Toulon Golf Announces Latest Small Batch Release – Tulsa
VISTA, CA – Toulon Golf, the maker of the most exquisite milled putters in the world, today officially announces our latest Small Batch putter – Tulsa.
About Tulsa Small Batch
Four-hundred-fifty-two miles north of Austin resides the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma — the namesake of our latest Small Batch creation. Tulsa has many charming attributes that drew us in. Aside from the incredible connection to championship golf — Tulsa’s own magnificent Southern Hills Country Club has hosted more PGA Championships than any other golf course — the town is famous for several other things that we draw inspiration from for our brand.
As a starter, Tulsa is known as the Capital of Route 66. This iconic highway runs through Tulsa and all the way to the West Coast, where it ends in Santa Monica, California. Secondly, from our very beginnings nine years ago, our graphic design has been rooted in the Art Deco style. Tulsa is a veritable hot bed for Art Deco architectural design that is rooted back to its vast oil discoveries in the 1920s. Many significant structures were built around this time, and stand today as phenomenal examples of the style, including the iconic Golden Driller.
In our first test with the prototype, we were struck by how nicely the putter sounded. We knew immediately it required a city name synonymous with sound.
Few cities have earned the distinction of its name recognized as changing the course of American music quite like Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Tulsa Sound mixed elements of blues, rock, and country music from the 50s and 60s, but only began to receive critical acclaim after Leon Russell found an old church for sale in the area. Churches in this era were unmatched acoustically and created pure and clean audio. Russell’s vision led to the founding of The Church Studio in 1972, which went on to forever change the heartbeat of rock ‘n’ roll. Musicians who honed their sound here include JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Bob Seger, Bobby Keys, Freddie King, and George Harrison. Tom Petty signed his first record deal at The Church Studio. Tulsa Small Batch was born.
The Putter: It’s All About The Sound
The body shape for Tulsa started with our Austin design, and we began massaging it from there. First, we tweaked the thickness of the face in strategic areas in an effort to help create a slightly deeper sound. Small variations in thickness can help create slightly different frequencies and pitches that the human ear can identify, and combined with other variables like hosel design, materials and mill patterns, we can begin to move the sound and resulting feel into a different place. This fine-tuning helps to create the sound that we were searching for — a deep and incredibly solid Tulsa Sound that provides the golfer with magnificent and rewarding feedback.
With Tulsa, we also introduce our new H5 hosel design. This hosel creates a putter with more toe hang than our H1 design, and is similar in look to the style used by one of the greatest putters in the game today. Tulsa is a perfect fit for golfers with moderate-to-more rotation in their strokes. Visually we wanted to inspire confidence for those golfers that like to rotate the blade more.
Tulsa Small Batch was inspired by many thoughts, but from the very beginning the performance goals were to create the perfect sound, the perfect feel and the perfect feedback. As always, we looked to create a piece whose top line, blade length and blade width is in appropriate proportion and is in harmony for size. The face mill pattern was chosen for its artistic flair — and with the addition of the Big Tuna over mill we have achieved the Tulsa Sound we were searching for.
The Finishing Touches
The graphics were inspired by both The Church Studio and Tulsa’s rich Art Deco history. From the Toulon script in the cavity, the simple Tulsa engraved on the sole, to the three lightning bolts, we wanted to pay tribute to all that makes Tulsa special. The rest of the package includes our Tour favorite Tour Satin Mist finish over our preferred 904L Stainless Steel. Candy Red and Blue paint fill pays tribute to the colors of the Oklahoma state flag, and we finish it with our Toulon Pistol Midsize grip in Candy Red.
