Toulon launches its latest Small Batch creation: Paris
Toulon’s has unveiled its latest Small Batch creation — Paris — which pulls inspiration from the reigning men’s gold medalist’s putter but adds a bit of flair befitting a putter named Paris.
This compact winged mallet borrows design cues from the brand’s original Las Vegas design.

One of the unique design features is the shape of the top line. The top line flares to the toe and heel points — complementing the overall profile shape of the Las Vegas. This leaves the thinnest part of the top line in the center to provide a natural framing of the golf ball at address. This simple design element works in design to enhance the alignment aids provided by the simple top line and the lines created by the wings.

Taking notice of the trends toward small-to-midsize mallets with plumber’s neck style hosels, Paris uses a new slightly shorter version of Toulon’s H1 hosel. This neck design was created to produce a 25-degree toe hang and a full shaft offset. These two factors are designed to make Paris swing like a traditional blade style putter with the added benefit of the alignment features created by the winged shape.

A traditional blade putter will measure just over 1 inch in thickness from front to back, making alignment more difficult for many golfers. Paris measures about 3 inches front to back and about 3 inches from toe to heel on the face. This geometry aims to not only create excellent balance, but also a virtual square — in design to allow for great improvement in aiming.
The creators of Paris also spent many hours on the shape and dimensions of the wings as well as the thickness of the face in an effort to create a sound and feel that golfers will love.

Paris also uses the brand’s major championship-winning Deep Diamond Groove mill pattern. This face mill is helpful in creating two important performance benefits — improved sound and feel and improved forward roll.
The sole of the putter features the iconic Eiffel Tower flanked by a repeating Toulon logo and Paris wordmark laser engraving designed to bring to mind legendary French fashion brands.

To commemorate the City of Light, Toulon also created a new finish in a Champagne hue. Inspired by the crisp sparkling wines that France made famous, Toulon applied a light mist to the slow-milled 904L Stainless Steel body before applying the Champagne PVD.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
