bureedo Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just picked up a DJ spider putter, any tips on putting stroke/ lie at address? Not used to mallet style putters Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Miboy62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDubya23 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I believe most mallet putters fit a putting stroke that is straight back, straight through. Some do work with a slight arc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Eseay32 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Took me about two rounds before I really got it lined up correctly and could see it. I could easily feel it when open but I would set it closed mostly. I'm a straight back straight through stroke and it's worked well for me.

null Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 TaylorMade actually added the slant neck to the spider to allow for some toe hang to betterment fit strokes with some arc to them. The version with the shaft that goes right into the head has less toe hang and is better for straight back straight through strokes Grand Stranded and Miboy62 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eseay32 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I played with doing hands forward and not. With the slant shaft you are a little forward already. I do not forward press with mine. I focus on keeping the putter low to the ground with my stroke. I noticed with it you feel like lifting it up at the back of the stroke even on 4 footers (if that makes sense) Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote <p>Knoxville, TN 8 Hdcp PXG 0811 10.59deg loft Ping G25 3 wood Titleist 2i rescue Ping I irons +1 upright Vokey Sm5 52, 56, OdysseyRed 2Ball Fang with 1.0 super stroke</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eseay32 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyI love it but I like a weighted heavier putter. I went from a 2ball with a fat superstroke to a Cameron Golo3 to the spider. Personally with the slant shaft and pure roll insert I would recommend not forward pressing but that's me. I put a superstroke on it immediately.

I think this post answers it nicely, thanks. null 1 Quote Driver: G425 Max 10.5* Fairway: Stealth 3HL & 7W Hybrids: Stealth 25* Irons: E722 6-AW Wedges: Jaws Raw Face 54-10 RTX Zipcore 58-6 Putter: ER7 34” 14th club?
