On-Course Review
The Spider VS the TRTL...
Reviewed by Matthew Wong (GP) · Mid-handicap golfer
Key Takeaway
As much as the theming of the TRTL is spot on the insert is a let down if you haven't rolled an Odyssey putter in a while.
On-Course Experience
I'll just say it straight up and lead with answer I prefer my TaylorMade Spider over the Odyssey TRTL. The Pure Roll suits me better than the AI Star insert for me personally. I found myself flying putts and overall I could not get the distance control down. However, if you have been in the Odyssey putter world and you are used to the inserts they have recently released then I would totally suggest you give this putter a try.
Like I said thematically this putter is PERFECT. The grip, head cover, design choices of the putter head, all come together and deliver what a "turtle" putter would be. There may be one saving grace that I haven't tried which is adjusting the weights as there are four you can play around with. The TRTL may make a return but for now it sits behind the Spider for me.
