Hybrid golf clubs, often referred to simply as "hybrids," are a type of golf club that has become increasingly popular among golfers of all skill levels. They were introduced to the market as a hybrid between long irons (typically 2-5 irons) and fairway woods. Hybrids are designed to combine the best characteristics of both clubs to make it easier for golfers to hit the ball higher, farther, and with greater accuracy.

Here are some key features and benefits of hybrid golf clubs:

1. Clubhead Design: Hybrids typically have a clubhead design that combines elements of both irons and fairway woods. They have a wider sole and a lower center of gravity (CG) compared to long irons, making it easier to launch the ball into the air.

2. Forgiveness: Hybrids are more forgiving than long irons, which means that even if you don't hit the ball perfectly on the clubface, you're more likely to get a decent result. This makes them a great choice for golfers who struggle with consistency.

3. Versatility: Hybrids can be used in a variety of situations on the golf course. They are especially useful for hitting from the rough, fairway, or even out of fairway bunkers. They can also be used for chip and run shots around the green.

The Dogwood is the first post-Callaway Small Batch Toulon Design putter.The Toulon Design Dogwood features high-end steel construction and hand-polished finish.Available Aug. 24 at ToulonGolf.com with a MSRP of $2,000.

Today, Toulon Design is releasing the Dogwood putter, the latest in their Small Batch series of limited-edition putters. There are more than a couple of significant things about this release but, first, let’s explore the “Small Batch” label.

Small Batch putters are just that: made in small batches. Rather than being geared towards mass production, these putters represent explorations of what can be done with putter making when large production numbers are not required. Typically, the Small Batch putters also feature premium and sometimes unique materials.

I’ll use my favorite Small Batch putter, The Carbonetti Brooklyn, as an example. At its core, the Carbonetti Brooklyn is a Toulon Atlanta. What made this putter a Small Batch putter was that guitar maker Jimmy Carbonetti fashioned the putter’s sole plate from European elm, specifically from a tree that grew for a century and a half in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.

That level of uniqueness is what Toulon Design’s Small Batch is all about—making a small batch of unique putters.

Checking out the Toulon Design Dogwood

Initially, I found the Dogwood a bit mysterious. If I’m being honest, I spent more than a few minutes trying to figure out where I had seen the Dogwood shape before. I couldn’t associate it with another putter.
