2019 Callaway Odyssey Toulon Design putters unveiled
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.
Available Odyssey Toulon Stroke Lab:
- Memphis
- Las Vegas
- Atlanta
- Palm Beach
- Portland
- San Diego
- Austin
- Azalea
The Odyssey Toulon Design Putters come in a new Charcoal Smoke Finish and will hit the retail market on March 1, with a price tag of $449.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

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.
