Wilson Staff Infinite Bucktown Putter

Blade Putter

Wilson doesn't get talked about much in the putter conversation, and the Staff Infinite Bucktown is a good example of why that's a mistake. This is a blade built for players who swing the putter on a noticeable arc, and Wilson leaned into that with a full toe hang design that wants to open and close through the stroke. It's part of the Infinite line, named after Chicago neighborhoods, and it carries the counterbalanced build that defines that family.

The Bucktown pairs a compact blade head with a heavier overall weight and a longer standard length than a traditional putter. That extra mass up top and in the grip end quiets the hands. If you get twitchy over short ones or fight a stroke that feels rushed, the counterbalance gives you something to hang onto and swing rather than steer.

There's no alignment line on the top, which tells you who this is aimed at. Bucktown asks you to trust your eyes and the shape of the head instead of a paint aid. For a golfer with a natural arc and a decent sense of aim, that's not a drawback. It's a cleaner look at address and one less thing pulling your focus.

Design

The head is milled with a face designed to firm up the strike and give a consistent roll off a matte, glare-free finish. Wilson kept the topline clean with red accents against the darker body, so it frames the ball without shouting at you. The blade shape sits square and simple, no fins or wings, just a classic profile that traditionalists will recognize immediately. What sets the Bucktown apart from a standard blade is the counterbalanced setup. The head is heavier than a typical putter and the weighting extends into the grip, which moves the balance point up the shaft. Combined with the full toe hang, the whole club is tuned for a golfer who releases the putter naturally through impact rather than holding the face square with the arms.

Who It's For

• You putt with an arc stroke and want a head that hangs toe-down to match it.
• Fast or nervy hands have cost you strokes, and a counterbalanced build could settle the motion.
• A clean topline with no alignment line suits your eye better than a busy sightline.
• You like a compact blade shape but want more head weight than a standard model gives you.
• Value matters to you, and you'd rather spend on a solid putter than chase a brand-name premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of stroke fits the Wilson Infinite Bucktown?

It has full toe hang, so it's built for a strong arc stroke. If your putter face opens on the way back and closes through impact, this head is designed to work with that motion. Straight-back-straight-through putters will find it harder to keep square and are better off with a face-balanced mallet.

Why is the Bucktown heavier and longer than a normal putter?

It's counterbalanced. Wilson adds weight to both the head and the grip end, which raises the balance point and typically comes with a slightly longer build. The extra mass calms the hands and helps stabilize the stroke, which is the whole point of the design.

Does the Bucktown have an alignment aid?

No. The topline is clean with no sightline or dot. You aim using the shape of the head and your own read. Some players prefer this because it removes clutter at address, but if you rely on a line to line up putts, that absence takes some getting used to.

How does the Wilson Infinite compare to more expensive blades?

The Bucktown gives you a milled face, a counterbalanced build, and a clean blade shape at a price well under the big-name premium putters. You give up some of the tour polish and resale cachet, but the performance fundamentals are there. It's a strong value pick for an arc putter.

Can I get the Bucktown in a shorter length if the counterbalance feels too long?

The counterbalanced design works best at its standard longer length, since that's what the grip weighting is tuned for. You can have it cut down, but shortening it removes some of the counterbalance benefit. If you want a short blade, a non-counterbalanced model is a better starting point.
