Check out what GolfWRXers are saying about Spoiler Golf’s Spoiler OG putter.

Spoiler Golf on the Spoiler OG Putter

Spoiler OG’s patented Lead Edge Roll Technology creates more forward roll (topspin) on the golf ball versus traditional “flat face” putters, while reducing backspin and sidespin. Improving both distance control and start-line accuracy. Spoiler OG is designed with slight toe hang, sports a double bend steel shaft, and is equipped with a midsize pistol grip. The Spoiler OG is USGA conforming and is currently available in right-hand only.

Spoiler Golf officially launched in 2024 and is founded by father and son duo, Jeff and Dan Landman. The idea for Spoiler Golf stemmed from Jeff putting with a wedge, and learning how well he putted with it vs. a traditional “flat face” putter. Spoiler believes a better roll unlocks a better putting experience.

The Spoiler OG sets up nicely behind the ball and my first putts on the practice mat rolled very nicely. It is always a nice compliment when one of your playing partners says “nice roll” after you stroke a putt. I can see that happening a lot with this putter. I have always enjoyed practicing putting with the leading edge of a wedge and occasionally using that shot during a round. Now I have a putter that will produce the same shot, both on the green or from the fringe.

For my putting practice, I use 3 balls and 4 different length putts on my mat for a set total of 12 putts. The putt lengths are 7′, 5.5′, 4′, and 3′. All putts are straight, unless I get a wrinkle in the mat. Through 5 practice sets, my Scotty came in at 60 for 60 and the Spoiler OG was 57 for 60. My 3 misses with the OG were all to the left and probably due to poor strokes. However, 95% make rate for the OG is impressive, especially since it has a different grip than I am used to. I have ordered a new grip and will continue testing, practicing, and playing with the Spoiler OG.

I have found a consistent sweet spot and stroke with the Spoiler OG. I played 18 holes this morning with the OG and did not have any 3 putts; plus I made some nice putts inside of 10′. As Dan from Spoiler has mentioned, it is important to play the ball forward in your stance, with a neutral shaft position, and a smooth stroke keeping the putter head low. For me, I went back to how I would putt with a wedge and duplicated that set up, which is pretty much exactly what Dan recommended.

After a discussion with Dan @SpoilerGolf, I extended the Spoiler OG putter to 40″ and added an Arm Lock putter grip. By doing this, I can use the putter in a broomstick style, arm-lock style, or a traditional style. I added 30 grams of weight to the head to offset the extended length and weight of the grip. The putter is working well with all 3 styles of putting. The arm-lock style is new to me, so it isn’t as comfortable as the other two. The extended putter continues to roll the ball beautifully.

Make no mistake, the Spoiler OG is a great putter. It is the only putter that I have had to adapt to, but once I found the correct setup…..Boda-Bing, Boda-Boom! The feel is amazing on well struck putts and the roll is incredible. I believe the Spoiler OG has made me a better putter with my Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5, so it is also a great training aid. I also love using the OG for shots where I would have tried to belly a wedge.

At first glance, the OG lacks a little polish, mostly on the headcover and grip. It is not the first putter here to be reviewed with headcover complaints, including that one gaining much traction on the tour. The grips are a whole different ball game, and how do you please everyone out of the gate? Additional options would be a bonus, but I can understand new companies have restraints and have to start somewhere.

The Spoiler sits very square and is extremely easy to line up. Beyond the tech, the alignment line is my favorite part of the putter. Tech-wise, these guys are on to something. I might be more inclined to see the Spoiler in a smaller model. The tech works, and the feel is solid.

@BombinJim

My initial takeaway from the unveiling of the putter is that it has a nice weight to it, and the putter head is actually smaller than it appears online. This is a good thing for me and the way I like putters to look. Coming from the TM spider Tour, the finish is a treat – it is a nice silver matte that looks hardy and unlikely to chip (like the spider), nor will it reflect back while outside in the sun. The construction looks and feels solid, and I am generally a fan of the functional appearance from my aerospace engineering background.

• The putter feels incredible. By incredible – I mean soft and with great feedback on strike quality. I expected it to be harsh given it is based on the premise of bellying a wedge, so I had that in mind going in. Indoors on my practice mat, I could not get a good sense for how the putter would feel off the face, and was delighted with how it felt on the course.
• Mid range putts (15-25ft). These are where I noticed the greatest difference between the Spoiler OG and my TaylorMade Spider Tour. With my old putter, these would often deviate from their line, or go long/dry up shorter than expected due to strike quality. I think the spoiler, given its thinner vertical area on the face, delivers a more consistent strike from putt to putt. As such, my lag putts were rather incredible. I do use a line on my ball, mostly for alignment but also for feedback on strike quality. The spider definitely tended to wobble a little bit on some mid range putts, but the Spoiler is true end over end.
• From the fringe. Normally I hate to use putter off the green. The transition from fringe to green is very tough for me to gage and I typically leave these short or go way long. However, I tried this a few times just to see how it behaved. The Spoiler OG seems to allow a better transition between fringe and green without changing much in line/pace. Perhaps this is a benefit of the forward rolling/topspin feature of the Spoiler.
• Long range putts. Perhaps user error or being unfamiliar with the nuances of the technique, but when putting from 40 feet out+ or so when you had to give it some ummmmph, upon initial strike the ball hopped about 3 inches up in the air before settling back on the green and rolling true again. It seemed odd, and certainly I’m ok with the result because it was a good lag leave, but it threw me off. I will have to practice a few more of these long range putts to see if I can figure it out.

