I have an O Works #7 with the microhinge....Wondering how the Las Vegas compares. I putt well with the #7 style head, but the microhinge feels like you have to kill the ball 

Not sure if you got a response, but I agree with your take on the MH. I love that insert and have been on the “soft is better” train for a bit. My first Vegas showed up this week courtesy of the classifieds and I love this thing. My new mantra is “firm=feel”. It really talks to you. All that response gets put in the putting library for reference. That’s my take.

Got my Hollywood delivery yesterday.  Was disappointed to say the least.  Ordered with the upcharge Diamana shaft and as I mentioned in a previous post those shafts are .355 tips.  Toulon uses .370 hosels so one would expect they’d use a shim to fit.  Well took the putter out of the box and could clearly see the shaft was severely canted in the hosel and was way out of spec.  So I had to pull the shaft and refit with a shim to properly install so the shaft would be straight.  Pretty disappointing that after spending that much for a putter you get it with a crooked loosely installed shaft.

 

Other small issue is the finish is not the same as the Las Vegas I also purchased a couple weeks ago.  Vegas has a duller matte finish that does not glare.  Hollywood has a shiny top side finish.  I typically don’t like shiny polished putter finishes due to glare in the sun.  Will see how this one does…since it’s black it might not be an issue.  Pictures on the website don’t really match up though with regard to the actual finish.

I would think they would just tip trim the shaft to the polling where it becomes .370.

The more pictures I see of the Carlsbad, I kind of wish I would have gone with that. If anyone has a Carlsbad and is interested in trading for an Alc money me know.

They certainly did not do that.  Tip was .355 and as loose as you’d expect in a .370 hosel. Luckily I’m able to do my own club work and builds so I can fix stuff like that but annoying nonetheless.

I was thinking the same and have done it messing around with other shafts. I will say that they could have dragged that thing down a gravel road and it’d still be one of the best looking putters out there.

Curious to hear how you like the diaman 105 shaft once you get to roll it?

Will check back in for sure.   Carpet rolling feels good.  Will see how it does outside in the wild soon

Definitely recommend reaching out to @Toulon! I've had nothing but great CS experiences speaking with Sean and Preston.

I think I’d reached out to them first before the bash. Things happen sometimes. The fact that they are accessible and participate here is HUGE in my book. 

[MerryTex]

I agree with the comments above. I get being frustrated with something you want to be perfect—it's part of being a customer. 

[Toulon]

Hi all!  We've spoken with PC98 - who has been a wonderful supporter of our company and we've got this under control.  He's been awesome to work with and he'll have a putter that he'll love asap.  And we'll dig into what happened here in the first place and change what needs to change.  I believe we are very good at what we do, and committed to getting better.

 

We only focus on two main things at our company - 

 

1.  Make the very best products we possibly can.

2. Make sure the customer experience with us is incredible.

 

Pretty fundamental we know, but it drives us every day.  

 

We love the Diamana shaft, and its a bit of a tricky build - but we are the largest seller of this shaft in the US.  We've done a lot of these and we'll make sure we get it perfect for him!

 

Best,

 

Sean

👆 This is why they're simply above so many.

Mostly just here to echo the support of @Toulon - these guys “just get it”. Just got An Alcatraz and am going to be ordering a Las Vegas. 

[dmeeksDC]

I am down to the Miami or Carlsbad. Still mulling, leaning to Miami partly because I have not ever gamed a 2-ball putter. This one looks so nice. Miami has a great shape and I like that it is similar to a Spider in size, maybe a tad smaller.

2 for 2 my friend. Putter arrived today and can't say enough good things about the quality and attention to detail, not to mention the effort and work you guys put in to make this happen. Top of the list when it comes to catering the experience and helping a customer get the exact putter they want. Thanks Sean and Preston!

That's awesome.  Now got me imagining a Carlsbad broom 🤔

Sean and Preston did a great job getting this set up right. I was also thinking the Miami would be a great set up for a broom. Liking the face milling too, nice feel and feedback. 

