TaylorMade launches new Daddy Long Legs, Spider Mallet, Spider Blade putters
TaylorMade has launched a tour-inspired line of its counterbalanced Daddy Long Legs, Spider Maller and Spider Blade putters, which offer the same performance as the company’s original models with a more subdued appearance. Along with a new black finish, the putters add TaylorMade’s matte black shafts and high-polished soles.
Daddy Long Legs
The Daddy Long Legs, which is the largest of the three putters, sells for $250. It has an moment of inertia (MOI) of 8500, making it one of the most forgiving putters in golf. High-MOI putters like the Daddy Long Legs can improve the consistency of a golfer’s stroke and help normalize ball speed on strikes across the putter face, helping putts hit off-center roll closer to the same distance as putts hit in the center of the face.
Spider Blade
TaylorMade’s Spider Blade putter, which was used by Justin Rose to win the 2013 U.S. Open, has an MOI of 5200, making it twice as forgiving as standard blade putters, according to TaylorMade. It sells for $229.
Spider Mallet
The Spider Mallet putter fits in between the Daddy Long Legs and Spider Blade putters in terms of size and forgiveness and also sells for $229.
All three of the counterbalanced putters are available in lengths of 35 and 38 inches. The 38-inch model is for golfers who use a 34-to-36 inch putter, while the 35-inch model is for golfers who use a 32-to-34 inch putter

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Just got mine in the mail today. It is an amazing looking putter and I can’t wait to use it. Let’s just hope I can get the ball in the hole with it!

Taylormade update philosophy: If it’s black, make it white. If it’s white, make it black.

Are you stating Dustin Johnson has a cocaine habit? I would be careful saying things like that, even online. You know Phil went after a Canadian guy and got him in some serious trouble because the guy was slandering him online. I’m just saying, I don’t know anything about anyone.
