Tour Edge Wingman 800 putters
Gear: Tour Edge Wingman 800 putters
Price: $169.99 each with Golf Pride Pro Only Midsize Pistol grip
Specs: Cast 304 stainless steel body with 431 stainless steel face, aluminum sole plate, internal vibration-dampening system, and high-visibility alignment stripes. Available in 34- and 35-inch lengths, right-hand only.
Available: April 15
Who it’s for: Golfers who want maximum stability and enhanced consistency on mis-hit putts.
What you should know: Tour Edge placed a greater emphasis on feel with the updated Wingman series, switching to a milled face and adding an internal Vibrcor piece, while keeping the stability and forgiveness high.
The deep dive: To make a putt, golfers need to blend two things: the ideal line and the ideal speed. If those two things don’t match up properly, the ball won’t go in the hole. With the release of the Wingman 800 putters, Tour Edge is trying to help golfers do those two things at a higher level.
Each of the three 800 Series putters has been designed with a dark-navy finish and a high-contrast, white alignment line on the top that is the same width as a golf ball. In the center of the white line is a dark line. The extended white line should make it easier for golfers at every level to point the face of the club directly down their intended target line and aim more effectively.
The Wingman 800 Series putters have also been designed with a new face. Previously, Wingman putters had a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) face insert that featured horizontal microgrooves, but the 800 Series has been made with a milled, 431 stainless steel insert that is backed by a piece of Vibrcor. If that name sounds familiar, you recognize it from Tour Edge’s irons. In the 800 Series putters, it does the same job – reduce excessive vibrations and enhance feel.
One thing that has not changed is the newest Wingman putters each have a high moment of inertia (MOI), so they resist twisting on off-center hits. Putts struck toward the toe and the heel should roll out nearly as far as center-hit putts.
The combination of enhanced feel and better performance on mis-hits should help golfers achieve better distance control and speed consistency.
The Wingman 800 Series putters come in three head shapes, and each putter is being offered in two hosel configurations:
- 801/802: This shape puts the most weight back and toward the heel and toe, creating a max-MOI design. The 801 has a short slant neck hosel for golfers who have a strong-arced putting stroke, while the 802’s double-bend hosel creates face balance for golfers who have a straight putting stroke.
- 803/804: These high-MOI mallets have a similar shape to the 801/802 but lack the back extensions. The 803 has some toe hang for players with an arced stroke, while the 804 is face-balanced.
- 805/806: These are high-MOI, blade-style putters. The extra mass in the toe and heel boosts stability. The 805 has moderate toe hang for strong-arc players, while the plumber’s neck hosel in the 806 is ideal for golfers with less arc in their putting stroke.
