Chicago 2022

The 2022 Toulon Design Chicago is a face-balanced wide blade, per golfalot.com, built as a double bend blade with toe hang designed to work against face rotation through the stroke. The maker's page describes it as part of the Toulon Design Collection, carrying the Stroke Lab multi-material shaft and a Deep Diamond Groove Mill face pattern meant to produce a soft, crisp feel while promoting consistent forward roll. Carlsgolfland.com lists the head at 360g, with 3 degrees of loft, 70 degrees of lie, 30 degrees of toe hang, a three-quarter shaft offset, and a double bend neck. The finish is described by both the maker and golfalot.com as midnight black, and golfalot.com notes the dark emerald green Stroke Lab shaft, grip, and headcover, along with a simple white line for alignment.

Carlsgolfland.com's copy attributes the putter's forward roll to a medium depth double fly cut face and to a two split-weight design that shifts mass forward and toward the toe and heel, said to improve inertia and speed consistency. Golfalot.com describes the same adjustable system as running from 20 grams to 5 grams in 5 gram increments, and puts the shaft at 40 grams less steel than a standard steel shaft, with a longer graphite section closer to the head. Golfalot.com lists the putter at £379.

Reviewers who tested the 2022 Chicago alongside its companion Toulon models called it the most consistent, best-rolling, and softest-feeling of the line, per carlsgolfland.com, though the same notes flagged that a blade like this asks more of the golfer in lining up a putt than a mallet would. Golfalot.com's reviewer preferred the Chicago's looks within the 2022 range but found that it performed similarly, and at a high level, alongside the other model tested.
