Toulon Golf unveils latest Small Batch release – La Jolla

Published

How Toulon Golf tells the story

A small town named La Jolla rests on the cliffs above the sparkling Pacific Ocean, about 10 miles north of San Diego. Spanish for “The Jewel.”

Accessible to all and difficult for all, Torrey has played host to the PGA Tour for over 50 years. It has recently become a favorite stop for the USGA, playing host to the classic U.S. Opens of 2008 and 2021.

These moments of personal greatness created some of the most iconic 18th green celebrations in the game’s history. Small Batch La Jolla pays homage to the great championships celebrated on these cliffs.

At the heart of this putter is its sleek shoulder and bumper design and much more squared profile from address. Toulon spent time studying every aspect of both its San Diego design and its old small batch favorite, the Santa Monica.

The hosel is now slightly inset from the top line, a nod to a classic that has won many times. The hosel stem itself has been softened like the rest of the body.

Toulon is calling La Jolla a ‘melted’ tri-sole. You will see the three sections that are slow-milled and lightly brushed on the sole. But running your fingers over the surface, you’ll feel the delicate transitions from each section to the next. Even more time was spent on the top line thickness and radius, giving La Jolla a more vintage look.

The back bumpers are slimmed and the overall design focus is on the delicate tri-sole. As always, hours were spent slow machining the head so that in its final finished state it would celebrate the intricate process used to create its shape.

Once completed, the head is then hand-polished to produce depth and luster. The La Jolla face is milled with Toulon’s Ultra Fine Double Fly cut.

La Jolla is designed for the modern game, weighing in at a contemporary 350 grams. The sole is minimally engraved with simply the model name, La Jolla, filled with Candy Red paint.

In addition, Toulon have paired it with a special Toulon Lamkin Deep Etched Cord grip and their chrome stepless steel shaft.

The circle fist pump icon in the back cavity pays homage to the many celebrations, while the Toulon brand mark is subdued and left unfilled. Inspired by the player who popularized this design (Toulon can’t say the name in it’s marketing materials, but we’re sure you can guess), the top line is adorned with a simple sight dot and the head is finished in the brand’s Tour Satin Mist.

TaylorMade launches Spider Tour Torched putters

Published

on

TaylorMade has dominated the mallet putter market with their expansive Spider putter line over the last few years. From players on professional tours to us everyday players, you will see a lot of Spider putters in bags. For 2026 TaylorMade is updating the Spider line with the new Spider Torched series that features a new torched PVD finish and some new head shapes.

The first thing you will notice about the Spider Torched putters is the bronze color finish. This finish takes inspiration from Rory’s custom Spider that is heated with a torch to get a multi-color bronze finish. When you heat stainless steel to around 600°F to 900°F it will change to this bronze color in a process called temper color. This happens because very high temperatures cause the metal’s surface to react with oxygen in the air, creating a thin transparent layer that gradually becomes thicker over time. Instead of using the time-consuming torching process, TaylorMade went with a more durable PVD finish to get a similar look.

Rory’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X

With the new launch we get the familiar Spider Tour head shapes that we know and love with the Spider Tour and Spider Tour X. Both are offered with different hosels as well to give looks that golfers will love and influence the toe hang of the putters for fitting different putting strokes. It doesn’t stop there as TaylorMade is also giving us the new Spider Tour V and Spider Tour F shapes that offer a different look and alignment at address. All of the heads stay true to being a Spider by their high MOI design for stability and forgiveness. A sole plate with updated graphics moves weight away from the center of the club head and out to the perimeter.

“The Spider Tour putter family represents the very best of what we do at TaylorMade. Nearlytwo decades of engineering, refinement and Tour feedback have gone into building thisfamily—and this new finish brings a level of visual sophistication that matches theperformance underneath it. These are putters that belong in the hands of the best players inthe world, and they’re proving it every week.”–Andrew Oldknow, Senior DirectorProductCategory and Design

For lining up the putter we see the tried and true True Path alignment that TaylorMade has been using on Spiders for what feels like forever. This high contrast line makes it faster and easier to get the putter pointed towards your target for more accuracy. You can also see the legendary Pure Roll insert that is made from white TPU for a softer feel. Each insert contains horizontal 45 degree grooves that put more forward roll on the ball and reduce hopping and skidding. Behind the insert is a Hybrar Echo Dampener that will reduce unwanted vibrations for a softer feel and sound at impact. On the sole TaylorMade kept the TSS weights so that you can dial in the head weight in order to get the perfect feel out of your Spider Tour Torched.

All of the new Spider Torched putters are offered with a premium KBS CT 120 putter shaft that features a gloss black finish. This upgraded shaft features a stiffer feel and low toque for added stability and consistency. The stock grip is a Super Stroke Pistol 1.0 while the counter balanced models get a Super Stroke 2.0 XL grip that is longer, 13.75″, in order to grip it further down easily. A new brown head cover has a leather texture and looks really good with the brown and light blue accents on it.

The new Spider Torched putters will have a $349.99 price for both the standard and counter balanced models.
