Callaway's INSANE Response To LAB GOLF - Is This THE END!?

[@jwheels9876]

Pre ordered the jailbird a few days back. At half the price of a custom L.A.B. putter, I think it's worth a try.

[@SteveFromStockport]

I need a wavy alignment line on my putter, to match my stroke. My guide dog reads putts for me and writes down the break in braille, because obviously, she can't talk.

[@lexluthr25]

Haha

[@craigmeikle7634]

Absolutely love the jailbird putter

[@stevemchattie2902]

'Potentially' The most used word since 'Delightful' 😂😂

[@joannaespley6035]

Think we're in danger of overcomplicating things

[@bradhend]

Oh dude we’re a couple decades passed that!

[@HareNcopA]

If anything this is simplifying things

[@GRIFF22]

This simplifies things....press forward until you can't see the white of the face , have a light grip and then it's just back and through???

[@bustinya2240]

if you read the line and start it on line, any putter will do the job.

[@jott1717]

[@HareNcopA]

Start it on line is the hardest part

[@brent1133]

not true

[@bradhend]

Got my hands on one of these a little early and love it. Only one round in so far but I can tell it does what they claim.

[@Misnjef]

True lie angle balance is a bit more refined than what callaway and PXG are doing here

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you for a very interesting video. Sensible, helpful advice.

[@Jaredxstp]

Grabbing that new L.A.B Oz putter with insert that’s coming out in December. Lab must be doing something right with all these golf giants trying to respond

[@Captainchaos14]

it’s not remotely close to “right”. it’s just the hot marketing. lab putters suck, and zero torque overall honestly is a very niche area way less people actually need

[@brawrecords]

Gimmick. Nobody will use these in ten years

[@Captainchaos14]

@@brawrecords more like three max

[@acewithchase7]

Sold my DF3 and got this last week. Jailbird head - it is fantastic. Looks much better than DF3 and putted just as well if not better with the Jailbird S2S.

[@brumfiba]

I have two labs (link and mezz max) that I was custom fit for. Love them. I got a square to square jailbird (at my same lie angle of 69 nice) and it is as good as my labs. The face insert feels great as well. At half the price, it's a no brainer.

[@ETBob51]

Since I am a big fan of World War 2 airplanes, the first thing I thought when I saw the Jailbreak putter was Invasion Stripes. I recently bought a center-shafted Wilson Staff South Side Infinite putter, and I love it. I was using an almost-center-shafted putter, so I wanted to try the real deal. It really helps with my line, especially on the three to five footers that I have had trouble with.

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

I have a LAB DF3. Hard to beat that putter. Should be illegal to use.

[@mrwwwebs]

Truly borderline cheating with the DF3. Thing just wants to go straight on its line.

[@hgibson2448]

I always find center shafted putters odd to stare down at. But, I have a straight back and straight thru technique. I think this is a flavor of the month fad - but I can be convinced to try it out. Anything to putt better!

[@garyfransen768]

They look nice but the basic idea here is not new, I've been using a center shafted putter for 25 years.

[@mattknight6830]

It's not just center shafting, the entire putter has no rotation if swung on a pendulum.

[@davidtomsett]

This will be the new trend now, all brands will be bringing these out.

[@davidallender9158]

I recently grabbed a 42” center shaft odyssey white hot “2. Put a Bryson DeChambeau putter grip on it. Putting has been much better compared to my old #7

[@mikereed3287]

Interesting that they are all center shafted. I love center shafted putters so I will try these when they are in the stores. Not sure which I would prefer.

[@Lovetheducks]

Just by its look I love how that jailbird or whatever it’s called looks behind the ball a lot. It’s very confidence inspiring. I use the same carbite putter since college I’m 49 now and this is the first putter I could see switching for. I’m excited to try it.

[@andrewayres1038]

Your grip is most important when holding any golf club but particularly in putting. If you can grip the club in a way that eliminates unnecessary wrist hinge then that will enable you to control speed and line consistently!

[@HDTVMAN100]

Where's the comparison with LAB? You can't because Odyssey twists.

[@johndomutz1052]

I have the Allen but wish this had been released sooner. I like the Odessy insert feel and miss its feel.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

I’m looking forward to trying one when I see one

[@wildriverguitarlockdownlic110]

If you get the pace and line right an umbrella handle is good. I use an ancient "My Day", an Anser shaped Ping, on "my day" it's great...

