Taylormade Ghost Spider SI - Japan Model

[ranger1989]

So I have been in Japan visiting some Army units in Okinawa and Tokyo and was able to stop for a short while in a Okinawa Golf Shop. This is what I left with. It is the Japanese version of the Ghost Spider SI. You can see that the grip is the only distinguishable difference but it is also at a 36.5 inch length. Can't wait to give it a roll. Just hope it survives the air plane luggage.

The insert looks exactly the same...pure roll colors and all.

It's curious there isn't that much of a difference, I like the look.

Looks pretty cool. Would like to see it with the plastic off the grip.

So the only difference is the grip and length? How is the weight?

Yes the only difference is the grip and shaft length that I can tell...I have only seen pictures of the US model. The weight is similar to the Ghost Spider S CB that I have. I only rolled a few putts on my Tour Links and like the feel so far. I just got back to the house after flying for the last 13 hours.

The putter survived the baggage tussle from Tokyo to JFK. Here are the pictures after taking the packaging off.

One other difference was the price...14,000 yen or $140. To me that was the best difference.

I like that grip better than US model very nice price sounds good too
