About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the putter, which I tested for one day in December of 2022.
My take
I believe the Wilson Infinite Grant Park Putter is best suited for the mid to high-handicap player who wants to make more clutch putts under 10 feet. I love mallet putters and the look, feel, and consistency this putter has to offer will help improve one’s game.

How it performs
What I was looking for
I was looking at trying new mallet-style putters that offered a better feel on longer putts and more consistency on shorter putts 10 feet and closer.
Why I chose not to purchase this club
I didn’t buy the putter but spent 15+ minutes testing various putts. I found myself consistently lagging my 25-foot plus putts fairly regularly within two feet and consistently making 85% of my 10-foot and closer putts.
What I love about it
- Face Feel: The face was soft and allowed me to feel the connection with the ball, especially on longer putts, so I could better gauge my distance control.
- Length: The putter was 35 inches, which I prefer being 5’10’’.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The silver shaft with the matte black putter head is really sharp and drew my eyes toward the putter.
- Grip Feel: The grip was the standard Wilson grip that comes with it by default. It felt very comfortable in my hands because of its stickiness on long and short putts.
- Customization: There are different models of hosels, and I think it comes down to preference, but I enjoyed the single bend neck to the putter.
- Balance: The counterbalance design allows each putt to feel consistent off the face and can help with distance control.
Issues I’ve encountered
- Weight: The weight was too light at 355g, as I have always used 365g+ within my putters and felt like I wasn’t consistently bringing the putter straight back and through.
- Alignment: I prefer the solid one line on the top of the putter for alignment, so the three lines made me second guess if I was aligned correctly.
- Forgiveness: I felt the forgiveness was good as off-centered putts or putts not stuck in the center of the ball still rolled to where they should have.
Best Putt or Round with this Putter
I made my first two 15-foot putts with this putter, which gave me a quick bode of confidence.
Value for the money vs. other options
I think it performs well for its price. When I compared the Wilson Infinite The “L” and The Bean, I didn’t find a huge disparity other than the feel and the difference in weight. This was my only knock and would lean my preference toward one of the heavier mallet putters.
Final verdict
I believe this putter unlocks the potential for a more consistent feel. Putting is all about feel, and the Grant Park putter is a good option for the average weekend golfer to make more putts.
