L.A.B OZ1i Vs L.A.B Link1 Watch This Before You. Buy!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

What is your choice? Link1 or OZ1i?

[@simplefilmstudios]

New OZ1 looks the goods I think 🔥

[@Jacob-ed1bl]

I have the DF3 and love it. It's by far the best purchase I've ever made in golf. There's no such thing as a magic putter, but it comes close to performing that way.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@Jacob-ed1bl most popular LAB on tour is the df3 and definitely an amazing putter! Glad you love it 😊

[@andyellison763]

Why choose, I have both! 😊

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ very true, guess it’s more the choice of what would be my gamer 😁

[@Floki6753]

I giggled when u started the video by saying "what is up, we are down"😄..now back to the vid haha

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@Floki6753 😂😂😂 didn’t even notice

[@maamold]

I owned the link and had the same end over end issue that you are finding, can't wait to order the OZi.1.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

The Oz1i is amazing! You’ll love it

[@kdigity]

I felt that knee crack at 5:19… 😂😂😂

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

😂😂😂 and the mics had the noise reduction on!

[@Jereton]

Never come across these before but definitely gonna take a closer look.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

👀

[@PhoebeJay]

I never thought I’d consider one till now. 👏🏽

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

They’re amazing! 🤩

[@josephloescher8329]

Man its going to be tough to pick between these two putters. Really love the feel of both of them

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

100% it is. I still go back and forth lol 😂

[@CD17able]

The Link 1.0 is made of stainless steel, I have this putter & it is amazing, I never got fitted, but I use 34” & the 69° lie is right for me. Unfortunately in the UK I’ve not seen any of these in pro shops yet, so I can’t try any out, but I am seriously thinking of getting properly fitted & trying different models as soon as they become more available. Having said that I’ve never hit a putter out the middle & on my chosen line before I got the Link 1.0, so the LAB putter’s most definitely work much better than anything else I’ve ever tried.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

100% agree, the link1 is amazing and I love mine also. The OZ1i is definitely worth a try though. The online fitting would be interesting for you to do 😁

[@CD17able]

Yes I can tell my putter is pretty much spot on for my build & putting style, I think I’ll wait to try them before I order a custom fit, so many different feels from the different types of putter, face insert & material, which can’t be experienced from online fitting.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ that is true, there’s also a number of individual LAB fitters who are golf pros in the UK, you should try find one of them. The stores may not have the putters but the fitting pros will

[@CD17able]

You’re right, there’s one just over an hour from me, maybe I’ll book a fitting & trial, would be nice to try the different shafts too. Thanks for your help 👍

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@CD17able no problem at all, glad I could help. Will definitely be worth the drive.

[@simplefilmstudios]

Legit 🔥🔥🔥 LAB has every angle covered

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

They really do 🔥🔥

[@jmdubbs1354]

The roll on that oz1 is insane

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Absolutely love it! It’s so pure 🔥

[@Jayspencergolf]

LAB sending me the Mezz 1 MAX. I play an armlock style putter and at the moment the don’t offer the OZ or LINK in that customization. I’d love to see your thoughts on the Mezz

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I have mates who have the Mezz and they think it’s one of the best putters ever made. I’d love to review that also

[@Jayspencergolf]

@ if you ever in the states let me know!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ will do mate, thank you 🙏

[@JayyBee19]

What do you think about the weight of the oz? I currently have the link and the df3, but the df3 doesn’t work for me with distance control like the link does. I was thinking about trying the OZ with the lightweight option

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

If you like the weight of the link then get the standard OZ1, it's actually a touch lighter than the link.

[@gtobs3181]

What are your specs? Are they the same for both?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Yes 👍🏼 69* lie angle and 36’ length

[@nataliesimmonds8956]

Hi David, I have just brought my son a launch monitor for Xmas & I was wondering what would be the best net that I could get? We have plenty of room & he just loves golf he if 15. I would really like your help! Thanks Matt.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@nataliesimmonds8956 hey 👋 I would suggest if it’s going to be a more permanent outdoor net then checkout the 24/7 golf BYO outdoor package. I have a discount code for those DMAX200 but if you’re wanting to put it up and down a lot then the Spornia SPG-7 is great

[@nataliesimmonds8956]

@ great thanks! I’ll have a look.

[@JKam8]

Have you tested out the counterbalanced version of any of the Lab Golf putters?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Not as yet but I am a big fan of counter balance

[@Cupillac]

Does the oz have a shaft lean?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Yes I got the 2* press grip

[@markmay184]

Is that OZ1i their stock putter or a custom OZ1i?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

OZ1i custom but technically all my specs are straight up stock

[@markmay184]

@ cheers David, might hit your mate up at Tee Block in the near future. Do you know if they carry all the head colours - that blue looks the bomb 💣 and with one of their custom white shafts 👌

[@mattdipadua3614]

Did you try the oz1 with no shaft lean

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I haven’t yet no, I do really like the shaft lean though. Kinda helps with consistency

[@mattdipadua3614]

Or does yours have the shaft lean

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ my OZ1 has shaft lean but my link is standard

[@mattdipadua3614]

Ok I’m definitely ordering one lol but can’t decide shaft lean or no or cb 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ well I can tell you that for me the shaft lean at 2* was better than without but I’ve never tried the CB. I do like to feel the putter head weight though but that’s a personal preference

[@anthonycarson7113]

Noticed your Link1 is a little toe high at address. You might need to go one degree more flat and your roll should be more consistent.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I think you could be right, could also be a me problem as my setup doesn’t seem to be as consistent with the blade as with a mallet. Weird but just one of those things I guess. One putt will be perfect and the next one I’ll have the toe up a little

[@Floki6753]

u like one of those Doctors that watch Tv and see the news anchor has a tiny spot on the neck, and calls her to go check it out..and it turnes out it was cancer and she got saved in time😏😅

[@anthonycarson7113]

@@Floki6753 oh yeah!!

[@mtnbyked]

David, Anthony is correct. You are toe high on both putters. Don’t know if your OZ has shaft lean or not but toe high with shaft lean you will miss left most of the time. The Link.1 has no forward press & the OZ is available with no shaft lean as well. I would try a 71°-73° and I bet your results will be dramatically improved!

[@lkae4]

Roll was pure. Looked like AI, haha.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

It's seriously good to be able to roll the putts like that

[@Starboi1337]

i think its too much guys, the tec gone way too far, whats next in golf? lazer sight on the putter? this is not golf.. its about skills and practise and reading the green. if you have a putter going straight through the stroke you take out the skill. dont argue on this we all know its true!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Well I see your point but your hands are still on the putter and it’s still gotta go in the hole

[@Starboi1337]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf im not bashing you or other users, its aproved and allowed on tours. i simply think we gone too far with the tec. use it and make birdies enjoy your game. but for me im staying with my regular putter. cheers mate.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@ that’s the beauty about golf, we have so many choices and they’re all such an individual preference 😁 go with what works

[@JosephParlow]

@@Starboi1337and we can assume you’re still using persimmon woods then? It’s not new tech, it’s simply weighting a putter head differently albeit it’s a specific patented approach. Feels and works well for a lot of people, kinda like power steering in a car, but maybe that’s to much tech for you too haha. Cheers!
