Callaway’s Odyssey Toulon Design Putters will hit the shops in March, with a Deep Diamond Mill encompassing the face of the flatstick.

Deep cross-hatch grooves cover the face of the new 2019 Odyssey Toulon Design Putters, with the cross-hatch grooves designed to control the sound and feel through the channelling of vibration. Each diamond pattern also contains a small groove, aimed at improving the quality of each roll.

The new addition from Odyssey comes with the company’s Stroke Lab Design, a shaft developed with the intent of enhancing the consistency in putting through the series of movement in stroke. The Stroke Lab shaft aims to offer greater tempo and consistency.

Golfers will be able to choose between a pistol or oversized grip.

    Just Got the ” Toulon Atlanta ” 2 week-end ago Used to have in my bag Odessy V Line (4 years old). Ho boy……consistent strokes, weights all along the shaft helps a lot…..pure impact on the ball ( TP5 ) and rightly so the tempo is easier for whatever reason. Costly but X-mass comes once à year

    “The Stroke Lab shaft aims to offer greater tempo and consistency.” How on earth can a shaft, which cannot set itself in motion offer “greater tempo”? Maybe this is the shaft which really does go off in the user’s hands.

    One day, maybe one day GolfWRX will demonstrate real respect for its members by not just publishing press relaeases verbatim and, instead, questioning some of these claims.

    These look great. But replacing the Toulon logo with an Odyssey logo wasn’t a good idea.

      The appetite of corporate America knows no bounds. Eventually everything unique and independent will be swallowed and homogenized.

      If you don’t like seeing the Odyssey logo on a “Toulon” putter, just wait until all the OEMs are absorbed – your Callaway clubs will all have Amazon logos and your TaylorMades will be “Wal-Mart”.

      We’ll have plenty of time to discuss logos, though, since all these buyouts mean fewer jobs everywhere.

      I’m not sure. I think, historically, Odyssey carries much more weight as a quality putter manufacturer than Toulon.

Welcome to the family: TaylorMade launches PUDI and PDHY utility irons

Published

on

TaylorMade is continuing its UDI/DHY series with the successor to the Stealth UDI and DHY utility irons: PUDI and PDHY (which the company styles as P·UDI and P·DHY). TaylorMade is folding the designs in with its P Series of irons.

TaylorMade outlined the process of developing its new utilities this way. The company started with the data on utility iron usage. Not surprisingly, better players — i.e. those who generate more clubhead speed and strike the ball more precisely — were found to gravitate toward the UDI model. DHY usage, however, covered a wider swath than the company might have expected with six-to-18 handicappers found to be bagging the club.

TaylorMade also found that the majority of golfers playing UDI or DHY utilities were playing P Series irons at the top of their iron configurations.

Can you see where this is going?

Matt Bovee, Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge at TaylorMade: “As we look to the future, beyond the tech and the design language, we are excited about repositioning our utility irons into the P·Series family. P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

TaylorMade PUDI

Crafted with tour player input, TaylorMade sought to develop a confidence-inspiring utility iron that blends with the rest of the P Series irons. Also of note: Interestingly, the PUDI has a more compact head than the P790.

In comparison to past UDI products, the PUDI has a more traditional iron shape, slimmer toplines, and less offset with a little of the backbar visible at address.

TaylorMade PDHY

Larger in profile than the PUDI, the PDHY seeks to position center of gravity (CG) lower in the club for ease of launch. The toe height is larger and the profile is larger at address — roughly five millimeters longer than PUDI — the sole of the club is wider for improved forgiveness.

Club Junkie’s take

Golfers who feel like they are missing something at the top of the bag could find the PUDI or PDHY a great option. The look of the PUDI should fit the most discerning eye with a more compact look, less offset, and a thinner topline. If you want a little more confidence looking down the P-DHY will be slightly larger while still being a good-looking utility iron.

For being small packages both models pack a pretty good punch with fast ball speeds, even off-center. The feel is soft and you get a solid feel of the ball compressing off the face when you strike it well. Your ears are greeted with a nice heavy thud as the ball and club come together. The PDHY will launch a little higher for players who need it while the PUDI offers a more penetrating ball flight. Both utility irons could be the cure for an open spot in the top end of the bag.

PUDI, PDHY, or Rescue?

TaylorMade offers the following notes to assist golfers in filling out their bags:

  • PUDI has mid-CG right behind the center face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight
  • PDHY has a lower center of gravity to produce an easier-to-launch mid-to-high ball flight.
  • Both PUDI and PDHY are lower-flying than the company’s hybrid/Rescue clubs.
  • PUDI is more forgiving than P790.
  • PDHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family