Pretty nice box with the logo, it was packaged very securely and thoughtfully along with handwritten notes. As another tester noted, Dan from Spoiler send me an intro email and tracking info yesterday.

It is my opinion that a well struck Spoiler putt comes off the face perhaps the “hottest” of the bunch and also rolls the best end over end thus far. Having said that, I have had some issues with misses both ways with the Spoiler and I feel as though I really have to be methodical with my stroke which is something I should probably improve upon anyhow.

When you strike the Spoiler perfect you can barely feel it come off the face and the sound is muted. On off strikes that even may go in the hole the sound becomes more of a “ping” or “ting” like sound. On good hits the Spoiler feels amazing and on poor or decent hits it feels just OK imo.

I think the end over end roll and the feel of a perfect strike is a bit addicting on the Spoiler, especially with long alignment marks or triple track and other aides. This is without a doubt the big benefit and the entire point of the putter. I don’t really like the “ting” on mishits and like golfinbrad said above, options on weights, head designs (which you are working on), etc. would be nice. The more time I spend with it I feel like I am minimizing the real bad off target line hits and I’ve more or less solved the hopping issue.

Standing over the OG, I felt it was a little busy or distracting. I might replace the red sight line with a black or even white one. I’ve always preferred a very basic visual set up. It has a much different feel than the Odyssey White Hot insert. The OG is firm and even though there is a vary small amount contacting the ball it provides plenty of feedback. I had no issue adjust to the weight difference. Speed control was really good. I do agree with their website and videos, the OG does put a very nice, consistent roll on the ball. Even when struck poorly, it was forgiving. Can’t say I had any lag putts get away from me. Might even say lag putts were as good or better than my gamer. Short putts was a different story. I was inconsistent in that 4′ to 8′ range, which is my nemesis. However, Once I realized the OG had toe hang, I stood slightly further away using a little more of an arc. This made a big difference. I really felt the weight and toe hang requires an arc stroke. My gamer is CS, so I stand more over the ball and rock the shoulders. I think a slightly different setup could fix that. I plan to play 3 rounds this week and the OG will be in the bag. On the course, should give me a good gauge.

The Super Stroke 2.0 Pistol has been installed and has helped. The smaller factory grip seemed to allow my hands to be more active than I prefer. This has made an improvement. Hope to get it back on the course tomorrow for another good test.

First impression for most was a “what the %@#&” is that? I didn’t tell them anything about it but just hit a few putts with it. Every single one was shocked how good it felt. They all acted like they were just going to hit one putt with it and hand it back; but they would hit the first putt and instantly looked at me and then at the face of the putter. Then they would proceed to hit a few more putts.

I just couldn’t believe that this thing felt this good, so I couldn’t stop. Speed control for the most part was pretty good. I would say it was no different than my gamer in consistency of my lag putts on the practice green. I was just so impressed with how well I was rolling it. I hit some pretty long lag putts and I thought that it would be it’s biggest test but I hit them all pretty well. I did hit a couple too low on the ball and those hopped a little bit. Not horrible but noticeable.

I took the OG with me to my Saturday league and I did not game it, but let a few of the guys give it a try after the round. As before, the ones who tried it thought it felt way better than they thought it would! I had one that was truly impressed with the feel and the roll it put on the ball. He stated that a lot of putters claim to roll the ball better but he was really impressed with tech that really did put a better roll on the ball. He was going to hit just a couple putts with it and ended up putting with it for 15 minutes! I think if I would have offered it to him he would have bought it on the spot! I told him the price of a new one and he was a little shocked by that. He thought it was a little too high for something so different, even if the tech works. Thought it is going to be hard to get guys to buy in when you can get a pretty premium putter for that price..

I worked on figuring out how to hit it from long range and out of the fringe and the rough. I had a little better luck doing a forward press to get under the equator of the ball to help lift it up. The problem is you have to be very precise to get it to come out correctly. So at this point I am still not able to game it in my league play. I will continue to take it with me and work with it on the practice green.

Bonus comment

joekelli: Rolled my first putt from about 20 feet and sunk it! I was in complete shock of how good it actually felt! 2nd putt burned the edge and 3rd putt in. I actually stopped and went in to show the pro the putter and boast about how good it actually feels and the roll it just put on the ball in just 3 putts.
