As a dedicated golf enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the rich history and traditions of the sport, I can’t help but be excited about the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris and the opportunity it presents for golf brands to showcase their innovative designs. Among these brands, Toulon has caught my attention with its latest release: the Small Batch Paris putter.
In Paris, where the 2024 Olympic Games are scheduled to start, golf brands are excitedly preparing to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the sport. Brands such as Toulon, a bespoke putter studio, are eagerly anticipating the arrival of top golfers like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda, Jon Rahm, and Xander Schauffele in the city.
As a seasoned sports enthusiast and someone who has closely followed the Olympics for years, I am thrilled to see golf making its comeback at the Games for the third time. The fact that reigning men’s gold medalist Xander Schauffele will once again represent Team USA is an added bonus. His incredible journey to the top of golf’s metaphorical “Eiffel Tower” is a testament to his dedication, skill, and resilience.
A compact mallet with a unique design, the plumber’s neck hosel in this Small Batch Paris putter allows for toe hang and full shaft offset, making the face swing freely open and closed like a blade. However, unlike traditional blades, this putter measures just 3 inches from front to back and toe to heel, creating a clear geometric frame around the ball to enhance aim. Toulon emphasizes that while many mallet putters with wing shapes lack desirable sound and feel, significant focus was placed on the thickness of the face and wings’ dimensions to deliver optimal feedback.
Despite ignoring its functional characteristics, Small Batch Paris’s allure primarily lies in its appealing appearance. The head of the putter is adorned with an image of the iconic Eiffel Tower, flanked by “Toulon” and “Paris” in shades of blue. Below these words, the same labels are repeated in a sleek, Futura font reminiscent of renowned French luxury fashion brands. The piece de resistance is a golden PVD coating, as if the putter has been drizzled with champagne.
If you’re considering buying one from the small number available, check out Toulon’s website on July 26, at 12PM Eastern Time.
