The Wilson Staff Model TM22 putter is one of the two mallet putter shapes in this premium range of heads. Milled from a block of 304 stainless steel, the TM22 exudes class and uses different milling patterns to highlight different parts of the head.

At address the milled lines on the top of the two fangs darkens the appearance of these parts of the heads, which then contrasts with the leading edge to create an alignment aid. There is also a short black line behind the centre of the face and also two longer lines either side of the central space. They are quite subtle and could stand out more, so it is really the shape of the fangs and central space that provides the perpendicular alignment aid to contrast with the leading edge.

The Wilson Staff Model TM22 is a tried and trusted shape with a face balanced design that makes it one of the most forgiving putters in this category. Compared to other putters of this style the head looks a little on the compact side behind the ball, but played a little bigger than it looks.

Topping it all off is leather style headcover and an excellent Lamkin Deep Etch grip that comes in grey or a choice of 3 other colours.
