GM verdict
At address, the milled lines on top of the two fangs darken the appearance of these parts of the head, which then contrast with the leading edge to create an alignment aid. There is also a short black line behind the centre of the face and two longer lines either side of the central space.
They are quite subtle and could stand out more, so it is really the shape of the fangs and central space that provide the perpendicular alignment aid.
The short-slant hosel creates a slight toe hang, which works best with a slight-arc stroke. This is a popular trend now among premium putters aimed at better players - combining a forgiving head with this style of hosel and the TM22 carries it off well.
Looks
The fang style is a tried and trusted shape in a face-balanced head. Compared with other putters of this style, the head looks more compact, but it played bigger than it looks.
The milling pattern on the 3⁰loft face continues the premium feel and gives excellent feedback on the greens. You can really notice when you strike one perfectly, and even when slightly off centre the feel is very good.
Topping it all off is a leather-style headcover and an excellent Lamkin Deep Etch grip that has some contouring around the upper part to suit whichever style you employ. It's made from a Genesis material that feels robust enough to last a long time.
In summary, there is more to the TM22 putter than its sibling Wilson Staff Model BL22 blade, which justifies the rather punchy price of £370 a bit more. The milling patterns work well to create visual differences at address that are more subtle than most.

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?
The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
