Improve Your Putter Path And Plane With The "Slicing Cheese" Feel

[@StanCrafted]

Great tip, Sam! The L.A.B. putter keeping my face square has made my green reading so much better and allowed me to focus on plane and path. This tip will help with that.

[@wombatfeeder999]

I love that scorecard tip. Thanks

[@kevinjohanson2434]

Sam makes a great point here. My putting improved considerably when I started being intentional about watching the ball. I used to let myself get caught up in watching my putter takeaway. Big difference!

[@jsh_golf]

Sam, this is a great tip! As a person who struggled with swing plane a little bit, this is a great way for me to visualize me being on plane with my putts! I can’t wait to try this drill when I get back from my vacation.

It's cutting the cheese

Loving my DF3, thanks for the tips.

Great tip, Sam!

[@alexh1822]

The Scorecard is a great tip. My miss comes from rotating the face with my hands, this tip will help it stay square!

[@PatriciaHanson-v2m]

How about more video tips for we golfers that use the LAB Broomstick putter. Love the weapon!

gouda is one of my favs

[@bngtraining6455]

Am I missing something surely slicing the cheese feel is a downward force?? How does that help with putting??

[@tigerwoodcourt]

This is helpful

[@jimlock6152]

I’ve just been fitted and purchased the exact putter and I’m struggling with it tbh but actually love the feeling

[@labgolf]

What are you struggling with?

[@jimlock6152]

@@labgolf basically I think I’m taking the putter away on the outside and hitting across..

[@labgolf]

@@jimlock6152 Got it. Have you tried the thumbs off drill? That's incredibly helpful in keeping your hands out of the stroke and letting the tech do its thing.

[@jimlock6152]

@@labgolf no, I’ve not even heard of it 🤔 I will look for it now on You Tube.. thanks for suggesting that

[@bobj8877]

​@@labgolfthumbs off works so well in practice that I'm inclined not to use them on short putts at all lol

[@traviselden5830]

Sam I don’t know if you answer questions here on you tube, but I’m trying to figure out the arc stroke with the mez. Is the lab putters more efficient one way or the other between an arc stroke vs a sbst stroke? I am finding a more wristy, arc stroke like with a toe flow putter is the feeling I like with the mez but I’m not positive that’s the best use of the putter. Can you point me to a video where you address this or maybe provide some insight?? Thanks!

Search here for “L.A.B. GOLF putting board”. I think that’ll clear things up for you.

I never had issues with a wobbly backswing which is my issue with my new lab.( had it for a couple of weeks now). The other issue I’m having (that i never had with my SC is getting the ball to the hole. It seems I’m short more than before… I really like the feel at contact, hope i can resolve my issues.,…ugh

[@samhahn6950]

We can totally help! What you are experiencing is what we call the torque hangover. You are applying forces to steady the putter to accomodate torque that is no longer there. Have you seen the thumbs off drill? Search youtube for "Lab golf thumbs off" and you'll see it. Lemme know if that helps

[@golfatit3140]

Hey Sam , I recently purchased a df3 with pistol grip . I forward press as a trigger I seem to have a bit of an issue with consistency . Should I not toward press with this putter ? Coming from an evenroll er10 .

[@samhahn6950]

You can if you want! If you start seeing the face move around when you press, maybe roll it back a little

[@ItzAdelic]

picked up a stock Mezz max. this is my first "big boy" putter. Very excited

[@scottwu7883]

Sam, I'm changing the feel name to "Cutting the Cheese"? LOL

[@georgemaurice9179]

Mr. Hahn. I currently have an arm lock with the "SIK" head. I am looking very strongly at your broomstick and tend to lean to the MEZZ type of head, but also wonder about the new DF3? Thoughts? All the best to you and yours George

[@Kylez1212]

Do df3 it's way better than mezz as a broom... I know from experience dude... if you know what I mean

[@labgolf]

The biggest difference between these two broomsticks is onset. MEZZ.1 MAX has less since the shaft is closer to the face, and DF3 has more since the shaft is farther away from the face. Neither is better or worse. It's simply a preference.

[@georgemaurice9179]

@@Kylez1212 Many thanks, I appreciate the input

[@mattgerken6366]

I’ll be buried with my LAB.

[@mesillahills]

Another thing that poor short putters have is that they have no concept that there is a difference between the putter blade rotating relative to the target, and staying perpendicular (unrotated) to the path plane (your scorecard). They confuse opening and closing relative to the target but not rotating relative to the perpendicularity with the path plane. They see one and not realize the need for the other. They see the blade opening and closing to the target but do not realize the blade CANNOT rotate relative to the path plane. This is very easy to prove and newer training devices do. It can also be proven with a square putter shaft running on a stair step above the step where the ball is rolling. Get set for a shocker ! What you see is rotation with no rotation.

How many likes to get a DF3?! 😊
