Wilson Milled 8802 - Going back in time sort of!
theothertwo ·


Such a simple and classic design but with some modern modifications. This putter is so sweet, never really used one before. I learned with a Bullseye and then moved to a Ping Anser 3. This kinda reminds me of the Bullseye I had. No alignment aid, find the sweet spot.
Why does this design work so well?
Also experimenting with a Best Grips leather grip, a little fatter and less tackier than my usual Ping Man grip so it takes getting used to. Good quality leather grip.

And then I give up on these things because everything inside 5 feet is freaking impossible to make without some kind of alignment aide. They sure do look sweet though and for some reason I keep buying them.

Love the simplicity and lack of “thought” now associated with my putting.
That said when it’s not pure she ain’t happy and isn’t shy on making this known.

Good enough for Ben Crenshaw, hold it lightly and let it swing back and forth. Thanks for the feedback.

I bought that same putter when they released it four or five years ago. I love the feel and the look but I just didn’t make many putts with it. Switched to a 50 year old Bullseye for a while and then snagged an Odyssey O-works #7. I make a lot more 6-10 footers than I used to and my lag putting has improved considerably.

I've gone to a Del Mar now, as I get a similar feel with a bit more help on mishits.
On fast greens though, there is nothing better than an 8802.

It's one of the best putters I've ever had. I feel like these should have been way more popular than they were. I got mine for $35 on discount. Lost the head over as it never stayed on right.
Any time I swap it out for something else I always go back to it. It just putts so smoothly.

Yeah, I have that Yonex and I use it on cloudy days because the shiney chrome is blinding sometimes.

The new Wilson milled 8802 is great if you want a heavier 8802. Most of the early ones are very light.
I'm no great putter (hang on.... yes I am. I am a great putter, I am a great putter...) but these work just as well or better than any other styles.
And they all look absolutely beautiful.
Here's some of mine. And the Rife Bimini in the bottom picture is my current "in use". She's gorgeous.

Great collection. So good. What is the weight of the Rife Bimini? I believe the Milled 8802 is 335 grams, cut it down to 33.5" and love it.

According to the specs she's 345g. That seems about right to me, heavy-ish for an 8802.

Having used “The Wilson 8802” for 33-34 years of my last 36 years in the game, it’s the sh**, though Madison getting Mr. Palmer’s signature on it put the kabosh on rollin it again, and I retired it, lol
Mitch came through big time with a pristine “The Wilson 8802” and then Maddie surprised me a few weeks ago with a blackened “The Wilson 8802,” which since my stroke and loss of sight in my left eye does make it easier to align the ball and cuts down on the glare, though that stuff never even entered my mind prior to all this medical stuff, lol.
My mental game ain’t what it used to be, haha
I have all of the subsequent 8802 renditions & reissues and the 8843 that is pictured was a gift some years ago from Sam.
It was the last blade in his bag before he switched styles and of course, putters.
I had my initials stamped in it and rolled it for two seasons before going back to my 8802. The 8843 is the MP-14 of the Wilson/Staff putter blades and **** is it sweet, however you better have a lot confidence in your stroke, hahaha. It makes the 8802 look like a mallet putter, lol
All told, of my 137 putters, 79 are heel shafted blades, so it’s safe to say that if it appeared in a pro shop or a Pro’s bag, I’ve either got it, had it, or traded it away.
The latest edition dual milled 8802 is as fine a blade as I own and I prefer it over my KM-008 & even my Mac VIP TFP 90-1, on which the Miura KM-350 & 008 were based, and that Mac is the real deal!!
The latest edition 8802 versus my Napas??
Paaaleeease, lol
Seriously, not even close~
Ask Maddie, those Scottie Napas, including a custom and 2 T’s, haven’t left the cedar closet in years, lolol
The only putter that I own that comes close to the dual milled 8802 is of course The Wilson 8802 & Mac, and the Odyssey Black Tour #8, which is right there with the Wilsons and Mac.
You got a great blade, and I wish ya all the best with it!!
And your grip??
They don’t get any better than Best Grips or Zach!!
He’s as Classy as they come!!
****, you’re one of the Plank Owners!!
Hats off 🎩 Brother👊
Thanks for posting!

Wow, nice collection, the Miura and MacGregor look great as well. Thanks, coming from a collector and a user like you, I am really glad I have this milled 8802. Getting used to the leather grip, good combo.
