Toulon unveils latest Small Batch putter – the Scottsdale

Published

Feb 14, 2025

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Scottsdale.

This Small Batch release celebrates all things Scottsdale and features a very unique design that also takes inspiration from the town itself — the most Wild city of the West, home to gunslingers and American outlaws.

The Head

This ear shaped mid-mallet takes some inspiration from the original blade models from the 1960s, most notably in the hosel design that is unique on a shape like Scottsdale Small Batch. This modified H1 hosel was designed to create a blade-like flow similar to those models from the 60s.

Most designs of this nature are heel shafted, which creates a lot more toe hang, and are typically suited for players with substantial arcs to their strokes.

Scottsdale aims to fit a wide range of players while delivering an incredibly solid sound and feel.

The Flange and Flow

While the hosel really helps to create the performance of this design, the star of the show on Scottsdale is its flange design. The flange gently flows off the back of the topline, gracefully falling to the back curved surface. But it also flows up from the heel of the flange to a peak towards the toe in an eye-catching radius.

This functional design helps to locate the center of gravity in the middle of the putter — offsetting the weight of the hosel in the heel.

This concept of form and function is on display throughout the valley of the Sonoran Desert in much of Scottsdale’s Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture, and inspired Toulon in its thinking for Scottsdale Small Batch.

The pattern that adorns the flange of Scottsdale features hundreds of tiny diamonds that reflect light in many directions, effectively reducing any glare that could distract a player while also creating a beautiful surface on the 904L Stainless Steel.

This pattern takes hours to mill on every head, and creates a finished piece that is truly unique.

The Sole

Toulon leaned into Wild Wild West inspiration for the sole design — and once again, the key design feature is one of function first. Scottsdale uses a bullet sole to reduce head weight from the center of the head, in design to create a more forgiving design while also helping Toulon hit its target weight of 355 grams.

Scottsdale, and broadly Arizona, was part of the Wild Wild West. This led Toulon to study some of the intricate engraving on vintage pistols and knives from the late 1800s and early 1900s often found on cowboys and vigilantes roaming the desert. These patterns were the source of inspiration of Scottsdale’s sole.

The graphic package Toulon created was also from this time period and draws inspiration from vintage movie posters and most wanted bulletins.

Underneath the graphics you’ll also see the subtle slow milled pattern that helps to make the Small Batch designs so unique.

The Rest of the Package

Scottsdale’s face is milled with the brand’s Ultra Fine Double Fly cut. The head is finished in Milk Chocolate and the engravings are filled in Cream and Gold paint. The putter is paired with a special Toulon Pistol Midsize grip in a coordinating Black and Rose Gold color with Toulon’s chrome stepless steel shaft.

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.”
