Wilson Staff Model BL22 Putter Review: First Impressions

From the first glance, the BL22 exudes class. The clean, compact head shape and subtle milling lines scream premium quality. Straight off the rack, this putter commands attention, I don’t think it would look out of place next to a Scotty Cameron.

For me, a large part of that premium appeal comes from being 100% precision milled from a single block of 304 stainless steel, giving it a consistent, ultra-soft feel.

Wilson has even nailed the little things when it comes to the BL22 putter. The thick magnetic headcover, though performance-neutral, adds a tangible sense of value.

NCG Verdict

On the course, the BL22 delivers. It’s a heavier putter than some others I have tested, something that took a few holes for me to adjust to, especially on pacey greens. But once I was dialed in, it provided exceptional feedback and stability. The small, thin sightline aids alignment without distraction, and the weight helps promote a smoother stroke on both short and long-range putts.

The milled face, combined with the softness of the 304 stainless steel, offers a buttery feel at impact that is crisp yet soft, with a satisfying sound that seasoned players will appreciate. The putter rolls the ball consistently, giving players confidence from all distances.

Wilson has also included other features like interchangeable weight ports on the sole, allowing players or fitters to tailor swing weight and feel. It also comes fitted with a high-quality KBS shaft, which provides the ideal balance of stiffness and feedback to help maintaining consistency across the putting stroke.

The grip, a small pistol-style option, complements the head shape and weight nicely, catering to players who prefer more traditional, hands-on connection with the putter.

Final Verdict

Overall, I think the Wilson Staff Model BL22 is nothing short of a triumph. It proves that world-class craftsmanship and elegant design don’t have to come with an eye-watering price tags. If you’re after a milled blade that rivals the best in the game without spending a fortune then I believe this should be on your shortlist.

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
