Meet The 2022 Toulon Range From Odyssey Golf

Odyssey, the number one putter in golf, in 2016 released the Toulon range, which has since become their premium putter. The 2022 model is now out and available in AFGolfStore for FREE fittings and WOW, it is a great looking putter.

“Toulon Design putters are developed with an obsessive attention to detail, exacting precision, and Tour-proven performance. They’re meticulously crafted to be the best milled putters in the world.” ~ Odyssey Golf

  • Chicago
  • Madison
  • Las Vegas DB
  • Las Vegas H4.5
  • San Diego
  • Atlanta
  • Memphis

“I LOVED THE DAYTONA BEACH DESIGN FROM THE MOMENT I SAW IT. AND WHEN I HIT THE FIRST PUTT IT WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE BAG. THE FEEL IS SO PURE. THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY.” ~ Danny Willett

Toulon Range Putter Features

So, what makes the Toulon range, Odyssey’s most premium putter? Well, let’s start with the face, they use Deep Diamond Groove Mill Pattern. This is deep full face grooves, which are designed to control sound and feel by channeling vibration. The face also features a medium depth double fly cut to enhance forward roll and feel. With this precise attention to detail,  this is the most consistent and best-rolling Toulon Design ever.

The Midnight Black Finish is stunning! Toulon Design is widely recognised for its premium look and construction and the black finish helps the putter stand out on tour!

Every Toulon Design putter comes with an Adjustable Weighting System in the form of the new two split-weight design that moves the weights forward, and toward the toe and heel. The positioning improves the inertia of the head, while also improving the consistency of impact ratio and forward roll. All of this leads to speed consistency and a high level of performance.

Innovative multi-material shaft saves 40 grams of weight, which is redistributed to the head and grip end of the putter. Stroke Lab Weighting completely rebalances the putter for improved tempo and consistency in the stroke, and this major-winning technology continues to dominate on Tours around the world.

Our Verdict

There is no denying this is a special bit of kit! A solid feel off the face with weight that will help the most inconsistent players when it comes to distance control and speed around the greens.

Scottie Scheffler’s 2022 Masters Winning WITB

A week on from a memorable Masters, we look at Scottie Scheffler’s 2022 Masters Winning WITB. A week of many talking points has passed since Scottie Scheffler donned the Green Jacket for his first time, and on current form, you would suggest it’s the first of many!

What was your favourite moment of the weekend? There are so many to choose from including the return of Tiger Woods! Another come back, only this time he didn’t need a victory to capture the hearts of his fans. To see him just playing again after a horrible accident last year left us wondering if we’d ever see the Sunday red shirt again! Perhaps you enjoyed the incredible display from Rory on Sunday? It has got us excited about a potential return to form! However, whatever your favourite moment was, one man stole the show, with what looked like an effortless display of golf all weekend long. You must be good if you can 4 putt the last to claim your first Major win. So with that in mind, let’s look at what equipment helped Scottie to his 4th win in only 6 starts in 2022.

Whats In The Bag

Driver: TaylorMade Stealth Plus (8 degrees @7.5)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X

Hitting 43 / 56 fairways over 4 days is a must around Augusta. Everyone knows Augusta for the greens, but positioning yourself on the green starts by having the right shot in… preferably off the fairway!

3-wood: TaylorMade Stealth Plus (16.5 degrees @15)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X

Utility: Srixon Z U85 (3)
Shaft: Nippon Pro Modus3 Hybrid Tour X

Irons: Srixon ZU85 (4), TaylorMade P7TW (5-PW)
Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

49 / 72 greens hit over the 4 days, which was 11% higher than the field average!

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (50-12F, 56-14F, 60-06K)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400

Putter: Scotty Cameron Special Select Timeless Tour type GSS Prototype

Putting average of 1.53 putts per hole, which was 5th on the list of players.

Based on the weekend stats, Scottie was the most steady players across the board. He found the least amount of trouble and looked in control of his game, mindset and clubs all weekend.

So, that’s another win for Scottie and another win for the TaylorMade Stealth driver this season. If you are looking for equipment that you can rely on under pressure, then we have the perfect solution for you. FREE CUSTOM FITTING
