Isee a lot of kids at tournaments with the spider. After some search, seems they dont actually make this in junior specs. Do I need to find one and cut it down to go that route? Does cutting down a putter screw up weight and balance etc?

My daughter was playing with one at RD and loved it - full size - so she got one for xmas. I let her pick out her own grip and then we got it cut and bent to fit her. Its an amazing putter for her. Enough weight to be stable but unbelievably forgiving. We have never really had any lessons on her putting, just basic setup, and she lines her own putts and drains more inside of 10' than most of the guys I play with. the Spider just shoots straight, no matter where on the face she hits it.


As your kids get older look into doing a putter fitting. My daughter is 13 now, but we did a putter fitting through Club Champion when she was 12. They spent almost 2 hours with her analyzing her stroke on the Sam putting lab and then finding the right putter for her. I came away knowing why she aimed the putter to the right, what her putter path was, etc. You then no for sure that you have the right putter for your stroke. It has made a big difference for her. Up until then, we used more a mid-mallet style odyssey putter and just cut it down. Her coach added weight back to the head with lead tape to make up for the loss of weight when you cut the putter down.


Spider Junior High, also known as The Real Story of Itsy Bitsy Spider, is the eleventh episode of the series HBO Storybook Musicals that aired on October 16, 1991. It is also the second episode of the "The Real Story of..." series by Cinar. The episode is based on the nursery rhyme Itsy Bitsy Spider.


Inside a high school, lies Spider Junior High behind the walls where the spiders are. A band self-claimed the Three Bad Bugs is about to sing a song in the hallway when a little spider named Itsy Bitsy, which he shortens to I.B., interrupts by playing the piccolo, informing the band that they promised him to try out for them, but they pretend he's a basketball and toss him up to the ceiling where he hangs onto a wooden plank, which makes him comment that he's scared of heights.


The Spiderology teacher is out sick, which results in the principal, Miss Widow, substituting, causing the class to be enjoyed. She goes over the three essences of Spiderology. Wanda answers "spin", I.B. answers "scurry", and both Carlo and Spinner try to guess what the third one is, however, I.B. answers it and it is "scare". Widow then states it's time for spider history, which at first makes the class groan with boredom, but they lighten up when she puts in a video telling the story of Little Miss Muffet which tells about the story of "A. Spider", a historic rap hero. During lunchtime, Carlo comes up with an idea that will make the three of them go into history books, I.B. overhears them and wants to come, but he tells him that no shrimps are allowed. I.B. thinks that if he got them on video, they'll thank him later on. The three bugs venture to a lock that takes them to the human school, but Carlo' friends think that this isn't such a good idea. They catch I.B. recording them when Carlo gets an idea. He takes advantage of his size and asks him to pick the lock to unlock it, and he bribes that if he does it, he can play with the band Friday night. I.B. hops up into the lock and unlocks it, giving them access to the human high school. They get to the other side of the hall, dodging the big feet of the students when the bell rings, and even more, students pass by. The gang climbs up the wall to get to the vent above, then they find a classroom that is taking a test.


The Bad Bugs get to the ceiling while they tell I.B. to stay at the vent to record. Carlo tells his two pals that he'll go down, but Zeke and Spinner detest this and question why he's going to do it and claim they are better. After they try to scare each other, Carlo says they all can go down. They reel down to a girl and attempt to scare her, but when she looks up after the teacher says five more minutes, she yells and disrupts the class. A boy, however, spots the three spiders and puts them in a jar, which another boy named Bruno takes. I.B. knows he has to do something but is too scared. Nevertheless, he makes his way down with his web, but it breaks and he lands in front of Brenda, causing her to be scared again. The teacher comes by Bruno and asks what he has behind his back. I.B. gets to his finger and bites it, causing the jar to go flying as well as I.B. The teacher takes the jar and puts it on her desk and dismisses the class, and I.B. also makes it to the desk. The three bugs are running out of air inside the jar.


