Guess what Sean, you’re not good at making custom Toulon blade putters that are supposed to sit square at address yet sits >10 degrees open when soled with minimal to no grip pressure at address and then charging $500 for them. Quit your day job, please.

Wanted to but could not sit and listen to that echo. Guys, amazon sells mics for $80. That was rough.

Fantastic technological discovery…. more weight in the head and hands, and less weight with a graphite shaft for vastly improved performance. This will destroy all the other putter companies who still have neanderthal designs. Callaway have a winner!!!

Finally, 2019 and this momentous discovery in putter technology. Why didn’t the putter design scientists come up with this solution decades ago?

Lapel mics?

Amateur hour. I produce TV commercials and you almost always use mics close to the chin, or hand-held mics just out of frame to the top. Never, never use the mic on the camera. Jeez.
