It is finally Summer Olympic time and if you have been paying attention to Toulon Golf on any of their various social media platforms, then you know that they are tipping their cap to the host city this time around with the introduction of their newest Small Batch release, the Paris.
Toulon Golf “Paris” Small Batch Putter
You have to give it to Toulon Golf, they are incredibly clever when it comes to their Small Batch releases and always rooting them in a specific source of inspiration. When it comes to the new Paris putter, there are two main points of inspiration. First and most obviously, the city of Paris is playing host to the 2024 Olympic Games. However, the newest putter also has a second tip of the cap within its design premise, and that is to the Toulon putter used by the reigning Gold Medalist, Xander Shauffele.
The basis to the Paris is the Las Vegas shape within the Toulon lineup, but that doesn’t mean its simply a copy and paste of that putter. The compact winged mallet based on one of the most successful putter shapes of all time already has the Toulon twist on it, but for the Paris it is kicked up a notch.
Foremost, the geometry of the Paris has been gone over with a fine tooth comb to ensure that the putter is not only physically balanced in the stroke, but also visually balanced at address sitting dead square. Face thickness has been altered to ensure the sound/feel is up to Toulon Golf standards as well as being worthy of the Small Batch moniker. Additionally, the topline flares to heel and toe points which frames the golf ball even better at address while adding alignment value to boot.
Of course being part of the Small Batch, the Paris is slow milled from 904L Stainless Steel and it carries another gorgeous finish from the company, this time Champagne. The sole contains the Eiffel Tower in a nod to the namesake and is a one piece milling. The Paris does have a shorter H1 hosel which matches the trends on Tour right now with mallets and features the same Deep Diamond Groove milling pattern which won two Major Championships this year for Xander.
The Details
The Paris officially releases today, 7/26/24 in extremely limited numbers and will be available on the Toulon website, www.ToulonGolf.com. As has been the case with the other Small Batch releases, the Paris will also be priced at a premium $1,800 for the super limited design.
