Was 2025 the year of ‘zero couple’? If the litmus test is Fairway Jockey’s best-selling putter, the answer is a resounding one YES.
The TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT (“zero torque”) putter was released just before the start of summer. TaylorMade underwent an 18-month re-engineering process of the existing Spider model – a model that had long had a reputation for reliable roll, stability and alignment – to create the 5K-ZT. The TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT was an instant hit with consumers and quickly became the best-selling putter of the year.
What makes this model so unique? The putter features a toe-up or “face-forward” balance configuration, TaylorMade director of product creation for woods and putters Andrew Oldknow said in a press release.
“This design minimizes torque and reduces the need for hand manipulation, promoting a more consistent stroke,” he continued. “The result is that the putter face remains squarer to the target line throughout the entire putting motion, improving directional control and building confidence at address and at impact.”
Additional features include a unique Hosel configuration and a new sole curvature to accommodate different player types and ball positions, with the end goal of allowing golfers to find a consistent and repeatable shot. To aid alignment, milled lines the width of the golf ball have been added so golfers can easily center the club behind the ball.

TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT custom putter
LOW TORQUE DESIGN The KBS putter shaft is drilled directly to the forward direction near the center of gravity, with a 1° shaft slope and an origin 25mm behind the face, allowing golfers to realize the benefits of a new stable toe-up design. UNIQUE SOLE SHAPE New and improved sole shape to work specifically with this unique Hosel configuration. The engineers have worked tirelessly to find new ways to improve accuracy from the moment the putter is placed behind the ball. The new sole curvature accommodates different player types and ball positions, helping golfers find a consistent and repeatable stroke. SPIDER STABILITY The combination of high-density stainless steel and low-density aerospace-grade aluminum provides the perfect foundation for a high-MOI design and allows for a shaft orientation closer to the face. MILLED TRUE PATH™ ALIGNMENT Based on feedback from tour players, we were tasked with finding a new premium alignment system. Building on classic TaylorMade True Path™ technology, milled lines have been added to the width of the golf ball, allowing golfers to properly index to the center of the clubface.
