feels good when your putter stroke is slow and smooth. Out here in muni golf land, a quicker putting stroke tempo tends to dull out the insert, and provides no “click” or feel. Sticking with my Newport, and will likely demo a Phantom 5.5 here soon.

Appreciate that it’s just a talking point but describing Scottie’s putting in 2023 as abysmal is just not right. How can a player that makes #1 in the world be “abysmal” at putting? He occasionally misses a short putt which invariably is caught on the TV because he is normally in contention or leading then everyone starts piling in. Same with McIlroy being “terrible” with a wedge ! On what 🌍 😂

Thanks for the comment. Compared to players like us, yes, Scheffler is an outstanding putter. However, in 2023, compared to other PGA Tour golfers, he was terrible. He ranked No. 162 in Strokes Gained: Putting last season with an average of -0.301. That means compared to the average PGA Tour player, Scheffler was giving away a third-of-a-shot over 18 holes on the greens, which is slightly more than one full stroke at a 72-hole tournament. Out of 192 players who were ranked, only 31 were worse. For a golfer ranked No. 1 in the world rankings, that's abysmal. Scheffler was a solid lag putter and did not three-putt often, and he's very easy to cheer for, but we shouldn't shy away from saying that his putting was bad last year. This season, he's improved to 96th in Strokes Gained: Putting (+0.014), and I don't think he needs to get much better. Scheffler is so elite in every other aspect of the game that if he simply becomes an average putter, he'll win or contend every week, which is what we're starting to see. - DD

@@DavidDusek you're exactly right. His putting stats do prove he was *abysmal* but it just didnt seem like it when watching his stoke in 2023. Even Chamblee couldnt figure out the "why". Stroke looked smooth & fluent but he wasn't making very much. I guess it was his "lining up" the putter as he eluded to because the spider changed everything for him. He was also pretty good with the Newport 2 when he began his career. Scottie was never too worried about it for one second though, turns out he was right in the end with another green jacket and wins keep coming now he changed putters.
