Touring ST

Some things don't need to announce themselves. They arrive composed, settled, and completely certain of what they are. No excess. No theatre. Just the confidence of something that has already figured out exactly what it needs to be.

The Touring ST is that kind of object.

Touring

The Touring line represents the more refined side of the DRVN stable.

Where the Mark One pursues tension and aggression, the Touring collection moves in a different direction entirely. Softer transitions, flowing surfaces, proportions that reward patience rather than demand attention. The philosophy comes from an era of grand touring sports cars built not simply for performance, but for the experience of using them. Machines that felt rewarding on a winding road long after the trends around them had moved on.

The Touring collection follows that same mindset. Restrained geometry. Balanced proportions. A design language centered around timelessness rather than theatre.

ST

Sport Touring. Two words that in the right context carry enormous weight.

The ST represents the most compact and refined expression of the Touring line. Where the Six Four draws from classic air-cooled proportions and the LT from aerodynamic racing engineering, the ST arrives from a different place entirely. Sleeker. More resolved. The kind of shape that feels inevitable rather than designed.

The horizontal slots along the rear and side profile draw from the ventilation and bodywork details found on some of the most significant grand touring cars ever produced. Cars where every surface transition served a purpose and nothing existed for decoration alone. The detail is precise and deliberate, immediately familiar to anyone with the right frame of reference.

Machined from 303 stainless steel and finished in PVD black, the ST carries a different presence than the aluminum Touring models. Denser. More planted. The material gives the head a weight and seriousness that suits its character completely. In hand it feels less like a sporting instrument and more like something that belongs in a different conversation entirely.

The most compact head in the Touring line. The most serious finish in the stable.

Insert System

In motorsport the tire compound isn't an afterthought. It's one of the most consequential decisions made before a session begins. Same road, same car, same driver. Different compound, different character entirely.

The Touring ST operates on the same principle.

DRVN's interchangeable insert system allows the character of the putter to be tuned from the inside out. Material selection changes not just how the strike feels but how the head sounds, how it responds through the hands, and how it sits in terms of total mass. Aluminum inserts carry the head lighter and more fluid. Stainless inserts add weight, presence, and a more planted sensation through the stroke.

The putter doesn't change. Everything about how it responds does.

Inserts

GT3 — Standard A crisscross milled face that delivers balanced response and a slightly softened strike. Lively without sharpness. The starting point for most, and the permanent choice for many.

GT2 — Medium A pill-dash groove pattern that quiets the impact character. Smoother sensation, reduced acoustic presence, more controlled release. For players who prefer feel without commentary.

GT1 — Firm A fine-milled stainless face with a more defined strike and sharper audible response. Direct. Mechanical. The head speaking clearly through the hands.

GT1-R — Firm+ A raw, unmilled stainless face. No grooves, no surface interruption. Pure material meeting ball. Maximum communication, nothing filtered, nothing softened. Every detail of impact transmitted exactly as it happened.

Configuration

The ST ships standard with the GT3 aluminum insert. A balanced starting point that suits most strokes and most conditions.

The ST is the most compact head in the Touring lineup and the only one built from 303 stainless steel throughout. Where the aluminum Touring models feel composed and fluid, the ST feels planted and direct. The stainless body adds a density and head awareness through the stroke that suits players who want more connection and feedback than a larger mallet delivers.

It is less forgiving than the Six Four or LT by design. More responsive. More communicative. Built for players who prefer to feel exactly what the stroke is doing rather than having the head absorb that information on their behalf.

Aluminum configurations soften the overall character slightly while preserving responsiveness. Stainless configurations bring the ST fully into its most direct and connected state.

Neither is correct. Both are intentional.

Origin

There is a certain point that some drivers reach where simplicity stops being a compromise and becomes the whole point. Where the most involving experience isn't the most aggressive one. Where restraint and response in equal measure is exactly what they were looking for all along.

That understanding finds its way into everything they choose.

Build

Each ST is precision milled from 303 stainless steel, hand-finished, and individually inspected before assembly. Tolerances across the insert system and sole geometry are held to exacting standards throughout.

The ST ships with the DRVN Carbon Core shaft. A fully custom high gloss carbon fiber shaft, stiff flex, built specifically for DRVN. Carbon fiber is not a common material in golf shafts. In almost every other performance discipline it is the default. Lightweight, rigid, and engineered to transmit rather than absorb. On a putter built around feedback and connection, the shaft is not an afterthought. It is part of the conversation.

Built in limited batches. Not because production requires it. Because the standard does.
