The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Toulon Design Indianapolis arrived in 2017 as part of the Toulon Design line, built around an X-wing style head that golfalot.com describes as constructed from 17 pieces, with a black carbon fibre crown the outlet says carries wings shaped to look like the wings on an Indy race car's nosecone. TGW.com reports the shape itself was inspired by an Indy race car, and that it was in fact the first head Toulon started working on, over two years before release, held back and launched later for strategic reasons according to that outlet.
The maker's page lists head weights of 360g, 380g, and 400g. Beyond that, most of what's on record comes from outlet reporting rather than the maker: golfalot.com cites a soft 6061 aluminium face with a Deep Diamond Mill pattern, a 303 Stainless Steel sole, a center of gravity 1.5 inches behind the face, and an MOI over 5400, while southpawsjourney.wordpress.com puts the MOI at more than 5000. Golfalot.com also details two 25g milled tungsten wingtip weights swappable for 35g or 45g versions, and shaft lengths from 33 to 38 inches. TGW.com notes the putter was played on Tour by Branden Grace, Patrick Rodgers, and Michelle Wie.
Reviewers were largely aligned on what the Indianapolis does well. Golfalot.com called it "a good looking and well thought out design" for golfers chasing "a high MOI face balanced putter," and southpawsjourney.wordpress.com agreed the added weight and complexity "can make the golfer more stable and have more control at the putt," pointing also to the alignment line on the carbon crown as a clear plus. Against that, the Community notes flag a sound described as a little more hollow than the all-steel heads in the line, a tendency for the head to want to fall open and back at address that requires careful hand positioning, and a price that golfalot.com says runs "an extra £50 on the already pretty steep price of the other models," a premium southpawsjourney.wordpress.com frames simply as costing more than the classic San Diego.

What the Community says
“If a high MOI face balanced putter is what you are after then the Indianapolis is a good looking and well thought out design.”
“This is a good putter because it is slightly heavier and more complex which can make the golfer more stable and have more control at the putt and the alignment line on the carbon is huge so there will be no problems with the line.”
