Introducing the Toulon Small Batch Badlands Putter: A Game-Changer for Golf Enthusiasts
Hey there, golf lovers! If you’re always on the hunt for the best gear to elevate your game, you’re in for a treat. Toulon Golf has just dropped their latest Small Batch putter, the Badlands. Inspired by the stunning Badlands National Park in South Dakota—smack in the middle of North America—this putter is designed to promote center-face strikes and enhance your putting game. Let’s dive into what makes this putter special!
The Heart of Badlands
Located at the geographic center of the U.S., Badlands National Park is known for its striking landscapes, much like Toulon Golf’s latest creation. The Badlands putter is a center-shafted model expertly designed for players who prioritize precision. The name itself represents balance, making it a perfect fit for golfers looking to nail those crucial putts.
Going with the Flow: Shape and Design
You’ve probably noticed a growing trend on the tour with center-shafted putters, especially mallets. But Toulon decided to flip the script with a sleek blade design in their Badlands putter. After witnessing a center-shafted blade take the win at the first event of the season in Hawaii, they became curious about the benefits of this unique design. Their research led to many golfers asking, "How can this improve my game?" Let’s just say, Badlands delivers on those inquiries!
A Clear View
Now, let’s talk about a key aspect—the hosel design. Toulon knew they had to perfect how the hosel meets the head and top line to give players an unobstructed view of the ball. By eliminating any onset, they managed to provide a full view when you’re lined up to sink that putt. A clear view can make a world of difference, right?
Toe Hang and Feel
In an effort to make the Badlands even better, they added a little toe hang to the design. By positioning the hosel slightly toward the heel, they improved the overall look from address and allowed for natural toe flow. If you’re someone who likes to create a bit of arc in your stroke, you’ll appreciate this feature!
Material Matters: The Science Behind the Feel
Feel and sound are crucial when it comes to putters, and Toulon decided to go big with new materials. The Badlands is crafted from 316L Stainless Steel—a material that’s beloved by Swiss watchmakers for its durability and performance. This choice not only improves the sound but also enhances the feel, making every putt a bit more satisfying.
The Sound of Success
But they didn’t stop there! Toulon also worked on achieving a crisp sound with their new face milling pattern. By using shallow tool paths, they created a visual shimmer that enhances both the audio and tactile feedback during your stroke. It’s these little touches that really elevate the overall experience.
Classic Yet Contemporary Design
At first glance, you can tell the Badlands has Toulon’s DNA in it. The design is rooted in their classic Austin model but has been fine-tuned to deliver an even better experience. Featuring a wide cavity Dalehead style, this putter is about creating visual space while allowing you to engage in subtle toe flow.
A Touch of Gold and Custom Features
What’s cooler than a stylish putter? One that has personality! The Badlands is decked out with gold sole weights that bring its total weight up to a modern 350 grams. It’s slow-milled and polished to perfection, complete with an engraved eagle that adds a unique touch. Plus, the cleverly designed soles feature a 2-degree draft angle, making alignment a breeze!
Aesthetic Appeal
This putter doesn’t just perform—it looks fantastic too! The Badlands showcases a Dark Chocolate finish over the smooth 316L stainless steel, enhanced with sunset orange, cream, and hints of gold that evoke the picture of a setting sun over rugged terrain. We all know that looking good on the course boosts your confidence!
