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.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
