Toulon Santa Monica: The inside scoop
As many have already seen this week in the forums, we spotted a brand new model from Toulon: the Santa Monica.
There were a lot of finer details going on with this putter that got peoples ears up including
- The one-piece design – no variable weight sole plate
- A classic head shape with Toulon refinements
- The finish & overall aesthetics
Thanks to a ton of positive feedback, we had to find out more. So, we went right to the top and called up Sean Toulon to find out about this new model and what else might be coming in the near future.
Here’s what we know:
The Santa Monica, that was captured is part of a larger project that will be going all out when it comes to customization and “showing the world what we can do when it comes to design and manufacturing,” according to Toulon. This line of putters will not be available on the grand scale and instead will focus on individual pieces and prioritize the customer experience.
This new line from Toulon will also include new putters not yet seen, although we have one name so far: La Grange (shout out to Texas!), and it will also include different materials not currently found in the Toulon/Odyssey line. The focus will be 100 percent on boutique, different and just for you, said Toulon. The new line will center around exercising total creativity, and also have the potential for one-off and limited-number pieces.
We don’t have a timeline for when these will become available to the public, but when we do, we will be sure to let you know.

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.”

Looks great. Love the simplicity. But when you see “prioritize the customer experience” and “boutique” you know they are going for the limited/scarcity business model and the price is going to be $1000+. I’m tired of putter companies doing this.

Can we stop pretending that Sean toulon knows anything about making putters? Byron Morgan, Lamont mann, Tyson lamb, all make a better product and have for years. This was just a marketing ploy to get Sean to Callaway.

“……we spotted a brand new model from Toulon: the Santa Monica” or, more accurately, ‘we spotted a brand new model from Odyssey: the Toulon Santa Monica’. Apologies for being snarky, but I am not a fan of the heavy handed (in my opinion) Odyssey branding. I know a fair bit about master and sub-brand branding strategies and this treatment just smacks of corporate insecurity.

Well to me that looks a lot like Tigers Scotty, wonder why the shift from weighted sole plate? What will the weight be on this putter .350 .365??
