Wilson Staff 8862 Review

Good Points
Very uncomplicated at set up which allows you to focus on your putt and not the putter.

Bad Points
If you don't hit it on the insert, it won't quite roll with the speed you anticipated. It won't be bad...just a slight miss-hit.

General Comments
This is still the most graceful putter design in the history of the game. I never liked silly looking gadgets...I've always been a traditionalist when it comes to clubs. My irons are forged (Mizuno MP-60), my driver is very traditional (Titleist 905T) and my putter is still a blade (Wilson 8862). I tracked one down in England last year but lucky you, they are now here in the states! Made famous by Crenshaw & Trevino, the 8802 is now a bit friendlier with the insert and the 8862 may be your putter if you like the simple things when it comes to your game but like the modern feel of an insert. Make sure it says "Wilson Staff" and NOT "Wilson" when you buy. There is a huge difference in the quality.
