TaylorMade Golf, Carlsbad, CA — August 14, 2026

Golf enthusiasts widely consider the TaylorMade Spider putter to be the ultimate in design and function for achieving the feel and roll that consistently sends the golf ball on its intended line.

Boulder, Colorado’s FST Corporation, a leading manufacturer and marketer of steel and graphite golf shafts and a provider of other golf-related services, has announced that TaylorMade Golf has selected its KBS putter shafts as the stock shafts across two newly launched putter families: the all-new Spider Tour putter family and the Spider ZT Max lineup.

In an earlier announcement of the Spider Tour family, TaylorMade confirmed that all models across the four head shapes in the line, Spider Tour, Spider Tour X, Spider Tour F, and Spider Tour V, are now equipped with the KBS CT Putter 120 Stepless Black shaft. The Spider Tour family, offered in a new torched PVD finish, is available at TaylorMadeGolf.com and retail outlets for $349.99 per putter.

TaylorMade separately announced the Spider ZT Max, a high-MOI mallet putter offered in three configurations, each built around a KBS shaft: the Standard model features the KBS CT Putter 120 Stepless shaft, the Counterbalance model a 155-gram KBS Custom Graphite shaft, and the Long model a 210-gram KBS Custom Graphite shaft. In each configuration, the KBS shaft is a core element of the putter’s design, bored directly toward the putter head’s center of gravity to produce a consistent, toe-up orientation at address. Spider ZT Max putters retail from $449.99 to $549.99.

According to TaylorMade, Spider putters have accumulated more PGA Tour wins than any other putter family since the start of 2024, including recent major championship victories by the world’s top-ranked players.

FST Chief Executive Officer, David Chuang, stated, “The selection of KBS shafts across TaylorMade’s newest Spider putter families is a powerful validation of the KBS brand and the engineering behind it. Having our steel and graphite putter shafts featured as stock equipment in one of the most recognized putter franchises in golf reflects the trust that leading OEMs place in KBS performance, and we believe it will further expand the brand’s visibility with golfers at every level.”

The TaylorMade putter programs build on continued momentum in FST’s OEM business, which recorded a 57 percent year-over-year increase in sales to OEM partners in the first half of 2026.
