Okay, I'm a fan of the limited edition stuff. 
I've purchased at least one "limited edition" driver in my life. I've got 3 different pairs of limited edition True LinksWear Shoes. So, I would say I'm pro-limited edition golf equipment. But for some reason, this one just doesn't do it for me. 

Firstly, this putter (regular edition) is now selling everywhere for ~$199. But this version is 500 bucks. The other issue is it just doesn't seem unique or interesting enough to make me say "Wow".

Am I wrong? What do you all think? Would you be interested in a Limited Edition Dustin Johnson Masters Inspired Putter? Let me know.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I don't get it at all, just seems like an overpriced Spider. But I don't collect golf stuff, so maybe there is something about this that a collector would want.

What will this putter mean to you in 1, 2, or 3 years from now? Will it hold it's value?

No.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Nice, very puny.

I like DJ as much as the next guy. But in a couple years are we going to be looking back at his Masters' win as "One for the ages"? I don't really think so. 

So, unless you are just the biggest DJ fan out there, or for what ever reason the 2020 Masters really meant something special to you. I don't feel like this Spider is "Special" enough. 

Oh, and one other thing. 
The Taylormade Spider putters are notorious for the paint chipping. If you buy this putter to be used on the course, it might be kind of sad to watch it's paint slowly deteriorate over time.

I’m not fond of the look either. Looks like the tail end of a 50’s Chrysler.

I gamed a TM Ardmore, similar to the one Tiger used for a bit, and the red paint started chipping off prematurely. TM definitely has paint issues, imo.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
