Toulon launches its latest Small Batch creation: Paris

Toulon’s has unveiled its latest Small Batch creation — Paris — which pulls inspiration from the reigning men’s gold medalist’s putter but adds a bit of flair befitting a putter named Paris.

This compact winged mallet borrows design cues from the brand’s original Las Vegas design.

One of the unique design features is the shape of the top line. The top line flares to the toe and heel points — complementing the overall profile shape of the Las Vegas. This leaves the thinnest part of the top line in the center to provide a natural framing of the golf ball at address. This simple design element works in design to enhance the alignment aids provided by the simple top line and the lines created by the wings.

Taking notice of the trends toward small-to-midsize mallets with plumber’s neck style hosels, Paris uses a new slightly shorter version of Toulon’s H1 hosel. This neck design was created to produce a 25-degree toe hang and a full shaft offset. These two factors are designed to make Paris swing like a traditional blade style putter with the added benefit of the alignment features created by the winged shape.

A traditional blade putter will measure just over 1 inch in thickness from front to back, making alignment more difficult for many golfers. Paris measures about 3 inches front to back and about 3 inches from toe to heel on the face. This geometry aims to not only create excellent balance, but also a virtual square — in design to allow for great improvement in aiming.

The creators of Paris also spent many hours on the shape and dimensions of the wings as well as the thickness of the face in an effort to create a sound and feel that golfers will love.

Paris also uses the brand’s major championship-winning Deep Diamond Groove mill pattern. This face mill is helpful in creating two important performance benefits — improved sound and feel and improved forward roll.

The sole of the putter features the iconic Eiffel Tower flanked by a repeating Toulon logo and Paris wordmark laser engraving designed to bring to mind legendary French fashion brands.

To commemorate the City of Light, Toulon also created a new finish in a Champagne hue. Inspired by the crisp sparkling wines that France made famous, Toulon applied a light mist to the slow-milled 904L Stainless Steel body before applying the Champagne PVD.

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut

Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.

So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)

Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.

Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.

Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.

Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.

Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”
