Brand new TaylorMade Monza Spider - 34" - unhit

The one taking the tour by storm, it's an inch too long for me as my arms are like those on a monkey.

That's what I was going to do but I keep reading that cutting down putters buggers up the weight balance and for a £140 putter I am slightly reluctant.

Saw a few guys using one yesterday, aparently more professionals have requested it than any other TaylorMade club - even ones not sponsored by TM.

The science is that an off centre hit from the toe on a normal putter will come up 1.5" short, and off the heel !" short - with this thing they will roll in the cup.

I haven't used it yet apart form in the house

Why not just hold the putter slightly further down the grip?

Do you guys use more than one putter? not in the same round but depending on conditions?

I only use 1 putter.

Matt the Futura has a 30g removable weight so I can remove it to use on fast greens during the summer or keep it in for the slower one's over the winter.

yup - I took it out on sunday and made a lot of putts - 28 putts is a good improvement for me so think I'll keep it as it is. Holed some big ones too.

Hi guys - sorry for the delay in replying I have been away!

The putter never got sold - the first round I made something like 27 putts and since then it's been very solid!

Best putter I have had for sure - helps me line it up.

 

But it is ugly!
