Toulon unveils latest Small Batch putter – the Scottsdale

Published

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

This Small Batch release celebrates all things Scottsdale and features a very unique design that also takes inspiration from the town itself — the most Wild city of the West, home to gunslingers and American outlaws.

The Head

This ear shaped mid-mallet takes some inspiration from the original blade models from the 1960s, most notably in the hosel design that is unique on a shape like Scottsdale Small Batch. This modified H1 hosel was designed to create a blade-like flow similar to those models from the 60s.

Most designs of this nature are heel shafted, which creates a lot more toe hang, and are typically suited for players with substantial arcs to their strokes.

Scottsdale aims to fit a wide range of players while delivering an incredibly solid sound and feel.

The Flange and Flow

While the hosel really helps to create the performance of this design, the star of the show on Scottsdale is its flange design. The flange gently flows off the back of the topline, gracefully falling to the back curved surface. But it also flows up from the heel of the flange to a peak towards the toe in an eye-catching radius.

This functional design helps to locate the center of gravity in the middle of the putter — offsetting the weight of the hosel in the heel.

This concept of form and function is on display throughout the valley of the Sonoran Desert in much of Scottsdale’s Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture, and inspired Toulon in its thinking for Scottsdale Small Batch.

The pattern that adorns the flange of Scottsdale features hundreds of tiny diamonds that reflect light in many directions, effectively reducing any glare that could distract a player while also creating a beautiful surface on the 904L Stainless Steel.

This pattern takes hours to mill on every head, and creates a finished piece that is truly unique.

The Sole

Toulon leaned into Wild Wild West inspiration for the sole design — and once again, the key design feature is one of function first. Scottsdale uses a bullet sole to reduce head weight from the center of the head, in design to create a more forgiving design while also helping Toulon hit its target weight of 355 grams.

Scottsdale, and broadly Arizona, was part of the Wild Wild West. This led Toulon to study some of the intricate engraving on vintage pistols and knives from the late 1800s and early 1900s often found on cowboys and vigilantes roaming the desert. These patterns were the source of inspiration of Scottsdale’s sole.

The graphic package Toulon created was also from this time period and draws inspiration from vintage movie posters and most wanted bulletins.

Underneath the graphics you’ll also see the subtle slow milled pattern that helps to make the Small Batch designs so unique.

The Rest of the Package

Scottsdale’s face is milled with the brand’s Ultra Fine Double Fly cut. The head is finished in Milk Chocolate and the engravings are filled in Cream and Gold paint. The putter is paired with a special Toulon Pistol Midsize grip in a coordinating Black and Rose Gold color with Toulon’s chrome stepless steel shaft.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. 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.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. 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.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
