Spider Tour

The 2017 Spider Tour sits within TaylorMade's Spider line as the tour-oriented version of that year's release, offered in Red and Black colorways according to thehackersparadise.com. The maker's own product page for the Spider Tour Red describes perimeter weighting for added stability and a removed sightline meant to zero in the player's focus, and states that it was played by Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. That page also carries the Pure Roll insert copy verbatim: "the Pure Roll™ insert combines 45° grooves with a softer polymer to increase topspin and improve forward roll across varying surfaces – helping your ball start and stay on its intended line."

On construction, clickgolf.co.uk reported a milled aluminium body with what it called a lightweight yet sturdy construction, and credited that build with enhancing the putters' stability and sound. thehackersparadise.com's account of the insert diverges slightly in detail, describing a Surlyn covered Pure Roll insert used across the line except on the Tour Black, and crediting it with a softer feel and more muted sound, a claim about tone that isn't found in clickgolf's write-up.

Community and reviewer opinion on this release leaned favorable. General sentiment held that the 2017 Spider Tour showed improved stability, improved sound, and a satisfying feel at impact, and clickgolf.co.uk's review echoed that directly, noting a build resulting in an even more satisfying feel at impact. Against the rest of the Spider line, the Tour edition of 2017 reads as the version built around perimeter weighting and the removed sightline, with the maker's own copy pointing toward tour use as its selling point.
