“Spider GT blends traditional shaping with contemporary construction. The classic half-moon mallet is enhanced by a heavy tungsten rollbar for added perimeter weighting and increased stability.
“The defining feature of Spider GT Rollback is an arched top design that makes alignment easy and helps golfers visualize the path of the putting stroke.
“Crafted from anodized aluminum for both a premium look and increased durability, it is available in two distinct finishes.
“Silver/Black with a single stripe provides contrasting color alignment, while the silver model uses three lines for aim and path.
“This is the first Spider to feature an 80g tungsten rollbar. Positioned along the perimeter of the putter, this added weight is designed to produce more forgiveness and stability, allowing Spider GT Rollback to remain extremely stable on off-center strikes.”
