Have we just found the best value zero torque putter on the market? Wilson are well known for offering great value for money, but they may have just taken things to another level with the new Infinite ZT Putters.
This is an update to Wilson’s existing Infinite range, with two different zero torque models designed to offer more stability, better face control and a consistent roll on every strike.
The best part is the price tag, with an RRP of just £229, although you can already get it at less than £200, making it around half the price of the likes of a LAB, Odyssey S2S Tri-Hot, TaylorMade Spider ZT and PXG Allan.
I got my hands on both new models, Lakeview and The 606, to see how they performed.
Who Is It Aimed At?
Anyone who wants to try zero torque putters, but without having to break the bank. They continue on Wilson’s theme of providing great quality products that are packed with technology, but at a much lower price than the likes of Ping, Titleist, Callaway and TaylorMade.
There are two different models in the lineup – The 606 and the Lakeview. The 606 is a wing-style mallet with clear alignment lines, designed to provide confidence at address. The Lakeview is a half-moon mallet with a more simplistic design, promoting confidence whilst being easy to line up.
Zero torque won’t be for everyone, but there are two distinct models which offer different feel and completely different looks down by the ball.
If you’re somebody who is a decent putter, you may not need the extra technology that zero torque offers, but if you’re low on confidence and looking to try something new, the extra stability offered by these models could really help you get more consistency.

The Tech
Of course the main talking point in this range is the zero torque technology. The CG is positioned precisely so that the shaft axis passes directly through it, ensuring that there is virtually no torque on the hands during the stroke.
This minimises face rotation, keeping the putter more squarer to the target for longer to add more stability, get putts started on line more often, and be more consistent.
Each putter comes pre-set with one degree of forward shaft lean. This helps to encourage better hand positioning, helping golfers to deliver a square face during impact as well as a more natural feel.
Both models are made using a MIM construction. This technique allows for intricate, precise designs that are necessary for Zero Torque models. It allows for deliberate mass positioning and refined shaping, improving not only the look but the performance of the putters.
Rounding out the technology is a double-milled face pattern, delivering a smoother face to encourage more consistent feel and roll across the surface. The tour-inspired milling helps golfers with their distance control, and is said to keep putts on line even when not hit from the middle.
Finally, the putters come with a two-tone PVD anti-glare finish, said to give better focus and confidence at address. The coating is there to stop reflections and visual distractions, giving a better view of the ball and target line.
Wilson Infinite ZT Putters Review
Looks and Feel
As someone who has used an Anser-style blade putter for most of my golfing career, I have struggled in the past to get on with zero torque putters. I find that they can often be pretty bulky in shape, whilst the centre shafted configuration just doesn’t really suit my eye.
In terms of the overall looks, I was a fan of the new Infinite ZT though. I liked the clean black and white colourway, which looked premium and uncluttered.
These putters are bulky and full of tech, so in my opinion keeping the looks a little more understated is a good thing.
The new Wilson badge logo continues to be a big improvement, and whilst I think the ‘Infinite’ script is a bit overpowering, the overall look and finish of the putters is much more premium than the price tag suggests.
Down by the ball, you get a big friendly footprint from both heads which should provide plenty of confidence. There’s also clear alignment cues on the head, and some may find that the centre shaft can help to centre the ball in the middle of the face too.
You get a nice thick Wilson Premium midsize grip as standard. This is a bit thicker than I like ideally, although it does match with the overall size of the heads and helps to promote quieter hands through the stroke.
I was surprised by the level of difference between the two heads when it came to feel, and more specifically the sound.
The Lakeview, which is the half-moon shape, had a much louder and more tingy sound than the duller 606. Personally I preferred the sound of the 606, which was more muted and, combined with the firm feel off the face, seemed to be a bit more premium.
Performance
Both the Lakeview and The 606 putters come with a slight bit of shaft lean built in. This is not new from Wilson, but it did feel as if you could get the hands into a nice set position to encourage a consistent forward roll. Importantly it doesn’t feel too far ahead of the ball like you see on some putters, which can make me feel like I’m going to push putts sometimes.
Enjoyed the performance of the milled face in general – preferred this to an insert in a milled face. I tested the putters right at the end of March, when the greens were still not quite in top condition, and I was impressed by the performance of these putters.
I started out by hitting some longer putts on the putting green. The first thing I noticed was how consistent the distance control was, as even when I mis-hit putts they still seemed to make their way up closer to the hole than I might’ve expected.
Zero torque putters are designed to be ultra-stable and that’s exactly what these models delivered. The combination of the big head, the centre shaft and the thicker grip made it really easy to just trust the path of the putter head to do the work for you.
One thing that I did slightly struggle with was hitting putts that had quite a bit of slope on them. For some reason I actually found that because the putter doesn’t twist much, I found it harder to actually start the putt on the right line. This is probably because I’ve been using a blade and so have been used to a little bit of face manipulation on these breaking putts.
Wilson Infinite ZT Putters Verdict
Over the last few years, Wilson have produced great-performing clubs at really reasonable price points, including the likes of the Dynapwr Drivers and the new 2026 Staff Model irons.
With the new Infinite ZT Putters, I think they’ve done it again. You might not get the same level of face technology as the likes of Odyssey or TaylorMade’s zero torque offering, but there’s still plenty of stability and a great roll off the face too.
I preferred using The 606, as it had a slightly nicer shape which reminded me a little of the TaylorMade Spider ZT, and just had a nicer overall feel and sound compared to the Lakeview.
If you’re looking for a zero torque putter but don’t want to break the bank, you should definitely consider these models. Great work Wilson.
Would I Use It?
I’m still not fully sold on the idea of zero torque putters, but I did prefer the looks and feel of The 606, which is one of the best zero torque models I’ve tried.
