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.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball
Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

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.
