Wilson Staff 8881 Blade Putter Review

2011 Review

George was impressed with the sound and the feel, especially as he hadn’t associated Wilson with wands. Alex liked the shape and feel. Chris struggled from short distance, and felt it was a little unforgiving.

2010 Review

A bit of a mixed bag for the 8881; Tom couldn’t get his head around the alignment aid and he thought it actually took quite a lot away from the putter and Chris really struggled to keep the head square at impact. But Jon actually liked the alignment aid, and Mike said he was very comfortable with it as it felt a little lighter than some of the others. It’s worth noting the impressive performance over long distance.

The Wilson Staff 8881 Putter is a good long distance putter and is a precision milled heel-and-toe weighted putter with a plumber hosel.

It features Wilson's Visual Plane Differential alignment technology to help position eyes directly above the putting target line for a more consistent strike and soft polymer VRAD grips with a step-less barrel shaft for improved feel and feedback.

The 8881 also features a dual milled face - The first pass milling operation ensures a flat face for consistency and secondary master grooves are then added to promote forward spin and reduce skid after impact.

The arched shape of these secondary grooves imparts a slight side spin on heel and toe impacts, helping to bring the ball back on line.
