Spider Putter looks AWSOME!

  I had an envious look at the new spider putter, and its made me feel frustrated that i'm only level 90, and maybe need another month or 2 before i can buy it.  The same precision as the Ghost i'm currently using, but with the meter speed of the beginners Spider.  WGT you are torturing me.  I love my current standard ghost putter, but maybe 30% of putts i miss are down to me missing ding, so this new putter will guarantee hitting ding & even more tantalising, the forgiveness is greater as well.   

  Please, can anyone who's lucky enough to be level 90, PLEASE give me a description of how good this putter is.  Its going to be BYE.BYE Daytona Rossa now, because everyone who has clung on to the rossa for its slow meter are all going to rush out to buy this extremely good looking new toy......All i can say is YOU LUCKY BA5T@$"D'S!!!!!!!..

  I'm going to play as much golf as possible in a day to get to level 92 ASAP LOL.

  Hmm twice as much CR as the Spider Ghost L66 for a half dot extra in Bal & Prec?

   

  I guess it will lead up to another putter at L99 for 3600cr and an extra 1/2 dot somewhere.

  Its a dot more precise, not half, which believe me, makes a heck of a difference, the ghost and redwood are meant to be the same, but i can assure you when i upgraded from redwood to ghost, my putting seemed to improve greatly.

  LMAO-It looks like something out of Star Wars on a stick. Are those Turbo Encapulators stuck on the side?

   Where's Andyson?  :-D

  It's gorgeous Chris.

  No more nervy 7ft putts or exasperatingly missed 4 footers, the ball goes at the hole like it's being pulled by a magnet.

  Your next 2 levels are going to be agonising

  I still need another 30000 points to get to level 94, been waiting since 7th July.

  I've been using "old" ghost for a while, and are used to the 25 & 50 foot increments, so it will make no difference to me

  im not super impressed by the lvl92 ghost spider - its meter is quite zoomy for me - like it starts off normal but zooms towards the click point making it harder for me to click where i want ( i intentionally mishit my putts).shoulda bought the lowest end one - thats the one with the spider speed - the others are rossa speed (plus zoom). cost me 2400 to get and will get 800 back when i sell it back.

  I have the Spider Ghost L66

  No it isnt.

  here's an image comparing my L66 Ghost (1200cr)  to the L92 (2400cr)

  

   

  I'm not gonna pay double the CR for a club with half dot difference.

  I didn't even know there was a level 66 ghost putter, i was looking at the level 36 one.  That's why. But you say half a dot wont make a difference?? WRONG.. I used to have Redwood, which is same as ghost, but my putting has got much better with the ghost, sink 12+ footers as easy as 6 footers with redwood, and i've started to sink a lot more long putts.  Having upgraded from Rossa to redwod even, the half a notch made a difference.  And i can assure you, WGT will have tweeked this putter to make it even better than the ghost i'm using, and its totally up to you what to think, but i know for a fact i cant wait to buy it because it will be even better than the ghost i have now.
