Odyssey launches new and improved Toulon Garage website

Published

on

Toulon Garage — a website that previously allowed golfers to fully personalize three of Toulon Design’s putter models — is back and the personalization options are more vast than ever. Callaway, an umbrella company that acquired putter-boutique Toulon Design in 2016, has revamped the website and design system to give golfers greater control over the looks of their putter.

During the 12-step process that mimics Tour-level personalization, golfers can dial in head shape, hosel type, finish, head weight, stamping, paint fill, shaft and grip, among other options.

Putter models available in the system now include Toulon Design’s Long Island, Columbus, Austin, Indianapolis, Madison, San Diego, Memphis, Latrobe, San Francisco and Rochester. Each of the putter heads can also be made into a counterbalance design with two different SuperStroke CounterCore grip options; 25 or 50 grams. Sole plates — each of which are CNC-milled — can be interchanged between a 7-gram aluminum plate, a 20-gram stainless steel plate, and a 40-gram tungsten weight.

All of the Toulon Garage putters are milled from blocks of 303 stainless steel and have diamond-cut designs in the face for a better sound and feel.

Toulon’s Garage putters are currently available for purchase at odysseygolf.com/toulongarage and will start at $499 for the Satin and Tour Mist finish, $549 for the Black Pearl finish, and $599 for the Rose Gold finish. Orders come packaged in a specially-designed box and come with a certificate of authenticity that’s “laser-etched onto a piece of high-grade aluminum,” according to Odyssey.

    You can almost smell the meeting on this one:

    “Scotty Cameron sells re-branded Ping Ansers for 300 a pop, there must be a way we can sell our 129.99 odyssey putters for 250+?”

    “I’ve got it, buy an un-established premium brand name and apply it to our standard putters and add in some finishing options”

    “I think we’ve earned ourselves a drink, fellas”

    The website is complete garbage. How that happens in 2017 I have no idea. It’s incredibly RAM hungry trying to pull through the Auto CAD drawings for every single stage. Mobile viewing is a total bust and my Macbook Pro is struggling. First time that’s ever happened. Total SHANK.

    That website needs a serious makeover. My iPhone 7+ got hot viewing it!!!

    And the company needs to rethink their strategy. Options are ridiculous. Seriously options are so expensive it’s just stupid. Get real. Hopefully Toulon fails and they can just make regular odyssey putters and focus on those. This is a fail IMO.

    Such a terrible site! I’m on a 100mbs fibre connection and using a fully specced out touch bar MacBook Pro and it’s pretty much completely maxed the computer out!

    The logo is horrible, the head designs are standard, and the tech is cosmetic at best. Add to that an exorbitant cost for limited options from a putter maker with zero name recognition (no one cares that he started Zevo Golf). All the hype on this site when he started his own company is laughable now. At least he had the sense to know he wouldn’t get far on his own and that selling out to Callaway was a no-brainer.

    Well, I’d like to go through the process but the website is a disaster. So slow in loading that I was unable, on 3 attempts, to get past selection of head choice. Won’t bother with that again. Huge error in launching when the site cannot function as intended. Done with that. How can a company pride itself in its technology when it can’t get its website to function with any degree of the technical prowess the product is supposed to possess?

    Nothing more than when this was first mentioned, woohoo, another over priced milled putter company… Far cooler option out there.

    So, as of 7/6/17, only two head options (Indy / Madison) available for lefties. . . Very disappointing. Hopefully, this gets corrected.

    Much too little, much too late. Also, the optimization of the site is horrid.

    Whoever designed that site needs to optimize it for mobile viewing.

    It’s a veritable nightmare on my iPhone

    So when will we hear more about the David Mills/Odyssey relationship?

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