[@johnsoltau620]

Both of the Oddysey putters I currently use, a 2-ball and a number 7, have 38 inch shafts which I require to reach the ground. The longest Callaway is offering is 35.5 inches and they won’t make me a custom putter as long as I need at all this point in time. Hopefully by spring that will change.

[@coloshootr2945]

The 38" Cruisers are supposed to get released around January 2025.

[@garydavis8213]

The old, ugly, tingy, Cure putter has one piece of tech that no other putter has: the lie angle adjustment.

[@lexxwhite747]

I mean, at least the jailbird model doesn't look like a toilet bowl from the top down like LAB 😂

[@petedempsey6976]

I have the jailbird and its improved my putting sevenfold. It feels so nice to swing i actually enjoy using it and spend a lot more time practicing with it as its so much fun. I used to play off 12 and after putting this in the bag im now 9.1

[@EveryPuttCounts]

If you enjoy your practice, that is the key.

[@Bob-e3j5j]

i bought Odyssey center shaft when they released them 25 years ago with their white hot face, loved it. however, i really like the heavier putters these days.

[@paulaskey1508]

I have tried two different LAB putters and they are brilliant, but purely a personal thing I have just tried (and bought) the new #7 fang style square to square. For me feels better, looks better and half the price. Not slagging off LAB they are superb but just didn’t quite work for me.

[@boatbuilder781]

Would a reverse taper grip be over kill with one of these? Glad you did these, the price here is much better than the competition as well.

[@tellwilliams4493]

The number one putter with all the buzz you left out LAB

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I literally mentioned lab in the first sentence and in the title

[@JoeCoulson-pf3wb]

Great video James but lab is king!

[@gabrielpennington7166]

I want that Double Wide. I might wait until they do a Triple Track version. I wonder if they'll ever combine the AI face with Microhinge.

[@rupertwalters]

Stick with the shepherd the rest are sheep. #labgolf @labgolf

[@robertdevito9677]

I didn’t notice a difference from my Scottie phantom except on lag puts with the jailbird They were a bit longer.

[@bb-fe9ur]

I use a center shaft from the 90s converted to an arm lock.

[@MaxwellGolf]

Congrats on 270k subs

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mrneutral5081]

James I’ve watched enough of your videos to know you’re a good putter whatever is in your hands. What I think is that manufacturers all want a slice of the L.A.B. Market. I have many brands of putters because I’m not a good putter and willing to try anything. Scotty Cameron are my favourites by far, however, I’ve tried L.A.B. because of all the hype and whilst it doesn’t make me a great putter, I found the L.A.B. Link.1 gave me so much confidence I feel like a better putter. Let’s be honest Callaway et al have seen the success of L.A.B. and are getting involved to both widen its product range and expand its already huge market share.

[@gerardnugent72]

That No. 7 is a nice bit of kit

[@SigmaJAD]

Get an old McGregor Bobby Grace. Still have one from 2003(ISH). Don't know why I still don't use it. New shiny things, that's why. The Bobby V foil has centre shaft, weight placement and still looks futuristic. Not much is truly new

[@markhemmingway4624]

They just look awful at address, just can't get on with the centre shafted putters.

[@johng4767]

How is the left handed version looking?

[@mattneedham3595]

The jailbird is beautiful. Feels great too Tried the lab and the pxg and just too big and bulky for me

[@bjetsc]

Is this just all placebo effect?

[@Crumbleofborg]

Not for me. Don't like centre shaft, don't like plastic insert. Nice colour though!

[@robertcuomo7084]

Tried sq to sq jailbird demo at a retailer. Ball didn’t roll end over end when I tried it using TM response striped ball. So ……..

[@electricalstuff259]

So you didn't start it on the right line.

[@robertcuomo7084]

@ dead straight 10 ft putting with the striped ball by each of us positioned perfectly so …..

[@mattwhite2937]

Pxg callaway whoever will all suffer from lack of consistency every LAB is handmade no shot any other company takes that time

[@Ffff20244]

Will you test the new evnroll zero?

