Small Batch Rochester

The Rochester is the best of yesterday meeting the best of today. A mid-mallet that blends modern multi-material engineering with timeless blade cues, it pays homage to the genius of Donald Ross, who forever shaped the game in Rochester, New York.

At its core, Rochester balances contrasts. It carries the forgiveness and alignment of a mallet while maintaining the flow and face awareness of a blade. Its shoulders—drawn from Ross’s iconic Turtleback greens—are literally turned over, forming an inverted teacup that cascades into soft organic back bumpers. The profile feels as if it was carved by nature; water flowing over stone, echoing the rolling hills Ross once sculpted into Oak Hill.

Complex curves and subtle radii combine with a classic “dalehead” silhouette, all executed through Toulon's intricate slow-milled process in premium 904L stainless steel. The result is a shape both fresh and familiar—modern performance with roots in tradition.

Paired with the H1 hosel, Rochester offers 35 degrees of toe hang—ideal for players with a natural arc in their stroke. Its new Fine Diamond Mill pattern, with smaller, shallower grooves, delivers a sound and feel that are wonderfully soft, yet alive with feedback.

On the sole, front-loaded adjustable weights spread mass toward heel and toe, while the emerald green 6061 aluminum sole plate rebalances weight to the perimeter for improved forgiveness and resonance. The head weighs in at 365 grams, matched with a black stepless shaft and the Toulon Pistol Midsize grip in dark green. Four oak trees are lasered into the sole, symbolizing Ross’s four Rochester masterpieces and paying homage to the iconic Hill of Fame on Oak Hill’s 13th hole.

Finished in Toulon's lustrous Tour Satin Black over high-polished 904L, Rochester reveals its complexity in every curve without a hint of glare. The look is completed with a custom dark green leather headcover, badged with an “R” over a green and cream backdrop, a nod to the awnings covering Oak Hill’s clubhouse terrace.

In the Small Batch Rochester, Toulon sought to honor the genius of Donald Ross—his belief in working with the land, shaping beauty from nature, blending form and function by creating a putter that feels timeless in hand yet alive with modern precision.
