Zero Torque has emerged as one of the biggest trends in the putting space. Has its popularity reached its peak, or is there still room for growth? Only time will tell. Wilson is betting the zero torque market still has room for more options, which is why the company is introducing two zero torque models to its Infinite putter lineup.
What are Zero Torque Putters?
For those unfamiliar with the concept of a ZT putter, it’s important to understand that these designs are not simply center-shafted models. Achieving true zero torque requires specific engineering considerations. To create the effect, the center of gravity must be positioned so that the axis of the shaft passes directly through it.
This configuration eliminates torque through the hands during the stroke and is designed to minimize face rotation, keeping the putter face square to the target line for a longer period. With a square face, golfers can expect to start the ball on line more consistently, leading to improved stability and performance.
“The new Zero Torque range represents a huge step in our popular Infinite putter lineup, giving golfers confidence and performance on every putt. The two putters offer a breakthrough in stability and precision engineering. By integrating zero torque technology with advanced MIM construction and a double-milled face, we’ve created mallet designs that not only look great at address but also deliver a remarkably consistent roll.”

Wilson Infinite Zero Torque Putter Features
During discussions about zero torque putters, the topic of shaft lean often comes up. Some brands have introduced models with up to 3° of shaft lean, which typically requires specialized grips and a different setup at address. However, the two new models released by Wilson feature a limited shaft lean of just 1°. Reduced shaft lean makes it easier to use a more traditional grip.
To further enhance the zero torque design, Wilson has also added a premium midsize grip to these putters, helping minimize face rotation throughout the stroke.
Both putter models utilize MIM, or Metal Injection Molding, a manufacturing process that allows for specialized shapes with precisely positioned mass—critical for achieving optimal performance. They feature a two-tone PVD finish that delivers a clean, anti-glare appearance, ideal for bright conditions.
For the face, Wilson continues to use its double-milled pattern, which enhances the premium aesthetic while providing a more consistent feel across the hitting surface.
Wilson Infinite Zero Torque Putter Models
The 606
Golfers who prefer a non-traditional shape will appreciate what the 606 offers with its winged mallet design.
Behind the ball, two alignment lines and a single dot help golfers line up their putts more effectively.
Despite appearances in photos, the 606 is more compact than expected, making it a compelling alternative to the larger zero torque models offered by other companies. Wilson states that this model is ideal for golfers who prefer a bit more structure in their setup.
Lakeview
Wilson designed the Lakeview with a half-moon mallet shape that shares a subtle resemblance to the Infinite Bean and South Side putters.
Compared to the 606, the Lakeview features a more understated alignment system, incorporating just a single alignment line for simplicity.
With its classic shape and minimal alignment aid, the Lakeview sets up well for golfers who are confident on the greens.
Pricing and Availability
Wilson’s new Zero Torque Infinite putters are now officially available for order. Both the 606 and Lakeview are offered in 34- and 35-inch lengths and are priced at $199.99. While this places them slightly above other models in the Infinite lineup, they remain significantly less expensive than many competing zero torque putters currently on the market.
