Drunk shopping while on the Odyssey Toulon Garage - Toulon Seattle Awesome!

[IronWolf]

I just got my Christmas gift today. I ordered this accidentally on December 26, 2020. I had had two weeks off vacation time.

Almost managed to completely finish a bottle of Pinot Noir.

Two hours configuring all manner of putter in the Toulon garage fun fun fun was a good day.

I have a Scotty Cameron fastback I really do like the compact mallets, I started out wanting the Atlanta but apparently I ordered the Seattle,

especially after watching a video where Sean Toulon talked about the fang putters tines vibrating oddly during impact and that he can see it during his ultra high-speed slow-motion video's, and that the Seattle putter bridges the two tynes together and reduces vibration enhancing the feel.

I did not even remember which credit card I put it on.

On January 2, I logged onto Odyssey and canceled the order. Got some error message saying due to Covid concerns we will respond to your request as soon as possible.

I called customer service a few weeks later again to confirm the order was canceled. Customer service said we cannot answer your call due to overwhelming call volume. And hung up on me.

So I just assumed that the order was canceled I never got another email until today. It says your order will be delivered by the end of the day.

 

The ghost of Christmas future, Super happy beautiful putter, I remember specifically finding out there was an option to avoid the stroke lab shaft design. So I ordered the all steel shaft version.

I have had two putters with the stroke lab and to me it kills the feel of the putter the graphite shaft absorbs too much of the vibration and feel I definitely putt worse with the stroke lab.

But this putter feels very similar to my Scotty Cameron squareback 2, but something noticeable is the compact mid Mallet moves backward from the ball during take away super beautiful and stable and balanced noticeably easy take away. Noticeably square to the path, slight arc. So far so good, definitely going to be a honeymoon period. My stroke lab double wide blade was a instant divorce no honeymoon. 

High quality 303 stainless, 360 g head, just slightly more click the my 303 Scotty.

You can feel the premium quality and balance I am very impressed.

I am super happy with the Toulon steel shaft as well, again the balance of the putter in the hand feels absolutely fluid, and magical I think it is another iteration of the Portland and the Atlanta mid Mallet. I was able to hit the Atlanta in the PGA superstore this one is better.

The diamond face pattern, appears to be working fantastic beautiful roll,  just like Kevin Na, and I can open beer bottles with it. Drunk shopping finally pays off.

Sweet flat stick! I’ve been lusting for a Garage Las Vegas H7. 
 

What headcover came with the Seattle?

Hoping this “can open beer bottles with it”=a joke? 😅🚫🍺

(to see bottle cap scratches on that lovely putter... would bring tears 😭 to the eyes 👀 of this bloke!)

It was definitely a joke, I did not open the beer with it. But it actually could, maybe five years from now,

it looks just like bottle openers I have seen.

The best thing I've read on here in awhile, great purchase! 😂

That might be the sickest bottle opener I have ever seen.

Sweet! A bit of booze on an underwhelming evening is how I got into a blackjack. 

 

Hope it works out for you. If not, I'll give you $100 for it...lol

Note to self don't drink Pinot Noir and browse putters online.

This sounds scary similar to something I could see myself doing. Can't believe I haven't drunk ordered a putter yet.

 

Beautiful putter though!

here is some really nice discussions about the technology and purpose I have embedded it where he starts talking about the Las Vegas, and clearly the Seattle is designed to control the tuning fork of the fang type putters something to think about very interesting, I would like to see some other options besides graphite I have not bought into the graphite in a putter shaft yet. I bet there is more versions or more shaft technology coming to control flex of new generation of heavy putter heads, Scotty Cameron is also thinking about it quite a bit he has done it with slightly thicker true temper shaft I believe.

I believe the tuning fork is why I have not put my Ardmore into play more, I have noticed that I get a different sound often even when I hit it perfectly in the sweet spot, different sounds of clicks, the Seattle is extremely solid. And looks nearly identical to the Ardmore except for the bar across the fangs Sound better &  good feel.  Las Vegas is very popular though

How were you drunk on less than one bottle of wine?

 

Great buy though, could’ve been a massage chair

oh it was definitely the entire bottle I was just trying to be discreet.

Last March it was a pair of nice binoculars after a complete sixpack of beer's

Great story and putter! Enjoy it. Anyone else disappointed that there were no limes on that cutting board!? 😁

The tuning fork issue was associated to the Exo 7 putters. They felt terrible IHMO. The Exo 7 Mini S is so much more solid feeling due to the rear brace.

My local edwin watts had one of these in the store today. Being a sucker for mallets with plumber's neck hosels, I rolled it. Very solid putter.

I have been putting all weekend with it trying to understand why the take away is so smooth.

I think I finally figured it out it is just slightly less toe hang along with a slightly shorter face I am really enjoying swinging it I just keep saying the word wow "smooth"   toe hang is about 3:45,(not quite 4 o'clock)

my Scotty Cameron square back is exactly 4:30 and seems to takes a small amount of extra effort to take away from the ball smoothly,  both extremely good putters. 

[cardoustie]

Great artsy pic, love the yellow tee out of focus in back 

 

Glad to read you found something that works

 

I jammed 35g weights in my GoLO 7 down here and it is so much better way heavier

I would love to know if you are still gaming this bad boy? I have been eyeing one for a long time now.

I have a pseudo putter laboratory set up, a 12 foot big moss putting surface where I compare all my putters, the biggest factor for me is the hardness of the ball versus the hardness of the putter face they all interact very differently how the ball comes off the face.  As I experiment with different balls it really affects how well I putt.  The Seattle is always in the mix currently the top four Odyssey Rossie OG (non-stroke lab steel shaft) Scotty Cameron Phantom X5 .0, Scotty Cameron Newport 1, and the Seattle Toulon (non-stroke lab). So I am absolutely in love with the Rossie. Since I have moved back to the Titleist Pro V1 which is quite a hard feeling ball, I was using Callaway chrome soft all winter and it was too soft for the Seattle, the ball velocity one or two revolutions short. I kept leaving the ball short, However it does seem to work extremely well with the Pro V1, but currently I cannot seem to miss with the Rossie, the way the ball leaves the face just starts on my target line flawlessly, I had 28 putts last round with the Rossie.

The most beautiful thing for me with the Seattle is the slight toe hang, it is one of the best takeaways smoothest backswing it just goes back and through very pure pendulum. I would consider selling it to you, it is 1° upright. Cheers, so I have stopped gaming it, but it is always on my mind.
