Wilson unveils new Staff Model putter line-up

Wilson Golf has unveiled a new range of four stylish Staff Model putters, delivering exceptional feel and performance-balanced weighting for ultimate control on the greens. 

They include a modern version of the iconic Wilson 8802 putter – one of the most famous and successful putters in the history of tour golf – as well as the TM22 (Tech Mallet), MT22 (Mallet), BL22 (Blade) lines.

All four models are 100% precision-milled with exceptionally tight tolerances to provide the perfect combination of stability and forgiveness. Three of the designs also feature heel-to-toe weighting for the ultimate feel and roll on the greens.

The latest 8802 putter takes its inspiration from the original classic model, with a shaft over hosel design for smooth, seamless transition from shaft-to-head at address. The putter face features horizontal flywheels to help contact with the ball, supported by a skimmed milled surface on the back.

Eagle eyed observers would have noticed this vintage style putter making an appearance at the 2024 Masters, in the hands of a certain Tiger Woods. The 15-time major champion had the putter out as he walked the course for a practice round, but it’s unlikely to be in the bag for any competitive game time.

Instead, Woods is using it as a training aid, something he’s done in the past. He’s previously said that the design helps him to feel toe release in his putting stroke.

“I really do practice with my 8802 probably the most because I like feeling that toe release and I like putting with my right hand,” Woods said back in 2020. “That’s basically my training aid, and then I went to a longer putter to get more reps in.”

If it’s good enough for Tiger to use in practice, then why not give it a shot for your own game?

The TM22 is a popular double-fang mallet with a slant neck design for maximum forgiveness and stability. It also features a high MOI with a three-quarter shaft offset and moderate toe hang.

The elegant MT22 is a half-round mallet with a short slant neck design and medium toe-hang. Along with the TM22 and BL22, the MT22 offers two weight finishes of either a machine finished outer edge, or a machine-watched bezel edge around the 10g weight at the toe and heel.

Last but by no means least, the BL22 is a tour-proven blade style putter with a Plumber’s Neck hosel design for a clean set-up and alignment to the ball, plus a medium toe-hang and a full shaft offset at address.

Each Staff Model putter comes in a 3.0˚ loft, 71˚ lie angle and a choice of three lengths: 33”, 34” and 35”.

The latest Staff Model putters will be available in limited quantities from October 2022 with a KBS Tour 120 shaft and a Lamkin Deep Etch grip which features a softer-feeling Genesis Material enhancing the user performance. Available in black, red, blue or grey.

The TM22 and BL22 are available in a left-handed option.

Custom fit loft, lie and length options are available with SuperStroke grip choices. Each Staff Model putter has an RRP of £370.
