I also feel that the grip is the perfect thickness, slightly bigger than what I\u2019m used to but nevertheless just right. The technology itself is easy to work out \u2013 I don\u2019t read anything before I take the putter out on the greens. I know most of you are like me when it comes to instruction manuals. They only get a look-in when I\u2019ve nearly broken my new gadget, trying to make it do something. For me technology <a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2013\/06\/Vizor_Blade_Address.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2566\" alt=\"Wilson Vizor Putter Address\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2013\/06\/Vizor_Blade_Address.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" \/><\/a>should be easy to understand.<\/p>\n<p>The universal \u2018red danger, white go\u2019 seems to be the thing to do and to be fair it works. It does feel a bit awkward at first, making sure that when I look down through the T-shaped putter I don\u2019t have any red showing means I\u2019m lined up and ready to go. Wilson insist that the Vizor putter can increase your consistency by 20%. Now I am not a bad putter but I can see that the ball is starting on the line I\u2019ve selected. But where it does <a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2013\/06\/Vizor_Blade_Sole.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2568\" alt=\"Wilson Vizor Putter Sole\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2013\/06\/Vizor_Blade_Sole.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"287\" \/><\/a>help me feel a bit more confident is from about nine feet and in. I feel I could be more aggressive with these putts, which is always going to help your confidence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #6f0\"><strong>Technology<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s mallet-style putter uses their I-Lock\u2122 technology, designed to avoid poor eye-alignment at address and helps you position your eyes directly over the line of the putt. The new technology \u2014 which Wilson have nicknamed \u2018lock &amp; roll\u2019 \u2014 allows you to lock the Vizor putter into position and get your ball rolling on the correct line.<\/p>\n<p>A precise cantilever alignment feature locks your eyes directly over the ball. You are made aware of the correct address position when the red bars, which feature on the toe and heel side of the Vizor\u2019s alignment, can no longer be seen when standing over your putt.<\/p>\n<p>The Vizor features an aluminium body and a soft urethane face insert, and a stainless steel periphery helps give you a higher MOI (moment of inertia) and extra stability, while the double-bend shaft also helps give you a face-balanced design.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6f0\">Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To me any putter that makes you feel confident when you step up to your ball on the green is a good putter and Wilson with their technology have given you a putter that will help you get the ball on the line that you\u2019ve chosen. That knowledge inspires confidence especially from nine feet in. Any putter that improves you from that distance has to be admired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing that does give me confidence is the weight of the putter \u2013 I do like to let&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/golf\/equipment\/2561\/review-of-wilsons-vizor-putter\" title=\"ReadReview of Wilson&#8217;s Vizor Putter\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":2562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,112767,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf","category-equipment-reviews","category-equipment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2013\/06\/Wilson-Vizor-Background.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2561"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2571,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2561\/revisions\/2571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
