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.

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.”
