TaylorMade Spider ZT Max Long Putter

Forty-six inches and a 210 gram graphite shaft make this the most extreme putter TaylorMade builds. Length alone puts it in broomstick territory, and the shaft weight is nearly double what a standard build carries, which is what stops it feeling like a fishing rod. A split pistol grip separates the hands along the butt.

Zero-torque geometry is what the ZT badge stands for and this is the model stored with it, reached through a centre shaft under the large Max head. That placement removes the lever. Combining zero torque with a 46 inch build takes an unusual amount off a golfer's list of things to manage, leaving pace and read and very little else. Black or gunmetal, right hand only. It's a specialist club and it doesn't pretend otherwise.