I.B. gets an idea and goes out for help. When the teacher exits the room, he grabs onto a thread on her shirt to make it back to the water fountain to get back to the spider school, but when he flies over there he lands onto a runner's shoe, so he takes him outside where it is raining. I.B. attempts to make it back inside by climbing up the water spout, but the rain comes down and washes the spider out. About ready to give up, the sun comes out, so he climbs up again and makes it to the window. He gets to the jar as the spiders are about ready to faint. I.B. comes up with a way to get a wind-up dinosaur to move, by rolling a baseball down to a wooden plank that gets the key to turn, making it move the jar to the ledge of the table. I.B. pushes it off and it breaks, saving the unconscious bugs. The Three Bad Bugs, now with I.B. as the newest member, perform their musical number for Spider Junior High.


The Alfa Romeo Spider (105/115 series) is a two-seater, front-engined, rear-drive roadster manufactured and marketed by Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1994 in four distinct generations, or "series", each with modifications ranging from modest to extensive.[3]


In 2012, FCA Italy and Mazda studied the possibility of jointly developing a new Spider for 2015 based on the Mazda MX-5 platform.[4] Ultimately, FCA and Mazda chose to manufacture a modern interpretation of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider rather than reviving the Alfa Romeo Spider.[5][6]


In 1962, Alfa Romeo introduced the new 105 Series Giulia, which first complemented and then replaced the 101-series Giulietta. The sport variants of the Giulietta remained on sale for several more years, upgraded to the Giulia's 1.6-litre engine and rebadged Giulia, until analogous variants of the new models were ready.


Thus, the Giulietta-based Giulia Spider 1600 and Giulia Spider Veloce were produced from 1962 to 1965 and from 1963 to 1965, respectively.[7] The Alfa Romeo Spider was based on Giulia mechanicals, including its Alfa Romeo twin cam inline-four, independent front and solid axle rear suspension, and unibody construction, incorporating the relatively new principles of crumple zones into the front and rear. Following the evolution the other Giulia sport variants, the Spider was powered by a 1.6 L engine, later received a 1750 cc, then a 1300 cc, and finally a 2000 cc engine. Unlike any other Giulia derivative, it was upgraded and continued to sell through four decades, into the 1990s.


As for its predecessor the Giulietta Spider, the Italian firm of Pininfarina was responsible for the design, manufacturing of the body, and final assembly. The 1600 Spider was the last project in which founder Battista Pininfarina was involved.[8][9] Design director of Pininfarina at that time was Franco Martinengo.[10]


The 1963 Giulia GT Spider was intended as a replacement for the Pininfarina-designed Giulia Spider. Centro Stile Alfa Romeo and Bertone presented a proposition for a two-seater sports car that was developed between 1962 and 1963. Chassis type 105.03 was the same as the future "Duetto" Spider. The car was designed by Ernesto Cattoni and realised by Bertone. The overall style was very similar to the Giugiaro-designed, coup version of Giulia, but on a shorter chassis. The car never went into production and remained a prototype, bearing serial number 002.[11]


The original 1966 Spider shape was the result of a number of Pininfarina design studies, concept cars showing traits incorporated in the final production design.[12] The first one was the Alfa Romeo Superflow, a concept car built on the chassis of a retired 6C 3000 CM racing car and first shown at the 1956 Turin Motor Show, designed by Aldo Brovarone.[12] Despite being an aerodynamic coup with prominent fins on the rear, and a futuristic all-plexiglas greenhouse and front wings, the Superflow already showed the overall body shape of the future Spider and the scallops on the sides.


In the following years the Superflow was updated three times into three more different concept cars, namely a Superflow II coup, then an open-top spider and finally another Superflow IV coup. The most significant in the Spider's design history was the second, the open-top Alfa Romeo Spider Super Sport, shown at the 1959 Geneva Motor Show.[12] It did without the rear fins of the Superflow and Superflow II, showing for the first time the rounded cuttlebone-shaped tail and tail light configuration of the Spider.[12] Last of the Spider's forerunner was the Giulietta Sprint Speciale-based Alfa Romeo Giulietta SS Spider Aerodinamica, which premiered at the 1961 Turin Motor Show.[12][13] It was similar in shape to the production car, but for hideaway headlamps.


Despite the almost final design being ready in 1961, the continuing success of existing models and the economic challenges facing Italy at the time meant that the first pre-launch production Spiders began to emerge from the Pininfarina production line only at the end of 1965.[13]
