Fast Facts about the Toulon Design Sea Island Small Batch Putter
Named after the world-famous golf destination Sea Island in Georgia.The Toulon Design Sea Island features “Rolex” 904L steel and 6061 aluminum construction.Available Nov.16 at ToulonGolf.com with a MSRP of $1,800.Pack your bags. We are heading to Georgia for some golf. No, I didn’t finagle us a tee time at Augusta. Instead, we are heading to Georgia’s Golden Islands to experience the amazing golf found on Sea Island.
Actually, we are not going anywhere today. Our bosses would probably be unenthusiastic about us ditching work anyway. That said, how about we take a daydream vacation to Sea Island?
I’ve booked us the perfect golf guru for our meditative adventure. Sean Toulon is one of golf’s heavy hitters. He’s going to guide us through all of the golf Sea Island has to offer.
OK, so that’s a bit of stretchy truth. Mr. Toulon was thinking about Sea Island when he designed the new Toulon Golf Small Batch putter. We are going to check out the putter and, by doing so, explore the essence of Sea Island.
Why Sea Island?
As a West Coast guy, I don’t know much about Sea Island. I seem to remember world leaders meeting there during the G.W. Bush tenure but that’s about the extent of my knowledge. Obviously, I needed to do a little digging to see why Toulon Golf would name this putter Sea Island.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
I sent a pair of my shoes to Custom Cleats. The company specializes in shoe conversions (turning everyday shoes or sneakers into cleats) and they just released their brand-new golf cleat.
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. After seeing a Phillies pitcher throw a no-hitter in a pair of Vans that he had turned into baseball cleats, I knew I had to find the company that made it possible.
A few weeks (and emails) later, I was able to send my personal pair of Jordan 1s to Custom Cleats to be converted into spiked golf shoes.
Who is Custom Cleats?
Custom Cleats has been converting everyday shoes into functioning cleats for nearly 20 years. You need only glance at their social media to find a host of professional athletes that have taken the Custom Cleats plunge.

Every golfer is aging. We all need tips to take advantage of methods to improve our game. Flexibility and strength are always changing as we age so we should be using every trick in the book to keep up with our rivals. Christo Garcia recently provided a great list of tips to improve any golfer’s game.
Lift your Leading Heel: As you age, you lose flexibility, so your ability to windup in your backswing gets shorter every year. One way to increase your rotation is to lift you leading heel in your backswing to give you a little more rotation for more swing distance and longer drivers. Jack Nicklaus did it throughout his career.
Shift Your Grip Back: Take your normal stance and then rotate both of your hands back on your grip. When you try this, shallow your downswing and swing with your trailing elbow closer to your side as you power your club up the slot for more distance and a nice draw.
Swing to Swoosh Your Club: If you can’t hear your club swoosh through impact, your swing is most likely too slow. Practice by holding the head end of any club and creating a swooshing sound as your wrists release your handle through the bottom of your swing. Now flip your club and create that sound by holding your grip properly.
Golf Tips Magazine used this double shot to illustrate where you need to generate your fastest speed (and swoosh)
Start your Downswing with Your Hips: Your downswing actually starts while your hips start to shift their weight forward during the transition at the top of your backswing. Let your weight shift to your leading hip as you rotate your shoulders then your arms and finally your wrist release. Unwind and deliver more power and distance.
