2023 Toulon Putters

[m_w]

• Release timeframe October - November 2023, seeding supposedly around September
• First putter series with an "AI" face
• Faces are based on millions of putts hit and reflect the most common misses to compensate for speed and directional drop off
• Described to me as a potential gamechanger even for the highest level of players
• Most shapes will return, some new ones added

An AI putter face??  Now I've heard it all.  

[MMB1500]

Sounds interesting, though last time I ordered one of their putters it came in 2" over spec. 

 

It was a too long Toulon.

Well I am not surprised they are jumping on the AI marketing hype train.  Is it really AI, or data analysis marketed as AI?  TBD

It's machine learning which is essentially marketed as "AI" today.

Makes sense to me to start using a robot to hit my AI designed Cally driver! 🙌🏼

🤣

Callaway has been 'doing AI' since like 2020 in the Mavrik line, way before the 2022 OpenAI hype train.

Please please please Las Vegas CH

[JDIL]

Fingers crossed for the Seattle shape

[JDTex]

I never liked their diamond milling, and it didn't seem all that popular on tour either, so I am really excited to see what they replace it with.

[EaglesGolf99]

- Palm Beach, yes please.

 

- Las Vegas NANO, yes please. 

 

- H7 Neck, yes please. 

 

- SMALL Mallet Headcover, yes please.

Any news in that Le Mans Tour shape?  They seem to keep posting it on socials. Love the straight lines. 

[Warrick]

Bring back the Portland.  
 

I don’t think I would change from my original, but hope to see it back in the lineup

The technology of a million “how did that not go ins” and a billions “you’ve got to be effing kidding me’s” packed into one compact face

I don’t like that stuff, or Twist Face, or anything else which presumes to know my mishits. 
 

What if my mishits aren’t typical? What if the super-duper AI tech magnifies my duffs rather than minimises them? What if I’m special? 😄

You are special. 

[BombsIntoTheWoods]

Maybe a Toulon bird shape would be some good timing.

 

Ended up running across it later, guess that is the Seattle model.

Great news. Love the Portland. Longest tenured club in my bag and no plans to change it! 

[gripANDrip1983]

I can’t believe Sean or Joe hasn’t come up with a milled 2 ball yet. If they brought one to retail…… take my 💰 

[Golfballwackerguy17]

Sounds like the Le Mans tour is coming. Might get a rebrand in the name. To be fair it’s ver similar to the versa twelve.

Agreed. If they managed to fit the 2-Ball design into a Daytona head shape, or something along the lines of the Ten, forget about it.

If you really want to go that route, can go old school and get a 2 Ball Milled Odyssey

[IsThatGood17]

Las Vegas rumblings would be awesome!!

I think I actually have one in my attic. Might have to try and dig it out.

Interesting, Sean Toulon no longer with Callaway:
