2019 Callaway Odyssey Toulon Design putters unveiled
Callaway’s Odyssey Toulon Design Putters will hit the shops in March, with a Deep Diamond Mill encompassing the face of the flatstick.
Deep cross-hatch grooves cover the face of the new 2019 Odyssey Toulon Design Putters, with the cross-hatch grooves designed to control the sound and feel through the channelling of vibration. Each diamond pattern also contains a small groove, aimed at improving the quality of each roll.
The new addition from Odyssey comes with the company’s Stroke Lab Design, a shaft developed with the intent of enhancing the consistency in putting through the series of movement in stroke. The Stroke Lab shaft aims to offer greater tempo and consistency.
Golfers will be able to choose between a pistol or oversized grip.
Available Odyssey Toulon Stroke Lab:
- Memphis
- Las Vegas
- Atlanta
- Palm Beach
- Portland
- San Diego
- Austin
- Azalea
The Odyssey Toulon Design Putters come in a new Charcoal Smoke Finish and will hit the retail market on March 1, with a price tag of $449.
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.

Just Got the ” Toulon Atlanta ” 2 week-end ago Used to have in my bag Odessy V Line (4 years old). Ho boy……consistent strokes, weights all along the shaft helps a lot…..pure impact on the ball ( TP5 ) and rightly so the tempo is easier for whatever reason. Costly but X-mass comes once à year

“The Stroke Lab shaft aims to offer greater tempo and consistency.” How on earth can a shaft, which cannot set itself in motion offer “greater tempo”? Maybe this is the shaft which really does go off in the user’s hands.
One day, maybe one day GolfWRX will demonstrate real respect for its members by not just publishing press relaeases verbatim and, instead, questioning some of these claims.

These look great. But replacing the Toulon logo with an Odyssey logo wasn’t a good idea.

The appetite of corporate America knows no bounds. Eventually everything unique and independent will be swallowed and homogenized.
If you don’t like seeing the Odyssey logo on a “Toulon” putter, just wait until all the OEMs are absorbed – your Callaway clubs will all have Amazon logos and your TaylorMades will be “Wal-Mart”.
We’ll have plenty of time to discuss logos, though, since all these buyouts mean fewer jobs everywhere.

I’m not sure. I think, historically, Odyssey carries much more weight as a quality putter manufacturer than Toulon.
