Low sales I'd assume. Toulon doesnt weld necks on they pre-mill them as one piece so having that inventory probably isnt worth it.

 

I'm playing one right now and I love it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Toulon really doesn’t do much for Callaway and putters it feels like. I’m still confused regarding what they were purchased for. 
Their website is old and not user friendly, their customization seems to be lacking unless you consider paintfill at a high price cool, and their putter evolution seems to be very slow. 
 

I say this as in there is huge potential for them, I’m just confused at why they are not going after it. I wonder if it’s Callaway holding them back or opposite. I would be interested to see putter sales for Toulon spiked out. 
 

I’m a fan of their putters and routing for them, but I scratch my head at times thinking why they aren’t further along than I had hoped.

Yeah I agree it’s a slow burn. But it’s also putters in the same price range as Scotty Cameron, with extremely limited tour presence and marketing.
 

Only this last year I’ve felt like some more pros started playing them. And a YouTube guy swears by it. But it’ll take a while! 
 

I would’ve never bought it had it not gotten fit for it.

Could you send a picture of the putter? Where did you get it welded?

Mine isnt welded, it's a tour issue from Callaway/Toulon so the neck is one piece.

I just want a wide blade Toulon.  The Chicago is too skinny.

This. Would love a wide blade like a Queen B6.

I see, hopefully it will release to public

All I want for Christmas is a Las Vegas CH 

Just ordered a 7 ch because I want that shape with a plumber’s neck.  Does anyone know why Toulon doesn’t offer it?  Would love to have less toe hang than the slant/flow neck.  I see it on YouTube at times so they do make them, maybe one off. 
 

I would like more subtle branding from them.  A stamped only branding would be sick and a big seller.

My dream is to have a hand stamped toulon like the tour scottys have now - no etched branding just all done by stamp.

They would eat into Scotty sales with that.  At least with us hardcore putter guys

The branding in these is a mess.  Why two brands?  I’d be happy with odyssey milled or Toulon, but both looks weird.  Also Toulon’s logo stinks.  Make it a circle T or hex T and call it a day.  One man’s opinion…

I agree. Toulon must have something in their contract with Callaway that is causing both names to be on the putters. IMO I would do one of two things:

1. Toulon is milled and Odyssey is inserts. You only put one logo on. 

2. Everything is Odyssey logo’d and you get rid of Toulon naming/line but they continue to make the milled putters.

What is the release date of the 2023 Toulon line?

They released most recent line last year. Thought they were on 2-3 year release cycles with a couple one offs released each year.

I heard April, but I’m not sure they’re cycles. Source is fairly reliable so we will see

I'm hearing AI being used on the new Toulon line. Anyone else hearing the same thing?

Interesting if true and makes sense to use the super computer for anything they can since they already got it

I disagree, they do a lot. They’re not solely involved in the design of the milled Toulon’s, but also the Odyssey side. The branding isn’t great, I agree with the others saying it should all just be “Odyssey”, but their products are amazing IMO. Particularly their 2022 Toulon line

 

And at $600, the Toulon garage is a pretty nice deal considering how much people complain about the lack of different sight-line options offered by OEM’s. In addition to sight-line and paintfill/stamping options, you have different neck options, 2 finishes to choose from, 2 shafts options (steel or stroke lab), many shaft color options, and you can pick your desired head weight
