Spotted: Titleist CB Forged 716 irons

Published

on

Here are in-hand photos of Titleist’s new CB Forged 716 irons, which we spotted on the the range at the Quicken Loans National on Tuesday. Titleist is mum on details, but the photos show that the long irons (4-7) have a tungsten weight in the toe to improve forgiveness.

    I don’t see anything wrong with the “Tungsten” engraving on the toe (it’s a selling point). In fact I like the square toe look of these heads.

    Can they make it busier? Need more words, like the loft number. I need more engravings

    Gotta get rid of the word tungsten.

    Agree these are best looking so far of the 716 models. Interesting to see what the specs are (loft, length).

    It looks like some of the design queues from the Callaway Legacy towards the toe. Overall they look good.

    I would love to see this up against the new Hogans to see which clubs play more forgiving.

    Lol. Already a nick on one of the clubs. #pingisthebest

    Now this is interesting that short irons don’t have the Tungsten weights. And so those also look more appealing to the eye

    The Tungsten and CB writing look super tacky

    Does anyone else look at these and see 990Bs? They look a lot like them. Now if they brought back some forged 962Bs I’d rethink my upcoming set of MP5s.

    I think the new AP2s look better. I prefer the look of my 710cbs over both. I could sure use a bit more forgiveness…

    I like the look. Classy yet suggests increased forgiveness vs the 714 CB.

    Get rid of “tungsten”, “forged” and “CB” and it’s perfect!!

      Even the new PING irons have Tungsten but PING realized they should remove the word from the clubbed. Good.

Toulon Golf collaborates with Valhalla Golf Club for latest Small Batch putter

Published

on

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Valhalla.

Discussing the putter, Preston Toulon of Toulon Golf said: “This putter is a collaboration with the club at Valhalla and incorporates three of the many things that make the state of Kentucky great – horseracing, bourbon and championship golf. The head of the putter and headcover have several allusions to a jockey’s silk and there are thoroughbreds on the sole.”

Inspired by Toulon’s classic tri-sole Santa Monica design, the company sought to modernize the profile and design leveraging its 904 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminium across the sole. Toulon describes the Valhalla’s profile as “slightly oversized blade whose proportions are meticulously balanced to maintain the look and feel of the Santa Monica, while increasing the putter’s inertia to create one of the most forgiving putters we have ever designed.”

Throughout numerous prototypes, Toulon paid particular attention to the L-neck, with its full shaft of offset, adding a bit of length for better blending with the slightly wider and longer blade.

On the rear of the putter are homages to horse racing in the form of jockey silk diamonds and Churchill Downs-inspired font.

The sole of the putter features a large cavity covered by a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. According to Toulon, this allowed for the addition length to the putter and improved inertia as well as moving more mass to the perimeter for greater forgiveness.

In another nod to Valhalla, Toulon uses a milled watermarked limestone pattern, a reference to stone featured widely on the property.

As with all the Toulon Small Batch putters, the team paid particular attention to the topline thickness and radius to achieve a desired look. “Soft yet crisp was the design intent,” according to the company.
