Pros
Excellent value. Zero Torque technology available for just over £200, significantly cheaper than many competitors.
Very stable through the stroke, particularly with the Lakeview model.
Premium blackout aesthetic with black shaft and grip.
Great feel and soft acoustics from the double-milled face.
Strong alignment aids help golfers set up confidently.
Two head shapes available, giving golfers a choice between modern and traditional mallet styles.
The Lakeview offers a very natural setup position, making it easy to adjust to even if you’ve never used a Zero Torque putter.
Cons
The 606 shape may divide opinion, the modern winged design won’t appeal to everyone.
Alignment dot on the 606 may not suit golfers who prefer a cleaner look.
The 606 can feel slightly unnatural at setup initially, particularly with the forward shaft lean.
Both models can take a few putts to get used to if you are new to Zero Torque putters.
Some golfers may associate Wilson’s Infinite range with budget putters, even though these deliver higher quality than that perception.
In recent years, the world of putters has seen a growing trend toward designs that promise greater stability and improved face control. One of the most talked-about innovations is the concept of Zero Torque (ZT) a design philosophy aimed at reducing face rotation during the putting stroke. While several brands have explored this concept, the price tag has often been a barrier for golfers curious to try it.
That’s where the new Wilson Infinite ZT putter range enters the conversation.
Priced at just over £200, the 606 and Lakeview models aim to bring ZT technology to a wider audience. Many competing putters in this category can easily push north of £400, making Wilson’s offering particularly interesting for golfers who want to experiment with the concept without committing to a premium-tier investment.
But lower price doesn’t necessarily mean lower quality. In fact, Wilson has been pushing value across its equipment lineup this year, and the Zero Torque putters continue that theme, combining modern design, solid technology and a premium aesthetic at a much more accessible price point.
I recently spent some time testing both models on the greens to see how they stack up.
First Impressions and Design
At first glance, both putters share a clean blackout aesthetic that immediately gives them a premium feel. The black shaft and grip combination adds to that modern look, while the head finish keeps glare to a minimum in bright conditions.
Wilson has clearly leaned into a minimal, sophisticated design language here. There’s no unnecessary flash, just a confident, modern appearance that sits nicely behind the ball.
The lineup features two distinct head shapes:
606 – a modern mid-mallet with winged characteristics
Lakeview – a half-moon mid-mallet with a more traditional appearance
Both incorporate the same core technology, but visually they appeal to slightly different types of golfers.
What Is Zero Torque?
Before diving into the individual models, it’s worth understanding what Wilson is trying to achieve with this design.
Traditional putters tend to allow the face to open and close naturally during the stroke. That movement isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can introduce inconsistency if your timing isn’t perfect.
Zero Torque putters attempt to solve this by placing the centre of gravity in line with the shaft axis, reducing the putter’s tendency to twist during the stroke. The goal is to help the face stay square to the target line for longer, making it easier to start putts on line.
It’s a concept that has gained a lot of attention recently with putters like L.A.B, but Wilson’s approach aims to make the technology more accessible to everyday golfers.
Technology and Construction
Both the 606 and Lakeview share the same underlying technology package.
MIM Construction
Wilson uses Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) in the construction of these putters. This manufacturing method allows extremely precise shaping and consistent weighting throughout the head.
The benefit is improved balance and consistency, which is especially important in a putter where small variations can make a big difference.
Double-Milled Face
The putters also feature a double-milled face designed to deliver:
A softer feel at impact
More consistent roll
Better feedback off the face
During testing, this face design produced a very pleasing sensation, soft without feeling dull, and responsive enough to provide confidence on longer putts.
Forward Shaft Lean
Another key feature is the built-in forward shaft lean. This encourages golfers to set up with their hands slightly ahead of the ball, helping promote cleaner contact and improved roll.
While this can take a little getting used to, it plays a role in maintaining the intended face position throughout the stroke.
PVD Anti-Glare Finish
The PVD anti-glare finish not only looks good but also performs well in bright conditions. Combined with the blackout shaft and grip, it gives the putter a sleek, high-end appearance.
The Lakeview: Traditional Looks, Easy Performance
Of the two models, the Lakeview immediately stands out as the more traditional option.
Its half-moon mid-mallet shape is very familiar and sits beautifully behind the ball. For golfers who prefer a classic appearance but want some added stability, this design will likely feel instantly comfortable.
