I've recently bagged an Odyssey Toulon - Austin putter and wanted to share a little story with you 6 months on of using it out on the course.
I've got to say that I absolutely love it. It's been performing wonderfully for me. The charcoal smoke aesthetics are incredible, the feel is a very distinctive "pock" sound at impact, the balance is phenomenal (which I feel might be to do with the stroke lab shaft). The weight is taken out of the shaft and weights are placed in the sole and the grip of the putter. The CNC milling on the face makes for a great roll. The over-sized grip has a nice feel to it sat in the hands
Overall, the price point is definitely on the expensive end of the spectrum but you really do get a good quality, premium product.
There's a nice little back story to why I bagged this putter too. So I thought i'd share with you guys on here. Watching the November Masters last year (yes I found it odd too). DJ absolutely cruised round and produced a really dominant display. My partner was heavily pregnant at the time and we were struggling to come up with names. She actually came and sat down with me on Masters Sunday in the evening and watched (the first time she's ever watched Golf, normally she hates any golf related talk what so ever!) and we watched DJ stroll up the 18th to putt out for victory. The commentators mentioned about his brother being on the bag for him and how he was so overjoyed and overcome with emotion on the 18th green at his brother winning his first green jacket. When the commentators said his name "Austin" myself and my partner just had a look at each other, and instantly loved the name, needless to say on the 14th December (2 weeks later than planned) she gave birth to our wonderful little boy Austin.
Once I'd seen the Austin (Putter that is) for sale I just knew I had to have it. It was expensive but it will be staying in the bag forever and hopefully I'll be able to hand it down to my little boy in the future to use. I know Francesco Molinari has it in the bag and Kevin Na uses an Toulon flatstick. I'm surprised to not see more Callaway staffers using them.
Do any of you guys have a Toulon and do you have any superstitions or links to your golf equipment such as this? I'd be interested to hear your stories.
