Transcript

Your favorite blade putter is keeping you average. Yeah. I said it. Because if you actually look at what's happening on the tour right now, it's not blades winning anymore. It's the TaylorMade Spider putter. Scottie Scheffler switches to a spider, starts winning majors, the players, signature events. Rory puts one in place, suddenly his putting stats spike, rank slam winner. Colin Morikawa literally borrows a spider putter prototype, wins Pebble Beach, and then never gives it back. Chris Goddard has won a couple times with one recently. Ben Griffin switches and starts stacking trophies. Even Brooks Koepka, lifelong Scottie Cameron player, switches to a spider when his putter goes cold. Now you've got wins across the PGA Tier and DP World Tour with the same mallet profile dominating leaderboards. At some point, stops being a coincidence and starts being performance. Blades are nostalgia. Spiders are winning. So if you're still gaming a blade because of feel, just know might be your ego talking, not your scorecard.
