Do they actually feel any different? L.A.B. Golf Putter review

[@vwhite3217]

I have been enjoying my 2.1 for several years and decided to upgrade to the DF3. Went to my local Club Champion for the fitting that went well but now 9 weeks after the order was placed and still no putter!! Very disappointed in the lack of customer service from L.A.B. - zero. Apparently the recommended upgraded shaft is listed under unobtainium on the periodic table.

[@golfsciencelab]

Shoot! I'm sure it'll be there soon. What difference did you notice between the 2.1 and DF3?

[@michaelburton4489]

Dang came across this video and was excited for the content. Could not get over the fact that you didn’t even try to make any putts (or maybe you did and this video proves it’s not the wand)

[@golfsciencelab]

HAHA. I guess I should have focused on that more based on comments here. Was just hitting putts and trying to describe the difference in how they were feeling.

[@jeffgill8739]

I tried a Mezz 1 Max (left hand) off the shelf in a golf store a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Did some research, but I'm wondering if the fitting process providing the homemade video and then the subsequent wait time are worth it for a 15+ handicapper? Would there be a real difference? I was making every putt in the store.

[@golfsciencelab]

You could do the online fitting and see how close the specs of the standard one is to what they tell you would be best.

[@lkae4]

I think the heavier head alone is worth it. I just got a heavier Mezz Max at 37" and I really like it on medium greens. Store putting surface is usually pretty quick.

[@wiscobuckeye]

Love my lab 2.1. Been using it for 4 years now.

[@DerekBraid]

Good stuff, I have tried them very briefly at local golf shop, need some more time with the OG DF. It looks funny but seems widely loved.

[@golfsciencelab]

Yes would recommend!

[@klaymoon1]

I’m interested in that broomstick. I don’t know why but it looks good to my eyes.

[@golfsciencelab]

I felt the same way. Didn't need to do but it has made putting more fun.

[@jasonmarch288]

Someone tell him to aim right of the hole....so frustrating watching him miss left constantly.

[@jasonseeley6677]

Love this video.... Great information. FYI.... that putt breaks more than you think. 🤣

[@arpus1995]

I been playing with a garage built broom stick and been loving it. About to pull the trigger on Mezz max but with the upgraded shaft you looking at 1k + for a putter. That seems a bit in the crazy category.

[@golfsciencelab]

It's really fricking good 😬 I'm enjoying the broomstick lifestyle this season.

[@CjBallerTheFirst]

Will you do an updated review with the DF3 from Lab?!

[@golfsciencelab]

Need to!

[@fudhater8592]

I have the 2.1, it's the best golf money I've ever spent

[@EW-qn2rx]

It's gona be fun to compare DF3 VS DF2.1

[@golfsciencelab]

Need to try that one out for sure!

[@MJ1331EL]

Time to get the DF3.

[@golfsciencelab]

Might need to do it!

[@aldogonzalezjr]

That’s funny cause for me the Mezz feels more stable than the DF series

[@andyg817]

The long putter suites golfers with or had the yips....😊

[@franciskennedy1930]

How many strokes gained putting would warrant spending $350-$600? Three years ago my Tommy Arm🎉our was First overall at $149. With the Dick's sales price and a discount coupon my price new was $99. My putts saved was 3 strokes a round on average. Three putting became ALMOST non-existent.

[@golfsciencelab]

Sounds like you have a winner there. What would lead you to make a switch away from it?

[@franciskennedy1930]

@@golfsciencelab Price of a solid stick that feels great in my stroke. Currently I have a Pyramid Rosie that I'm trying out. A friend gave me a brand new one that his wife hated...it cost him $25 dollars in our game!!

[@ryanu3708]

Show me some stats. This is all anecdotal just like most golf marketing. Show me some legit tour player stats before the LAB and after the LAB showing improvement. Im still gaming a 1992 Ping Anser. I’ve yet to test anything against it that makes me a better putter.

[@manoel2519]

I'd say that if pga players like adam scott choose to use lab putters while not being paid at all, its a pretty good indicative that they work

[@alexurban7744]

My first round with the df3 I had 23 putts, 13 one putts. I average 34.8. It’s just so easy to hit my line and roll it end over end. So all I have to worry about it speed now. Not subconsciously trying to avoid a pull or push at the same time. I had the link before but just didn’t fit my eye and stroke but the df3 definitely does.

