The Wilson Infinite Zero Torque The 606 putter is a clean looking Spider-style mallet with wonderful feel. The Wilson Infinite Zero Torque Lakeview putter offers players the benefits of zero torque in a more traditional shape. Both have good feel during the swing and above average distance control.
Introduction
Wilson is a company with decades of beautiful blade irons in their history, but the demands of the modern game require that they also offer modern, high performance sets like the DYNAPWR Forged [review HERE]. Similarly, in 2026, the company that brought us the 8802 needs to have some zero torque putter options. I tested both of the new Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters to see how the company has adapted to this new approach to flat stick design.
Looks
The Wilson Infinite Zero Torque The 606 is the more modern of the two shapes. While clearly taking some inspiration from the Spider shape, The 606 has a simple, clean aesthetic thanks to the all black finish. There are several levels for plenty of visual interest, and the combination of a sight dot and two sight lines provides ample help with alignment.
Wilson’s Lakeview putter is a pure, traditional mallet – save for the shaft placement. It has a moderate size and a symmetrical, round shape. This simple, clean shape is a welcome addition to the zero torque world where there’s an abundance of more modern, angular mallets. The milling in the recessed portion of the flange is not only cool to look at, it reinforces the alignment of the top line sight line.
Both putters stick to black and silver color palettes with shiny “INFINITE” branding across the leading edge of the sole. The model name is modestly sized above the iconic Wilson shield. Both soles feature a lot of blank space which creates nice balance against the bold branding. [See Price / Buy: Lakeview Putter]

Sound & Feel
Despite having the same double-milled face, the two Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters create very different sensations at impact. The Lakeview feels solid on well-struck putts and creates a quiet, metallic “tink.” It doesn’t ring, but it’s a more harsh sound than I expected from a traditional shape. On the plus side, the sound on center is very consistent, and there’s excellent audio feedback. When you move off center, the sound changes character noticeably.
Interestingly, despite having the more modern shape, The 606 putter has a more traditional feel. It’s medium soft, significantly softer than the Lakeview. This pairs well with a dull “thud” of an impact sound. There’s strong feedback through the hands. One standout note is that the heel of The 606 feels very dead, but toe misses feel quite lively.
Performance
As the name indicates, both of the Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters have “Zero Torque Technology.” They take a “conventional” approach to zero torque, inserting the shaft directly into the putter’s center of gravity rather than using an unusual hosel. This means that these putters are not only center shafted, the shaft inserts further back from the leading edge than is normal.
To offset this shaft placement, Wilson built one degree of shaft lean into this design. Per Wilson, this creates “proper hand positioning”. I spent a good amount of time with the Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters before reading the specs, and I wrote (inaccurately) in my notes “No shaft lean.” This may speak to the fact that one degree isn’t that much, that my natural forward press is more extreme, or that Wilson did an excellent job engineering the set up position. Regardless of the reason, these putters created a very comfortable address position for me. At no point was I thinking about the shaft lean or grip angle. [See Price / Buy: Lakeview Putter]

The Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters use a “midsize, multi-textured, no-taper grip” that does not have any “press” built into it. That means that, unlike other zero torque grips, the shaft goes straight in, not at an angle to compensate for the shaft lean. Overall, I found the round shape and medium size of the grip very comfortable and a natural fit for my “thumbs up” putting stroke.
In addition to being comfortable at address, both of the Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters felt great during the swing. We’ve found through Golf Myths Unplugged that zero torque putters tend to feel lighter than their traditional counterparts [more on that HERE]. The Infinite Zero Torque putters, however, felt very good to me – not too light, not too heavy. Particularly with the Lakeview, I knew exactly where it was during the stroke, and that led to solid distance control. Both putters also delivered on the zero torque promise of improved start line performance.
My only complaint about these putters is that the forgiveness is not strong. I expected this from the Lakeview given its traditional shape, but I was disappointed to see The 606 perform in this way. Once I got out to twenty feet or more, mishits left the ball meaningfully short of the cup. Both putters did keep the ball on line, but getting my intended distance required a good strike.

Conclusion
If you’re interested in trying zero torque but you want to keep a clean look and conventional feel, the Wilson Infinite Zero Torque putters are worth a look. I’m particularly impressed with the distance control and the feel for the club during the swing. Hopefully we’ll see Wilson continue to fill out this line with even more designs in the coming months.

Powered by Zero Torque technology, the Lakeview dramatically reduces face rotation throughout the stroke, keeping the putter square to the target longer for tour-caliber consistency. A midsize, multi-textured, no-taper grip minimizes wrist and hand rotation and pairs seamlessly with 1° of forward shaft lean to promote proper hand positioning.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for giving these a review. I know that I really enjoy my Buckingham, and it’s nice to see a competitively priced ZT putter. Even if it doesn’t check every box, it’s good to keep the competition on their toes.
You mentioned that it wasn’t very forgiving. Which ZT putters offered the most forgiveness for you?
The LAB DF3i is way up there. The Spider 5K is good, too.
Best,
Matt
Great review and pretty spot on. I purchased The 606 over The Lakeview due to the 606 having more weight to it. I feel I do less work in getting the ball rolling on the putt, which for me, promotes confidence. 3 putts are pretty nonexistent for me now and you can’t really beat the price point. I say give it a roll.
I’ve had a Lakeview in my hands for about 3 weeks and 6 or 7 rounds plus lots of practice green time. Overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase and especially at the price point. Having demos in both RH and LH was a selling point for this confirmed lefty. 99% of the putters in big box stores are RH and no matter how hard I try a L.A.B. or Odyssey RH demo – it’s not the same as trying a LH club.
I have found a few quirks over my O Works blade: distance control takes some getting used to which confirms your initial comments about it feeling light. Initially I was leaving putts way short, but that’s getting better. What really helped was your ‘thumbs off’ grip and letting the ZT do it’s thing.
I do have a few of suggestions should Wilson be interested: Reduce grip diameter and profile. I’m used to a SS Pistol Grip 1.0, slightly smaller and flatter sides which seems reasonable even with XL gloved hands. The Flatter sides would also encourage a more ‘thumbs off’ approach.
I would have liked the alignment line of the 606 on the Lakeview. And lastly, I’m willing to pay a few bucks more for magnetic vs. velcro closures on the head cover.
Great review Matt, You Absolutely Nailed everything in this review !!!!!
I’ve tried both putters, and have the 606, with 3 rounds now under my belt with it.
You mentioned things in here I knew subconsciously, but couldn’t quite elaborate on.
A few things I think Wilson really nailed with these putters that have had me hesitant to pull the trigger on ZT putters earlier:
1. The grip. I stock grip is quality, but I’m not sure it’s the right grip choice for me, or anyone really. No problem, since it goes straight in, you can ostensibly replace it with you grip of choice or comfort, unlike many others with the built in shaft lean into the grip.
2. The size. In each case, these are not monster sized like so many of the available ZT putters are!
It explains the bit of the lack of forgiveness you mentioned, but the ZT returning to square somewhat negates that. Much more appealing to me at least.
3. The price, of course. Great, great value here. Since I have mine all ready, I’d encourage anyone interested on a ZT putter to consider these.
I replaced the grip on my Lakeview with a smaller grip and it made a big difference in my putting stats
Hi Tony,
By “difference,” I assume you mean improvement. What changes in your putting resulted from the change to a smaller grip? And what model/style is that smaller grip?
