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.

The new Wilson Staff 8882 putter inspired by Crenshaw's 'Little Ben' putter It might have been made famous by Arnold Palmer, but it was Ben Crenshaw who helped bring the now-legendary 8802 putter. 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.

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.

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.

Unlike some, our reviews are unbiased because we’re not trying to sell anything. Instead, we’re just here to help you improve your game by giving you the information you need to make solid purchasing decisions.

Wilson Harmonized Putter Product Review

Before we review the popular Wilson Harmonized Putter, let’s talk a little about the brand behind the club – Wilson.

Wilson is the go-to brand for lovers of all sports, whether it be baseball, badminton, or our favorite – golf.

For over 100 years Wilson has been one of the top golf equipment brands – but don’t just take our word for it! The Wilson Staff Irons have won 61 major championships, which proves they are quality clubs.

Golfers love Wilson for lots of reasons, but the main reason golfers love Wilson is because of the wide range of high quality yet affordable golf equipment available, from golf clubs to gloves and bags.

The Wilson Harmonized Putter is no exception – this is a high-quality putter that’s great value for money, whether you’re just starting out, or if you’re a seasoned pro.

This putter has a variety of different models that you can choose from to get the best fit, so be sure to select the correct model for your size and style!

Performance

If you’re looking to improve your overall performance, then this putter is the perfect place to start, as it’s teeming with features that can help you knock points off your score.

Wilson has included horizontal lines on the putter head, which can hugely improve your alignment.

The alignment guides may be just what you need to perfect your shot and get the ball in the hole. If you’re a beginner, this feature should help boost the accuracy of your shot.

This putter also features a face insert. The micro-injection polymer face inset massively improves the feel upon contact with the ball, which can do wonders in improving accuracy.

That’s not the only feature that’s designed to improve the feel – there’s also a mid-sized vertical seam grip on the backside, which improves the feel throughout the stroke.

The putter has a thicker grip, which is great for keeping a stronghold of the club while putting. A good grip can do wonders for accuracy.

Please bear in mind that this putter is only suited to right-handed players – sorry to disappoint, lefties!

As the clubhead has an indented mallet style, one of the best parts (if you’re lazy, like me) is that you can pick the ball up from the green using the back of the putter

Appearance

A putter can be the most efficient, accurate putter in the world, but for most people, if it looks ugly, it isn’t an option.

Luckily, Wilson considered appearance when creating this putter, so you’ll certainly look like a pro-golfer if you have this club in your hands.

The stainless steel shaft looks super glossy and shiny, giving it a more modern look and feel.

The mallet-style clubhead also looks interesting, with a grey/black design with the white stripe and two vertical red stripes to help with alignment.

The color contrast helps you see if your stroke is in the best position, which is a must-have if you’re a beginner!

Summary
