Toulon Golf announces latest Small Batch putter — the Charlotte

Published

on

The Story

Per Toulon:

“Charlotte, North Carolina is considered to be the “Home of NASCAR” and is the central hub for the sport and home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Many of the sport’s teams and performance machine shops call Charlotte home. What’s the connection between milled putters and stock car racing? The tolerances needed in racing to eke out every bit of performance is unbelievably intense. The slimmest margins can make the biggest difference in the pursuit of victory. The accumulation of tiny advancements lead to measurable improvements on the racetrack. Milling putters is very much the same way.

“When designing Charlotte Small Batch — like all the Small Batch creations that preceded it — Toulon operate at the intersection of art and science. When creating Charlotte, we wanted to stay true to the design DNA of the original B60 design, but also wanted it to perform better than ever before.

“That requires an intense amount of engineering and an artistic blend of every nuance to make the putter beautiful but also sound and feel in a way this shape has never felt before. The desire to create better performance drove us to the spirit of NASCAR, Charlotte.”

The Head

The putter head is inspired by the legendary B60 — a putter used to win majors and tour events the world over, and an overlooked design in the history of the game.

During the creation process, Toulon focused on the unique “B” flange design, but more significantly on its thickness. This area of the flange plays a major role in the creation of the putter’s sound and feel.  By thickening the flange it produces a deeper, more satisfying classic milled click.

The brand also designed the head to a weight of 355 grams, substantially heavier than the original. This allowed to be able to thicken the face and create the acoustics Toulon sought.

Sculpted from 904L, the final shape is clean and simple. But the closer you look, the more complexities will emerge. Toulon’s new Platinum Mist finish highlights the subtleties and brings a rare level of elegance to this classic.

Charlotte is a slightly longer and wider design than the brand’s other blades. These proportions are meticulously designed in order to create a visual harmony while maintaining the flowing organic shape that is designed to set this putter apart from other blades.

The Sole

The sole celebrates the legend of the vaunted Plymouth Superbird, a car so dominating with its superior aerodynamics in 1970 that it was effectively sidelined the next year, as rules changed to limit its advantages.

Toulon then slow milled the 904L, leaving the micro mill marks under the engraved car graphic, while adding just a touch of Racing Red to paint fill the name Charlotte.

In addition, the Charlotte Small Batch is milled with a Ultra Fine Double Fly Cut. Charlotte is designed for the modern game, weighing in at a contemporary 355 grams. Toulon paired it with a special Toulon Pistol Midsize grip in a Candy Red color with their black stepless steel shaft.

The finish of the new Platinum Mist PVD over the incredibly high polished and slow milled 904L aims to bring a finish depth without any glare.The headcover is inspired by the many advertisements adorning iconic stock cars on the grid.

  • Material: 904L Stainless Steel

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

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

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
