Toulon Design Memphis Putter

Mallet Putter

The Memphis is the oddball in Toulon Design's 2022 lineup, and that's exactly why it exists. Most mallets are built face balanced and marketed to golfers with straight-back-straight-through strokes. The Memphis goes the other way. It has mid toe hang, which means it's a mallet built for players whose putter face opens and closes through the stroke. If you've always putted well with a blade but wanted a little more stability at impact, this is the club Toulon made for you.

Like the rest of the Toulon family, it's a milled putter sold at a premium price, and it looks the part. The head is a compact, rounded mallet with clean lines and no sightline anywhere on it. That last detail matters. Toulon left the crown completely bare, which will delight some golfers and disqualify the putter for others before they ever roll a ball with it.

There's no gimmick here. No adjustable weights to fiddle with on the practice green, no insert, no paint job screaming for attention. It's a shaped piece of milled steel that asks you to aim it with your eyes and release it with your natural arc.

Design

Toulon mills its putters from stainless steel, and the face carries the brand's signature deep diamond milling pattern. The idea is a softer feel and sound off the face than a flat-milled putter, with a groove structure that helps the ball start rolling sooner. Feel is subjective, but Toulon faces have a distinct muted click that regulars in this category tend to recognize immediately. The Memphis gets its mid toe hang from the neck rather than from weight tricks inside the head. Hold it balanced on a finger and the toe droops toward the ground at roughly a 45 degree angle, which is the fitting shorthand for a slight-to-moderate arc stroke. The rounded flange keeps the profile compact at address, closer to a mid-mallet than the wide-body shapes that dominate this category.

Who It's For

• Players with an arcing stroke who want mallet stability without switching to a face-balanced putter that fights their natural release.
• Blade putters looking for a bit more forgiveness on off-center hits who don't want to give up the look and feel they're used to.
• Anyone who aims off the topline and finds sightlines distracting, since the crown has no alignment markings at all.
• Golfers willing to pay milled-putter prices for feel and craftsmanship rather than adjustability features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Toulon Memphis face balanced?

No. The Memphis has mid toe hang, which is unusual for a mallet. Most mallets are face balanced and suited to straight-back-straight-through strokes. The Memphis is built for players whose stroke has a slight to moderate arc, so the face naturally opens on the backswing and closes through impact.

Does the Memphis have an alignment line?

No, the crown is completely clean with no sightline or dot. You aim it using the topline and the shape of the head. Some golfers aim better this way, but if you rely on a sightline to square the face, this putter will be a tough adjustment.

What stroke type fits the Toulon Memphis?

A slight to moderate arc. Mid toe hang generally matches golfers whose putter head travels on a gentle curve rather than straight back and through. If a fitter has told you that you have some arc in your stroke, the Memphis fits that profile while still giving you mallet-level stability.

What is the face milling on the 2022 Toulon putters?

Toulon uses a deep diamond milling pattern cut into the face. It softens the feel and sound at impact compared to a lightly milled face and is designed to get the ball rolling end over end sooner. There's no insert, so what you feel is the milled steel itself.

How does the Memphis compare to other Toulon mallets?

The Memphis is the arc-stroke option in the mallet family. It's more compact than Toulon's larger high-MOI shapes, and the toe hang sets it apart from the face-balanced models. Think of it as the mallet Toulon built for blade players, smaller profile, more face rotation, same milled construction and price tier.