Visually, it’s also the cleaner of the two models. The single alignment line keeps the head uncluttered, which many golfers prefer when standing over a putt.
When I put the Lakeview into play, the first thing that stood out was how natural it felt at address. Unlike some zero torque designs that can feel slightly unusual, the Lakeview sets up in a way that feels very similar to a standard mid-mallet putter.
That familiarity translates into confidence.
The putter feels very stable through the stroke, and because it seems to sit naturally in its intended position at address, it’s easy to align and start rolling putts quickly.
For golfers who are curious about ZT technology but don’t want something that feels radically different, the Lakeview is likely the more approachable option.
In my testing, it was also the better performer overall. The combination of stability, clean visuals and easy setup made it the putter I gravitated toward most often.
The 606: A More Modern Interpretation
The 606 takes a slightly different approach.
Visually, it resembles a miniature version of the winged mallet putters that have become popular in recent years. The extended rear sections create a distinctive shape that provides additional stability and alignment cues.
While some golfers will love the modern design, it’s fair to say the 606 may divide opinion.
For me, it felt a little more “chalk and cheese” compared with the Lakeview. Some players will appreciate the unique look and alignment features, while others may prefer the cleaner simplicity of the Lakeview.
At address, the 606 also features multiple alignment aids, including lines and a central dot. Personally, I’m not a fan of dots on any putter, so that aspect wasn’t my preference visually.
Performance-wise, the 606 required a bit more adjustment at set up.
The forward shaft lean combined with the head shape meant it didn’t feel quite as natural to press the hands forward at address. Initially it felt like I was slightly fighting the setup position.
However, after hitting five or six putts, things started to settle down and the stroke became more comfortable.
That’s something worth noting: golfers who already play a zero torque style putter will probably adapt much more quickly than someone like me who typically uses a more traditional design.
Look and Feel Rating – 4/5
From an aesthetic standpoint, these putters deliver a lot for the price.
The blackout shaft and grip combination gives the putter a premium appearance, and the head finish looks classy behind the ball.
Alignment lines are typical of modern putters and provide clear visual guidance.
The only small drawback for me is the alignment dot on the 606, which isn’t something I personally enjoy seeing on a putter.
In terms of feel, however, Wilson has done an excellent job. The double-milled face provides a soft yet responsive impact, and the acoustics are pleasantly muted without feeling dull.
Considering the price point, the feel and sound are genuinely impressive.
Score: 4/5
Performance Rating – 3.5/5
Performance will ultimately depend on how comfortable you are with the Zero Torque concept.
For me, the Lakeview was the standout performer. Its natural setup position and stable stroke made it easy to adapt to, even without previous ZT experience.
The 606, while stable and capable, took a little longer to adjust to. The setup position felt slightly unusual at first, particularly with the forward press.
That said, once you spend some time with it, the design begins to make more sense.
Golfers who are already comfortable with zero torque putters might easily rate the performance even higher.
Score: 3.5/5
Value Rating – 5/5
This is where the Wilson Infinite ZT putters really shine.
With many ZT designs priced well above £400, having an option at just over £200 is extremely refreshing.
Wilson has managed to deliver:
Modern design
Solid technology
Premium aesthetics
Great feel and acoustics
All at a price that makes experimenting with the technology far less intimidating.
Wilson’s Infinite range has historically represented the brand’s more budget-friendly putter lineup, and some golfers may initially associate that with lower expectations.
However, golfers should absolutely look past that assumption. These putters offer genuine quality and plenty of performance for the money.
Score: 5/5
Final Verdict
The Wilson Infinite ZT putter range successfully delivers something that hasn’t got a lot of offering in the market: an accessible entry point into ZT technology.
The Lakeview stands out as the more versatile option thanks to its traditional shape and easy setup, making it ideal for golfers curious about zero torque designs but hesitant to move too far from a familiar look.
The 606, meanwhile, offers a more modern aesthetic and stronger alignment features that will appeal to players who like contemporary mallet designs.
Both models deliver excellent feel, soft acoustics and a premium blackout finish, all wrapped into a package that represents outstanding value.
If you’ve been interested in trying a zero torque putter but didn’t want to spend £400 or more, Wilson has created a compelling alternative.
And when you combine the performance, aesthetics and price point, these putters are absolutely worth exploring. Let us know your thoughts in the comments or check out more reviews!
