Toulon launches latest Small Batch putter – the Pittsburgh
Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh is a tribute to Johnny Miller’s final round of 63 at Oakmont Country Club at the U.S. Open in 1973.
The putter he used that day was a Bullseye design dating back to 1952, and it served as the inspiration for the latest Small Batch design, Pittsburgh.

Toulon wanted Pittsburgh to be true to Miller’s putter but modernized for the faster greens of today’s game. That meant the putter had to be substantially heavier than the putter Miller used in 1973.
With that as the design brief, engineers dug deep into multi-material design. Combining 904L stainless steel and tungsten, Toulon began designing Pittsburgh while staying true to the original dimensions of Miller’s putter.

To accomplish the performance and aesthetic goals, Toulon essentially hollowed out the middle of the blade. Once they milled the cavity inside the bottom of the putter, they then inserted 60 grams of tungsten — with as much weight residing in the extreme heel and toe section of the putter as possible.

Pittsburgh weighs in at a very playable 340 grams, roughly 40-50 grams heavier than the putter Miller used to win in 1973.
Pittsburgh Small Batch is milled with the brand’s Ultra Fine Double Fly Cut face pattern. Paired with the 904L stainless steel and tungsten material, this mill pattern is designed to deliver a lovely satisfying milled click at impact.

Befitting a putter bearing the name Pittsburgh, Toulon finished the body in its ‘Brilliant Midnight Black’ finish and highlighted the tungsten sole with their micro-milled pattern over the brushed yellow gold color.
To protect the head of Pittsburgh Small Batch, Toulon created a headcover that proudly displays Johnny’s legendary scorecard along with the date of the historical achievement and his signature.

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.
