TaylorMade debut a prototype zero-torque putter at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Here’s everything we know so far…

It looks as though TaylorMade have joined the zero-torque revolution with a TaylorMade Spider zero-torque putter. The putter was spotted on Tour, being used by long-time Spider user Jason Day. TaylorMade’s Spider putters are regarded by many as some of the best putters in the game. Could their zero-torque model boost their reputation?

The official name of the prototype putter is the TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT. It’s pretty apparent the ‘ZT’ stands for zero-torque, and my guess is the ‘5K’ refers to the amount of MOI (Moment of Inertia).

TaylorMade Spider Zero Torque Putter Pure Roll Face Insert

Jason Day was spotted testing the TaylorMade Spider zero-torque putter at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. This model features TaylorMade’s Pure Roll face insert, which provides an incredibly soft feel. If it’s the same insert as the one found in the Spider Tour range, it will be crafted from a blend of Surlyn and aluminum and feature grooves angled at 45° for optimal forward roll and better overall roll characteristics. 

The shape is perhaps most similar to the Spider Tour Z, but it’s definitely not a carbon copy of any current Spider models. The silver face section perfectly pairs with the black body to give a very luxurious feel, and the blue sole plate is very refreshing.

There must be a milled element to this putter because ‘MILLED’ is stamped on the sole of the left wing. I imagine the silver face section has been through a milling process, and the Pure Roll insert has been added at a later stage – although that is pure speculation. The shaft enters the center of the putter head – like it does with most zero-torque putters – behind the small alignment aid in the body of the club.

TaylorMade haven’t released any details on the Spider zero-torque putter yet, but when they do, we’ll be sure to update you with more information.
