THE OFF SEASON is a great time to order new equipment and practice with them, so you are ready when the time comes to take them out on the golf course.

Chicago based Wilson Golf in 2014 in honor of it’s centennial year, has introduced or reintroduced a few items to it’s product lines.

One club that has a lot of history to it, is the famed Wilson Staff 8802 Putter. The 8802 was introduced in 1962 and won a major championship shortly thereafter, as a result it became very popular. As a result it didn’t take long for other companies to create putters that were “inspired” by the 8802. But to honor the success of the putter in Wilson’s centennial year, the company has crafted a retooled version of the 8802.

THE WILSON CLASSIC 8802 PUTTER

The putter was designed with the same heel-shafted head shape, the new head weight is 335 grams to more accurately fit todays green styles, speeds, and ball construction. Unlike the original putter, the current model is milled from 304 stainless steel for ultimate feel with a double-milled facing for true roll.

The new True Temper Head Speed shaft is shapeless and fluted for outstanding feel with a flared tip design that melts into the hosel. The grip and sole on the putter commemorate Wilson’s centennial anniversary.

A red, white and golf head cover has been created to fit with the look of the club.

WILSON GOLF did not stop with just putters. The new creation is the new line of distance woods, the new D200 Superlight. These new clubs will be set for a January of 2015 release. The technology is being called “The Right Light”, and it’s set for distance players that are seeking distance and more accuracy.