[Pnwpingi210]

Is the stock stepless shaft a ct tour?

That putter looks great!!

[MerryTex]

I ended up doing a little experiment on La Jolla. Hovlandsteined it and extended to 37” and the Winn grip. It’s added some mass and taken my hands out of the stroke which causes some inconsistencies.

I have owned too many Toulon’s to count over the past few years and follow these threads regularly. I pass on my insight whenever I am asked about my putters or options they offer. Plus, the staff is excellent and has always helped me find a solution over the years.

 

I do tinker with mine minimally with grip, paint or weights at times. I am a less is more guy with putting. Blacked out or no major sight lines is my preference along with a muted/dark head color. I have enough accessories for a tour truck my wife believes. I assure you she is wrong, but not far off 😉.  My go to setup’s are the DB and Atlanta/Chicago heads. I have 2 Garage Atlanta’s in DB (34”) and a stock Chicago DB (34”) that are perfect for me.
Of my 4 current putters I have had the Chicago (34”) the longest and will not move on from it.  This putter led me down the DB route and is still my go to hosel.  I bought it used with some blemishes on the under side, but that’s okay since I only look at the top of the head when putting (it’s perfect). I had tried a few other hosels and many head versions prior to owning this setup. I play them all pretty stock besides the Garage models. 2 of them I use a Garsen Ultimate grip and the Chicago (34”) uses a T30 plate. Below I have included some basic pics.  I just rotate them by season primarily. The black and green Atlanta only goes out only on sunny dry days. It’s as close to perfect as it can be for me. And yes, it’s a jewel and not a tool. Plus, it rolls it incredibly well. The red version was built for the tool days. 🤷‍♂️

 

So, I was bored a few months back and picked up a brand new Chicago (33”). Yep, still in the original packaging. I had not rolled, painted or re-gripped this putter until recently. I was unsure if I would like a 33” putter after rolling a few other 33” setups with a local pro. He had a bag full of new putters at the putting green so I became curious. I thought I was at an unknown tour event by the amount of putters he had and I knew it was not Hideki. So, with the help of Preston this past week I did some more tinkering and this setup is rolling well as of today. I took it out for a session today before 2 rounds this weekend. The balance is now great for me. I had tried other weights, but the pic below shows the sweet spot for me. 
 

I will say the past few models have really tempted me along with looking/reading through everyone’s comments/pics. Preston and I have talked about a new build.  We shall see where that goes with one of the newer heads similar to the Atlanta in DB.

 

As long as they are producing putters I will be rolling @Toulon and passing on the word like I have for many years.

Good looking collection. I always dream of a Chicago with plumbers neck, but being a lefty it’ll never happen. One can dream tho. 

[dmeeksDC]

Spent an obsessive amount of time looking at all the Toulon options and trying similar putters to help me on the mallets. What a lineup! There is not a putter I don’t like. Could put me in an Alcatraz Mini or a Charleston or a New York City or a Hollywood. So beautiful and well designed. 

 

Made my decision and have ordered a Miami with the H1 hosel. I like that it has forward CG but also stability and is not huge. It is almost the exact size of the Odyssey AI Milled Eight T, which is a touch smaller than my Spider, and I prefer the overall shape and lines on the Miami. Being able to get it with a plumber’s neck was key. 

 

Preston was very helpful and so was another Miami owner, @getair23. Thanks guys! I’ll post photos when it arrives.

Welcome to the crew! You’ve got an awesome option there. You can’t go wrong with their putters.

First time posting here and ill update with pictures soon but I cant believe how good Toulons customer service is. I emailed about a bit of a custom project and got a reply from Preston. I dont think ive ever reached out to a company and got a reply directly from one of the founders. To my surprise they are able to do exactly what i wanted and i put in an order for my first Toulon putter today. Cant wait to see it in person when its finished.

Best I've ever received from any company.  Look forward to buying another putter from them.

I do not need a new putter and love my Scotty Jet Setter but may buy a Toulon just because of the above.
