If you have followed Toulon Putters for any amount of time, you know they have made a habit of creating unique Small Batch releases that not only catch your eye, but also tell a story. Their latest installment, known as the “Charlotte” Small Batch, is definitely not shy on connecting the dots while giving us a solid serving of nostalgia along the way.
As they have done in the past, Toulon gives the nod here to Charlotte’s racing history, this time focusing more on the NASCAR side of things, and aligning the value in tight performance metrics to improvements on the track and the putting green. They also took a relatively bold approach by utilizing a rarer head shape in the B60, something we have not seen a ton of lately. Honestly? It is pretty refreshing.
Materials – Toulon Golf Small Batch
Where I would normally dive directly into the head design, I want to first focus on one of the elements that make Small Batch unique, which is the continuation of the 904L stainless steel usage. It is a material that is used by high end watch makers, and with a higher content of nickel and copper in the composition, generates an incredibly satisfying and unique feel (sound) off the face. Why do I think this matters so much? It is pretty simple, really – They are creating truly limited offerings with a material that is harder to work with, and unique to their process. We are not just talking about some fun stamping or flash, this is a real material change, which to me adds a pretty significant value.
Circling back to the application to the Charlotte, Toulon opted for another new finish to flex, this time using a platinum mist PVD that definitely presents well without glare. I really love that the crew are not afraid to mix it up with their finishes, and in this case, gave it a real classic look that does not hide any of the “B” shaping.
Design – Toulon Charlotte
As we move into the head profile, the shape, which effectively looks like a filled in letter B at address, allows for some really interesting weight placement, and free flowing lines away from the shallow flange. One of the things I noticed instantly while looking at the pictures, was their homage to the Plymouth Superbird – mostly because the tires on the car roll out along with the B shaping of the head. It just seemed to connect well to me. Around the head you will also find subtle nods to old school racing graphics, and that bleeds over to the headcover incredibly well.
One of my favorite (and usually most critical) elements of a putter release is the face milling. In a lot of ways, it can make or break the eye test, and in other cases, miss on the sound/feel test as well. For Charlotte, Toulon opted for their ultra fine double fly cut milling, which pairs beautifully with the stock-car-esque Toulon advert on the face. It is yet another way to keep things unique in Small Batch while still focusing on the entire package to make sure it looks fantastic in hand.
It seems like the B60 shape has undergone the 2025 Toulon treatment beautifully. Focusing on subtle lines that get more intricate as you get closer in your inspection, and tying in really fun connections to the wonderful racing history of Charlotte, I think this is the kind of piece that is not only going to be fun to collect, but to game as well. The balance of the shape, the softness of the lines, along with the precision and quality of 904L, definitely take some time to appreciate yet another beautifully crafted Small Batch offering.
