No Black Barons!?

Love the fitting video and this one. The one question i have is "with how specific this putter is made for you, how would one ever buy one used?"

Talk about confirmation bias, this video is awesome! You can see the night and day difference in the “clout” putter vs one that actually helps you sink putts! Ordered my LAB at the beginning of June and I can’t wait for that sucker to show up!

Good video but you’re comparing apples to oranges. Phantom vs LAB would provide more equitable feedback for viewers to use as they see fit.

This fitter constantly saying, “Does that make sense” would drive me nuts!

Thanks for the insight here! I’m also a golf tinkerer and ordered one of these last week… may have to retire all the Scotty swag haha

Nice vid, QQ - even though both are 33” long you have a 70 deg lie angle on the Scotty vs 74 on the DF3. Did LAB fit you into 74, and if so, perhaps you would be more consistent with the Scotty bent up to 74 if that lie angle is a better match for you? I have a Link1 and I’m struggling with distance control, I think it might just be too heavy for me. I may consider a DF3 with lighter weight build, also checking out Edel fitting.

The fact that u been gaming the Scotty for years and u just whip the DF3 out with more consistency is impressive

No expert here, but just overall, mallet putters are far more stable than blades. I switched from a mallet to a SC blade and I can tell the difference. I like my SC and putt well with it. I think it's based on the putting skill level of the user. To the eye, the blade looks sleeker which psychologically enhances confidence, that's important too. For beginners, mallets should be the go-to.

Great video! How tall are you?

You found out like I did. LAB putter more consistent, even more so as time goes on. It takes time to get over compensation from using a anser style putter with head rotation

“That was me not the putter.” Sus.

I have done extensive testing all versions of lab putters versus my scotty newport 2 and i ended up making more and having better control with scotty. I think a lot of this depends on your stroke. People that struggle with putting will benefit from a lab, but more precise putters will not see the benefit - that was my finding. Lab makes great putters, but like all clubs, it may not be for everyone. I also found the lab (all versions) to have less feedback and distance control was not as good as my scotty. I do think there lab can help the majority of golfers with poor strokes, however, when you're dialed in with the putter, nothing beats the feel, balance, look, and framing of the ball than a scotty.

how does it match up to the TM spider tour?

I love the look of the lab blade

Looked like you were over rotating with Scotty. Get a little larger grip and you may see some of those left misses go in.

Sell the Scotty already can’t make anything with it lol

Great vid. The lab putter looks slick AF. Always love the content, Tinker. Keep it comin! 🙌🏼

Love this video. No frills really gives you the experience of being there

Trails is the most underrated course

Still need to make it out to Bandon Crossings after 4 Bandon Dunes Trips

i did the online fitting and discussed that back and forth with the fitter who was super responsive. Ended up with a DF3, TPT shaft in Platinum. Have played it now for a couple weeks and absolutely love it. 50 years of battling the figure 8 back swing is gone.. on rails. So good.

Not much available in Canada to try. Couldn't stomach spending that much or committing long term without trying. And definitely didn't want to get used since these are fitted for lie angle. Ended up with a jailbird mini after trying everything. Hopefully they become more popular and I can try some next time I need a putter (hopefully never)

Still believe they will end up all hype? If not, may have to rob a bank 2 get 1?

put a scotty headcover on them LOL

So glad you had a chance to play Bandon's "Other" course! It's a privately owned Public course that welcomes all players and is well-loved by locals, including many of the caddies and employees from the big resort down the road. Just to brag, GOLF magazine listed it in the Top 100 courses in the US under $150.

Bucket list ish

What happened to the other guy on hole 13? Looks like he fell apart. 15:25

Best resort. Hands. Down!

Best course in the world 🔥 love the content brotha

Bandon's practice facility is the best!

Great video had a blast playing that course with Tinker golf man! next time you're in Sonoma County Ca area, reach out I owe you a round!

What dates were you here?? What’d you think of the conditions? Lots of people saying it’s struggling

Bro what a dream!

First pair of Jordans. Are these true to size?

where you based out of?

Did they check your bag if you had brought golf balls?

LIV or PGA tour? Course looks sweet

Mine after a couple years keeps sliding down the alignment stick

I've just put one on my 50 degree.... absolute game changer

I like this grip only when the logo is upside down. The asymmetrical design when the logo is facing down puts a oval shape of the softer synthetic leather right where the left thumb would be. Allows me to have a very sturdy and relaxed left thumb and helps me grip my club the same every time. When the logo is facing up you don't get that oval of synthetic leather where the thumb would be.

The 2023 Z Star XV is a three piece ball. 2021 was a four piece but they have changed it.

Playing there next month. Can’t wait

I'll forever regret passing on club cameron that year.

I’ve got this still boxed up

Wow dude 🔥🔥

Have my p7tw irons since 2020… fucning love them… 3-4 iron are fairly hard to hit but when struck purely…butter

I just picked up Nike tour victory 2 thistle us open shoes for 250$, thoughts, shoes too clean, should I rock or stock bro

Good stuff, he was that a camera phone? do they allow you guys to film on the course?

WTS 45EU white used but they are 9/10
