Can you buy a new golf game? It’s the question we never stop asking. When we tested drivers earlier this year, the price difference between the most and least expensive was minimal. With blade putters, the price difference between the most expensive and least expensive is $670. We tested 32 blade putters in 2025. What separates the most expensive from the least expensive blade putter?
What do these putters have in common?
The Piretti Tesora 2 CU blade putter is the most expensive at $799. The least expensive is the Wilson Infinite Michigan Avenue. Another Wilson Infinite putter in the test was the West Loop at $129.
Each features a milled face to promote cleaner impact and better feedback. Both putters had similar performance on the medium putt length. Each of the putters comes with a headcover and has an alignment line on the top of the clubhead (triple line for Wilson).
Why is the Piretti Tesora 2 CU so much more expensive?
What makes one putter $650 more expensive than another? Here are a few reasons.
Materials and milling precision
The Tesora 2 CU is milled from 303 stainless steel and features a solid copper face. Copper is a more expensive material that provides a softer, more responsive feel. Every putter is hand-finished. Piretti advertises artisan-level craftsmanship.
Limited-edition design
With only 300 units, this boutique model is aimed at collectors and elite players. The Wilson Infinite line is not on the radar of collectors.
Customization
The Tesora 2 CU includes adjustable weight ports, a KBS steel shaft and a high-end Piretti Touring grip. It’s built like a Tour prototype, something mass-market putters don’t offer.
What about performance?
In fairness, two Wilson putters in this test were priced at $129. The Wilson Infinite Michigan Ave was the better performing of the two and outperformed the Piretti.
The Piretti Tesora 2 CU was one of the top performers on longer putts. It finished fourth overall for long putts but the results on short and medium-length putts were not as strong.
The Wilson Infinite Michigan Ave performed somewhat oppositely. It had above-average results for short and medium putts but struggled with longer putts.
Which one is the better value?
Let’s be honest: the golfer considering a Piretti Tesora 2 CU isn’t the same one looking at a $129 Wilson putter. These models are built for entirely different markets. But if we strip away price and branding and look strictly at performance, the results are interesting.
The Wilson Infinite Michigan Ave finished 17th overall while the Piretti Tesora 2 CU landed at 26th. Wilson’s other budget option, the Infinite West Loop, came in 31st which was not enough to top the Piretti.
In this case, money doesn’t necessarily buy you better equipment. As always, a putter fitting will be your best way to find the putter that matches your golf game.

I play the Wilson Infinite Buckingham (mallet-style, probably copying a TaylorMade) and I hit it very well. I could be wrong, but putters don’t seem to carry the same “name status” as irons and drivers. I also hear less questions about someone’s putter choice vs. their driver/irons.
All this to say, try some different stuff and leave your brand perception at the door.
