The TRUTH About The LAB DF3 - (Unboxing & Full Round of Putting)

[@jeffpascoe225]

Just got my one today. Haven't had a chance to get to the course but feels amazing on the carpet at home and I've been playing 60 years, 6 handicap, can't wait to get to the course.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

You’re gonna love it!!

[@KrunkStack]

I like the putter, but @ 4:45 when your boy made that swing in the background I was watching him. I had the Masters featured groups playing on my other monitor. One of the guys hit an iron shot perfectly timed with your boys strike & my jaw dropped....then I looked over & saw what had happened. Priceless moment!

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

😂😂 that is hilarious man. Crisp strike for sure

[@Brooks_Cupcake]

Following you for the simple awesomeness of having the little man in the videos. Well done, Dad.

[@Golfdiegogolf]

Just got mine today! I loved it at Golf Galaxy! Let’s hope it translates to on course! Only thing is if I’m paying that price for custom i think it would be dope if the head cover matched the color of the putter you chose! I got a stock just cuss I had a gift card to Golf Galaxy lol

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

Never pass up a good deal! lol I agree customer headcovers would be awesome.

[@doohanlim1225]

How do you feel about the lag putting with this model? I’m from Malaysia, we just got Lab Putters in retail stores now. Tried the DF3 and Mezz 1, like what you mentioned, in the Mezz 1 video, I tend to struggle with speed for putts over 20ft for both the Mezz 1 and DF3. Inside 10ft im making them or just brushing the edges. I have yet to try the Link 1 as the set presented in the retail store is wrapped up in plastic but it feels more like a traditional putter when I did some 10ft putt. Still haven’t pulled the trigger as I’m waiting for the prices to drop since they were just brought over. Would love to see you review the Link.1 if you have the chance because I think we have similar feels.

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

I have the same DF3 with white Accra. Distance control (getting it TO the hole is a learning process). Cheers.

[@carlr2837]

I'm using a Mezz Max, standard weight. I agree that is a bit light, but I'm getting better at lag putting with it. The ball usually goes where I point it, though.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

That’s awesome! Gotta love the point and shoot feeling with the lab putters

[@ageclipse]

I ordered one of the default DF3. I've had it for 3 rounds so far and loving it. Kind of taking my mind off putting seems to be the trick. Point and click if that makes sense

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

I agree it feels point and shoot for sure!

[@randeberhard]

I’ve been rotating the DF3 in and out of the bag. I rolled in a lot more long putts with my Mezz max but the DF3 is so much easier inside 5ft than the Mezz. I’m torn. 🆘

[@jessecooper9795]

I'd be working on that short game too if i was having 6-8 footers for par

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

@@jessecooper9795 you chip inside 6-8 ft every time!? You should be on tour.

[@jessecooper9795]

@@drewfortsongolf5529 not every time, but I've got a pretty good short game. The courses on tour would eat most amateurs up, you know that

[@Fordledsled]

Do you think the weight of the stock steel shaft would aid in lag putting, or is the "heavy" head option sufficient? I had the same issue with you on the MezzMax (with graphite shaft) feeling too light for lag putting.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

I think you are probably right on the steel shaft I had a standard in mezz and felt like I could lag better than when I had the la golf shaft. I like the heavier head combo with upgraded shaft but the standard weight with steel shaft is a great option as well

[@fredrikholmberg1048]

Good video. I just placed an order today. Been putting with a Scotty blade last couple of years. Never tested this. Blind buy. 😱 nervous

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

It will be different for sure but I think you’ll love it!

[@billsinclair313]

The DF3 is amazing. Two things, easiest to start online putter I have ever owned and #2 puts a beautiful roll on the putts. I have already seen the benefits of putting it in play.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

I agree after using a couple of rounds! Keep rolling them in!

[@FreelancerBelal2520]

A very useful video.☺💝

[@willpharr7974]

I’ve been fitted many times at 68 (lie) for conventional putters. Would that apply here as well?

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

Yes that would be what you would want to get yours custom fit to that lie angle of 68*

[@willpharr7974]

Thx Drew

[@willpharr7974]

And that green - whoa!!

[@frmacleod]

I ordered my DF3 two weeks ago. Same color, shaft and grip as yours. Can't wait.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

You’re gonna love it! The wait is the worst though lol

[@jeremiahlim616]

Planning on ordering one, just in between colors now. I was wondering if the green color bothers you with the grass and mat being green and all? haha Hoping to hear from you! Thanks!

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

It hasn’t bothered me at all I love the green! 👍🏼

[@doc7376]

You looked at the bottom of the putter, how did you know it was the heavy outter

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

I ordered the putter custom from LAB golf so I knew it was heavier weighting. I’m not sure how you could tell just by looking at the head.

[@majormike1688]

Nice putter, the Lab Golf stuff is just different.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

Very different no doubt about that!

[@AshikurBlog1-gf6zk]

great

[@GOLFADDICT65]

like any putter it will take a few rounds to adjust you'll be making a few one putts every round am thinking of getting this putter Question : how tall are you and what lie did you go with on the putter thx cheers from Vulcan Canada

[@moritzbunger9447]

Do the remote fitting they propose on their website. Its spot on!

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

I am 6’ and was fitted remote for a 71* lie angle.

The difference between a $700 putter and a $200 putter is $500. Save your money

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

@@cbhighlander2195 that is fair lol but this is a great putter.

[@coreym5072]

I must be the only one who wasn’t impressed with the putter. Lag putts help but the short putts are a bare

[@alexurban7744]

I think it depends on the model. I went from an older spider to the link and got a little better putting but not much. Maybe 1-2 strokes a round. Bought a DF3 this weekend 35” 68° (stock). Usually i have around 34-36 putts per round. Yesterday i played 18 and had 23 putts (13 one putts) every thing else were two putts. Shot a personal best 75. Only had 7 gir and made 5 of them for birdie. Definitely just have to find what’s comfortable for you. I don’t like the feel or look of the mezz either. Only DF3

[@bgfoamable]

NO PUTTER IS WORTH $449.00 Practice a little more and save yourself $300.

[@drewfortsongolf5529]

lol I can totally understand that! They are way too expensive

[@carlr2837]

@@drewfortsongolf5529I use my driver about 12 times per 18 holes. I use my putter about 32 times per 18 holes, but about 15 of those are tap-ins where the putter doesn't matter at all. Thus, I hit about 17 shots per round where a better putter could make a difference. Based solely on that, a putter is "worth" about 42% more than a driver, so if you are willing to spend $320 on a driver, you should be willing to spend $450 on a putter, and if you are willing to spend $600 on a driver, you should be willing to spend $850 on a putter. Even that, however, understates the true value of the putter. A drive that is slightly short, or slightly offline may cost you 0.1 stroke gained, but a putt that is slightly offline will cost a whole stroke.

[@chrisimes478]

Then you’ve never putt with a LAB Putter! Once I paid that price I ordered a custom for $650. If you think a putter is not worth what a driver costs then you just don’t know golf!

[@Huntgolfride]

First, I'm Canadian, so not apples to apples... 2nd YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! Now, that said and fully understanding that putters are a chunk of cnc milled aluminum on a shaft that cannot possibly justify those prices.... I haven't found a putter of any brand in the usual name brands that is less than $600.00 and I just ordered a DF3 with the TPT shaft and in my currency, it set me back $1,300.00 after the conversion. My final comment is value for use. We pay $1000,00 for drivers up here and use it mayby 13 times a round. So paying that much for a putter that gets used 30 times a round seems like a better place to spend the money. Like a bad team with a good goalie, the eraser can make up for some wonky shots, so I am willing to sink the time and cash into it.
