  1. Head Design - Concerning the head designs of putters, there are putters with a relatively small head like the classic blade putters, developed in the 1900's and still in use today. Other putters feature flat heads, much like the Wilson Blade putter, making it usable on many types of greens.
  2. Wilson Infinite South Side Putter Review. The choice of Wilson Staff tour star Padraig Harrington and a putter he used to claim PGA Tour victories. The South Side is a mid-mallet and features the shaft in the centre of the club head. As a result this one may not be suited to certain golfers who like to see face on ball through the putting stroke.

FIRST LOOK: PXG's Blackjack putter delivers stability and consistency By: Jonathan Wall October 8, 2020 PXG's Blackjack is the first release in the company's new Battle Ready Collection. 'The Wilson Black Jack VII is a great putter with.' Written on: by NewGunner (9 reviews written) The Wilson Black Jack VII is a great putter with excellent weight distribution. Good quality grip. Forgiving and with easy alignment. Black jack bitumen paint drying time chart. If you're looking to save money, the Wilson Augusta Putter has a simple, classic blade design that is a nice change of pace in putters. Another inexpensive putter is the Ray Cook SR500 Putter. This model has more of a modern mallet design, using a wide head to help with the balance of the stroke.

Specs: Milled aluminum body with tungsten weights

When it comes to putting, the name of the game is to have good aim, a repeatable stroke and solid distance control. With the release of the new Blackjack mallet, PXG believes it can help golfers improve in all three of those areas.

Looking down at the Blackjack at address, golfers will see a long white alignment line set against a matte black body, making it easier to square the face to the player's intended path.

By designing the head using a frame made from aerospace-grade aluminum, PXG engineers saved a significant amount of weight. That allowed them to reposition and concentrate more weight in the back heel and toe areas in the form of tungsten bars and in a back section. As a result, the center of gravity is pulled back away from the hitting area, the moment of inertia increases and the Blackjack resists twisting on off-center hits more effectively. That means even a putt struck outside the center of the face has a better chance to roll along the intended target line.

The hitting area is covered with a variable-depth groove pattern that is packed more tightly in the center. According to PXG, packing more shallow grooves in the center and deeper grooves toward the heel and toe normalizes speed off the face to produce better distance control.

Each Blackjack putter has four weight ports in the sole that allow fitters to increase or decrease the swing weight of the club based on its length and a golfer's preferences. The Blackjack is also available with three hosel configurations (heel-shafted, plumber's neck, double bend), and an arm-lock version of the putter also is available.

A lot of people don't think of Wilson when it's time to look for a new putter. But Wilson putters have been around for a long time. In fact, some of the most successful putters in the history of golf have been Wilson putters.

Arnold Palmer and Ben Crenshaw won dozens of PGA Tour events using them. I won't go into that here, but you can read the details in our review of the Wilson 8802 putter on another page of this site. That particular putter was a 'money club' for sure.

So, with that kind of history, how come Wilson's putters tend to get skipped over when people are buying new golf equipment? I'm not really sure, because the putters I've tested (we have several reviews of Wilson putters posted elsewhere on this site) have met or exceeded my expectations. Most of them are pretty reasonably priced, too – especially when you compare them to the putters being sold by Scotty Cameron, Odyssey, PING and some of the other name-brand companies.

I'm always for the underdog, and right now Wilson putters seem to be exactly that. So, here's some very basic information on the putters that Wilson Sporting Goods currently offers. If you want more details, we've posted reviews of specific putters here on checkyourgolf.com, and we encourage you to read through as many of them as sound interesting.

Let's start with a quick look at the Wilson Staff Vizor putter. It's an unusual-looking mallet putter which uses an ingenious design to put to work a proven theory: if a golfer's eyes are 'locked onto' and directly over the putting line, he or she will putt more consistently and a higher percentage of putts will fall. The Wilson Staff Vizor putter uses an integrated alignment system Wilson calls 'I-Lock Technology' to help golfers align their eyes (and the putter) properly. In a nutshell, it consists of a silver and red alignment aid which indicates precisely when your eyes are aligned correctly – and when they're not. You'll need to read our review of the Wilson Staff Vizor putter to learn more about this clever system and the other features of the club. Lakeside inn & casino stateline nv.

But Wilson offers more putters than just the Wilson Staff Vizor putter. Unfortunately, the company doesn't give its other putters catchy, memorable names. For some reason or another, Wilson just gives its other putters four-digit numbers as 'names.' All those numbers start sounding alike, even if the putters themselves are different. But that's one of the advantages of reading our Wilson putter reviews: we can help you keep all the different models straight. You'll see what I mean in just a second.

In addition to the Wilson Staff Vizor putter, Wilson's putter lineup includes the following models: the Wilson Staff 8881 BLK, the Wilson Staff 8882 BLK, the Wilson Staff 8883 BLK, the Wilson Staff 8884 BLK, the Wilson Staff 8885 BLK, and the Women's Wilson Staff 8885 BLK. I suppose those must be Wilson's catalog numbers for the putters, but I think the company should hire someone creative to give them more distinctive, memorable names!

There's just nothing about the name '8884 BLK' that helps anyone understand – or remember – how it differs from the '8883 BLK' or any of the other putters. All I can get from those 'names' is that the putters probably have a black finish (they do). You can't even tell if they're blades, mallets or some other putter design.

As it turns out, one of those Wilson putters (the Wilson Staff 8881 BLK) is a blade, while another (the Wilson Staff 8882 BLK) has the classic shape of the Wilson 8802. The Wilson Staff 8883 BLK and Wilson Staff 8884 BLK are semi-mallet putters, and the Wilson Staff 8885 BLK and its women's version both use full mallet designs. But the names are still hard to remember.

We're stuck with those names because that's what Wilson wants to use. But reading our reviews of various Wilson putters can help you identify which specific clubs you might want to try and possibly buy. We encourage you to bookmark the reviews of the putters that you find interesting, because they'll help you remember their particular designs, features and characteristics.
