Wilson's Infinite ZT Lakeview costs budget money and putts as if nobody told it. In a zero-torque test of 26 putters it was the best of the lot from short range, and only three models beat it overall.
What's new
The Lakeview is a half-moon mallet from Wilson's Infinite Zero Torque range, released in March 2026. It comes all black, with a double-milled face instead of an insert and a single short line on top for aim.
Wilson sets the Infinite Black steel shaft at 1 degree of forward lean and finishes it with a midsize, no-taper grip. Men's models come in 34 and 35 inches, women's and left-handed versions are offered, and it has already picked up a best budget putter award from an independent reviewer.
How it plays
On short putts, nothing in the field beat it. A 26-model zero-torque test scored each putter on a putting handicap scale, where a more negative number is better, and the Lakeview's -9.0 from that range topped all of them.
Its overall -7.5 ranked fourth, and long putts held up nearly as well at -7.4. Accuracy earns a 9 from us, while forgiveness and feel get an 8 apiece. Set against what Wilson charges, those results push value to 9 as well.
Where it lacks
Things go wrong from medium range. Its -4.3 there falls well short of what it manages close in or from distance, a gap that a fourth-place overall finish partly hides.
We rate distance and workability at 7 apiece, a notch under everything else here. Fitting options are thin as well: anyone who plays a putter outside 34 or 35 inches gets no stock men's length.
“It costs budget money and out-putted 25 other zero-torque models from short range. Hard to argue with that.”- The Club Stand gear team