[@aemk6129]

If you’ve not tried it yet and don’t feel the need, then don’t. It’s not made for everybody, but without trying it, you’ll never know. Simple. If it works for you, buy it. If not… The L.A.B. Link 1 has been great in MY bag, I assume the DF3 and/or Mezz may offer a bit more tech that could result in fewer putts and lower scores. I haven’t tried yet, but certainly wouldn’t assume it’s a gimmick without trying.

[@darkh0st]

I think what’s really happening here is people are getting “fitted” instead of buying right off the shelf. The putter is great, but I produce the same results with an Odessey One. But, the LAB is perfect for an amateur player trying to force a putt.

[@chadblackwood579]

Try it , see for yourself

[@mattdipadua3614]

Curios y no df3

[@golfsciencelab]

Don’t have one yet! Need to!

[@BaxGolfPNW]

Love my Broom Mez Max 1!

[@golfsciencelab]

Same! I'm a couple months in and finally feeling more comfortable.

[@BaxGolfPNW]

The view over the putter with a broom, coupled with what I can only explain as a bowling/rolling arm swing to measure speed is so simple. Yes, there is a learning curve, but once you get over the stigma bull it produces so many on my line roll outs it’s amazing. Put a line on a ball and compare to your standard putter, no chance you get it rolling end over end like a Lab! This will be like snowboarding in time, if you were around in the 90’s and skied you get the reference.

[@golfsciencelab]

Agreed!

[@maxwellhowell]

The only lab putter i like. Is the df ...the others look cool but dont equal the df in feel and balance. Imo. . . The original df is my next used putter. I may never sell my newport gss..... so solid. No putter has ever felt so smooth to me as the df. Itll take settling into. So will any other putter.

[@CharlesAlfonso-k8j]

I enjoy your content very much. however, your challenge in describing the putters did not provide a lot of information. 1. feel many times is best when you're not ;looking' at the thing you are trying to 'feel' so maybe close your eyes and try them 2. !putting to a target/hole as opposed to maybe putting to the edge of the green provides no 'consequence' and won't alter our opinion. thanks for reading

[@golfsciencelab]

Good point. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Grunt21Tennessee]

Could not get past the "ping" in the DF2.1. Such a turn off.

[@golfsciencelab]

I notice it when directly comparing putters but if it’s the only one you use it starts to become normal. That’s my experience.

[@mpatrickriley]

I've also had a putter I liked that had the same pingy sound, that was hard to take (Odyssey R-Ball). But I currently have the DF3 counterbalanced with the TPT shaft in my bag, and the sound is *really* solid.

[@HeyItsAsmus]

$450 is pricey, and then to "customize" it the price jumps like another $100 and that might be just a lie adjustment.

[@golfsciencelab]

It is pricey. I think it's worth it though because I haven't seen anything else like it on the market.

[@chadblackwood579]

All putters are minimum 350-400 now

[@brewtalityk]

@@chadblackwood579 no they're not lol. not ALL

[@sheepdog723]

You made about 2 putts. I’m good.

[@JBALLER02]

Hahahha

[@KleyDeJong]

I thought it was extremely clear that he was trying to provide us with his subjective thoughts on how it feels to swing and hit putts with these putters. Did you miss that?

[@colinc.8742]

If you seriously believe that a £500 putter will sink more putts than the one you already own you are fooling yourself. Practice for 30 min before the round, not the usual 5 mins. you see on every practice green. Putting will improve beyond all measure and you will save a lot of money. Remember the old saying “you can not buy a better golf game”

[@jamief-oq2mo]

The camera man front on is awful

[@ConorAnastasio]

Guy didn’t make a single putt😂

[@jessecooper9795]

Nope, but had $4k in putters though 🤣

[@JBALLER02]

You just simply can’t putt.. no matter what putter you are using. Save your money and take some lessons my friend lol

[@golfsciencelab]

Appreciate that 😂. Just hitting putts and trying to compare the feel to explain what I was experiencing.

[@lewmano7367]

That right to left breaker really had him fooled😂. In all serious though “try a few shafts have some fun”.. u mean burning the cost of the putter again in a shaft which is negligible? Hah. Tbh lab is probably great but it’s never going to make anyone a great putter. It’s just one more piece of tech to chase which still won’t alter your form/green reading/pace control. If you still suck at putting after doing those previous two things… sure lab might make you feel better but that’s a temporary placebo with any new putter purchase. I’ve been there have the 15 putters in the garage… lab will give you that extra 1% no doubt but that requires good fundamentals otherwise you will continue to miss left/right/short/long

Don’t buy either of these, get a zero torque putter from a legit company that treats its employees well. Heard horror stories about the work environment at LAB.