[@traviscrown9189]

Hey look another center shafted putter. Barf

[@andyfrizzell4352]

Centre shafted, about an inch behind the face. They'll sell as they're half the price. I'm sure a smaller OEM or DTC brands will do the same for half the price again

[@chrisduffield2747]

The test would be no 7 S2S Vs standard and also against something like Evnroll with gravity grip ?

[@vermeerrecpt9290]

It is getting ridiculous with all these weird looking putters. Bottomline is this, You Cannot Buy A Game.

[@brawrecords]

And the competition for the ugliest putters in the world, goes to...😮

[@gdeezy]

Anything L.A.B makes

[@larriedoliveira1175]

Love this technology, now more and more companies are making these types of putters

[@guyr7351]

I just feel some of the so called benefits and technology are a little bit like the emperor’s new clothes. When they start talking about shaft flex etc how fast are you swinging a putter. I just like a simple blade style, an aim mark and a milled face. Does that help Me read the line, the pace nope, and if you cannot do that you cannot putt well

[@stevewenzel4882]

Jail bird or Toulon .?

[@Ugghahbuggah]

There’s LAB, and then there’s the rest.

[@patrickmccormick4275]

Visited LAB HQ recently….played 18 holes with the new OZi and toured their facility…for anyone to compare both the technology or the build quality of these two brands is clearly uninformed….tried the jailbird as well….not suggesting one should purchase one brand over the other, however I am saying to suggest that these putters are even similar other than a center shaft, is FAKE news.

[@subsailor1445]

I don't think that LAB is looking in the rear view mirror at all. Even if the putter is close enough to LAB standards, the price will be the best seller for Callaway/Odyssey.

[@andrewhall7711]

December?

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Hands hold the grips of the putters. The hands, the eyes, the technique guides the path of the ball. Not zero head balance or face balanced. Go hit 10-20-100 practice balls with all your putters. Your technique, line, pace, read of turf makes the difference. Not the putter. Not a $1 putter or a $1000 putter will make a difference. I’ve done this with 7 putters that I have (though I have 3 or 4 that date back 30 or more years I didn’t use to test). But the style, my technique, my practice showed no significant difference in getting balls to within a 3’ diameter ring or hitting the pin. The practice certainly helped across the board in doing this exercise and testing. 3 of the 7 were face balanced. The cost of the clubs was $30 up to a used 2015 Scotty Cameron B back bought at a reasonable price.

[@micah6615]

I don't know I don't think that blade style putter looks right it looks like all they did was drill a hole in the center of the the putter and stuck a shaft in it

[@craigbrand712]

Picking mine up tomorrow 👍

[@mattias4393]

Another ”straight in the bag club”, great!👍

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Sorry your having a bad day

[@keithfinley2939]

Everyone interested should at least experiment with the SeeMores

[@micah6615]

James I got a question for you friend do you think the PGA Tour is going to allow these new AI Tesla robots used for caddies on tour imagine the reads they can give you LOL thanks mate enjoyed the Video

[@AndyW148]

They are just a lump of metal on the end of a stick once you have mastered the club you use. Why keep changing it ??

[@TmmyG]

Fad

[@gilmermartin3786]

First here! Are you giving one away?

[@grahams3417]

I like a bit of toe flow in my putter

[@richarddurek3130]

Stick with a blade putter and learn how to putt. Easy done.😁

[@Bettyswollocks8164]

Another Gimmick just in time for crimbo, no good if you have an Arc in your stroke like 98% of us, would be better off with a pair of Brad Faxons duplicate Rubber Arms that I can cellywack onto mine somehow, they will be telling us were holding the putter wrong way round next year🤔

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

😆😂

[@Steezyy17]

Zero torque putters are the biggest scam in golf lol Here’s something…PRACTICE

[@kenwatson4890]

When he misses a putt he stops and talks shit

[@kenwatson4890]

3-0 proves it’s all crap really and putting is all down to the persons skills not the club

[@kenwatson4890]

The fact he is missing putts shows this is just marketing I use a tank putter which is not AI or zero torque and it’s all about practice and grip touch and reading a green and practice practice Practice I just wish all these so called testers would use a straight putt level putt and put the putter in a automatic stoke machine and see what happens. I can tell you the results will all be the same no matter what putter you use

[@kenwatson4890]

3-0 so proves it’s all BS
