Rossa Itsy Bitsy Monza Spider Putter

Just like the original Rossa Monza Spider, only smaller? Almost, but not quite.

TaylorMade's Rossa Itsy Bitsy Monza Spider putter is, at a glance, just a smaller version of the original. The Itsy Bitsy is 20-percent smaller than the Monza Spider, to be exact. It's a mid-sized, rather than an oversized, mallet.

But the Itsy Bitsy does have a couple differences, beyond its smaller size, that show up on closer examination:

  • The "wings" - where the Moveable Weight Cartridges are located and used to adjust weight and feel - don't stick out as much on the Itsy Bitsy.
  • The alignment decal on top of the Itsy Bitsy putter head is an abbreviated version of the "full-court alignment" decal on the original. Hence, TaylorMade refers to this one as the "half-court alignment" decal.
The Rossa Itsy Bitsy Monza Spider has the same steel wire-frame head construction as the original, larger putter; an aluminum core; and the Moveable Weight Technology ports on the wings. Combined, these features allow for the repositioning of weight around the perimeter, pulling the center of gravity rearward and increasing MOI.

The Rossa Itsy Bitsy Monza Spider from TaylorMade will carry an MSRP of $240 when it becomes available at retail on Oct. 24, 2008. (next page)
