PuttersTaylorMade PuttersThe zero-torque Spider ZT, the shape-driven Spider TOUR, and the blade-type SYSTM2
Updated: Nov 8, 2026Contains affiliate links
TaylorMade putters come in three lines. The Spider ZT, a "zero-torque" putter whose face angle resists turning, the Spider TOUR, whose character splits by shape, and the SYSTM2 with a milled face. Only the Spider ZT and ZT MAX publish head weight, so I compared the rest by shape and price.

Bottom line: how I'd choose
If you don't want the face to open and close in your stroke, take the Spider ZT; if you still worry about missing the center, take the ZT MAX (JPY 66,000 and up).
If you have used a blade for a long time, that's different. Zero-torque is said to change how the putter looks at address a lot, so I wouldn't push it right away (I have never taken a stance with one; this is the general explanation). In between, there is the Spider TOUR V TORCHED (JPY 53,900), with its more forward center of gravity.
If you like a milled-face blade or a mid-mallet, there is the SYSTM2 (JPY 41,800 and up).
Putters: Spider ZT, Spider TOUR and SYSTM2
| Model | Release date | Shape | Head weight (34 in. standard) | Price (tax included) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten Ichiba / AdSpider ZT MAX | Jun 12, 2026 | Large mallet (zero torque) | 379g | ¥69,300 |
| Rakuten Ichiba / AdSpider ZT | Jul 4, 2025 | Mallet (zero torque) | 370g | ¥66,000 |
| Rakuten Ichiba / AdSpider TOUR TORCHED (X / F / V and more) | Jun 12, 2026 | Mallet | Not published | ¥53,900 |
| Rakuten Ichiba / AdSYSTM2 (JUNO / SOTO / DEL MONTE / BANDON) | Mar 27, 2026 | Blade and mid-mallet | Not published | ¥41,800 to ¥46,200 |
The Spider ZT MAX has a head about 25% larger than the ZT, and its center of gravity is deeper at 34mm from the face (25mm on the ZT). It's a putter built on the "zero-torque" idea, where the face angle resists turning during the stroke, and it also appears in the putter article.
Only the Spider ZT and ZT MAX publish head weight. The Spider TOUR TORCHED and SYSTM2 do not.
The Spider TOUR TORCHED splits in character by shape. The V has the most forward center of gravity in the series, for golfers moving over from a blade, and the F is a shape that opens and closes the face more easily.

FAQ
What's the difference between the Spider ZT and Spider ZT MAX?
The ZT MAX has a head about 25% larger and a deeper center of gravity, 34mm back from the face (25mm on the ZT). At 34 in., head weight is 370g on the ZT and 379g on the ZT MAX. Prices are ¥66,000 for the ZT and ¥69,300 for the ZT MAX.
Does TaylorMade publish putter head weight?
Only for the Spider ZT and Spider ZT MAX. It isn't published for the Spider TOUR TORCHED or SYSTM2, so if you want to choose by weight, those two are your candidates.

About the writer and how this page was made
A golfer who averages a 72 over about 150 rounds a year went through the gear documents one by one.
This page is a list of official figures from manufacturers and others, not an account of what I used. What I use is a PING SCOTTSDALE ANSER (blade type), 34 inches, which I have played for about 15 rounds since June 2026. I have only seen the Spider ZT, Spider TOUR and SYSTM2 in a shop, and I have never held them at address. The sources for the figures are listed at the end of the page. Check prices and stock on each shop's page before you buy.
