- I didn't want these putters anywhere near my bag, I thought they looks like the brain child of a mad engineer who'd eaten too many sweets after watching horror film at Halloween.

I deliver straight talking, easy to follow, honest, professional, calculated advice to all of my viewers from beginner to tour pro. This tried and tested method of coaching has helped many golfers achieve their personal goals and beyond.
Hey everyone thanks for sticking around and watching this video, you guys are the best ❤️
Your golf videos are the best on RUclips mate.
You are the best!😁🏌🏻
Me being toooo much for looks rather than functionality really wouldn´t game it, however, it seems to work...
**Would greatly appreciate a response** I've really wanted to try one of the DF putters but not being able to put my hands on one first has really held me back. Is the face of the DF putter hotter than your SC or comparable? Recently had another name brand putter where the face was so hot that controlling distance became extremely tedious. I definitely want to avoid that again if possible. Enjoy the videos as always!!
Do you mean thank you for waiting for the 20 sec advert before the video began? Your videos are great, worth the wait.
Pete, this is the most Matt Fryer putter I’ve ever seen.
I am currently using no putter. I do not play golf, nor have I ever played golf. But for some reason, I find your and Rick's video extremely entertaining.
Sounds like me watching skateboarding videos lol
@@calebl21 I went through a bee keeping video phase for a couple weeks. Had the Wife worried for the day I asked for some equipment...
Eric, it sounds like the Golf Gods want you to start playing!
😂
Sounds like you should try golf
Don't know what's more satisfying, seeing Pete holing putts or how much he didn't want to put the directed force 2.1 putter in his bag 🤔😂
The black one looks like a branding iron for cows in a wild west movie.
I love my LAB putter. I did go with the stability shaft as well. Best putter I’ve ever had.
You still using it gave me the confidence to pull the trigger, I ordered it in the new nickel finish. Excited
I did too! Can’t wait to get mine. How’s yours treating you?
I have mine! It's very hard to "keep your hands out of the stroke" and let the club do the work... but I'm getting used to it lol only one round in though
I'd putt with a ferret on the end of a stick if it lowered my scores...Of course, a ferret wouldn't cost $600+.
yes a ferret would only cost about $150🤣
@@carterwhite6777 hahaha is that the going rate? I'm not as plugged in to the ferret market as I should be. 🤣🤣🤣
Still have to feed it, though.
Tom Sweeney idk that’s what the petco website said, and why feed the ferret if you’re gonna shove a stick right through it to hit golf balls with😂
This is exactly right! Who cares if your putting!
Thanks so much for this review. My father in law bought one but couldn't figure out his distance control. He then gave it to me and while it wasn't custom built for me it has, no joke, dropped 4-5 shots off my game! I am a massive convert now, these putters are incredible and a huge confidence boost on short putts. The price is a problem though.
I just got one DF 2.1 and it is, by far, the best putter I've ever used. The stroke is unmatchable and the ball rolls better than with any other putter.
I have been using this putter for a few months. I am a huge fan, I still go back and forth to my Cameron for a different look every once in a while.
I have this putter. Easily the best putter I have ever used. I find myself making putts from all over the green.
I requested this review from the Axis putter video. Thanks for making this video Pete. Fantastic job. Even more awesome that you ended up throwing it into your bag.
Pete, that is the most barbaric putter I have ever seen.
Also, don’t stress about getting videos out. People love your content and will happily wait for it
Barbaric! Strong 😂
A question or an idea for content but has technology made golf too hard for the normal punter?
I agree, looks terrible. Unfortunate that these "high-tech"-putters look like this. There must be some design available that doesn´t compromise the benefits.
@@andreasolenmark1641 The LAB Blad 2...
@@peterfinchgolf still good putter? why no use anymore?
they are fantastic - you get over thelooks as soon as you start holing putts
Once you get over the looks...it’s been the best putter I’ve ever used and it’s not even close!
Agreed. I have it and I love hitting putts now.
Pete, that is the most intelligently designed putter I’ve ever seen.
Hi Peter, I traveled down this same path. I liked the technology and got fitted in person. When I started using it on the course the results were poor, and I thought ‘oh no what have I done!?!’ But then something clicked and putts started dropping. Longer putts started dropping too. The ball stayed on the line I choose. What I really liked was the knee knocker putts of 3-5ft became a lot easier because the pressed forward grip and the shaft being well behind the putter face all but eliminated the yips. I find myself being more aggressive on mid range putts because I know I can make the come back putt if I miss. Now I just have to read the greens better.
contemplating this putter more and more. did a remote fitting and got all my specs. hit it a few times at the golf shop over the past few months. just need to pull the trigger
It is so cool that there are some brave and risky putter designs out there, focussed on what It matters the most.
Nice to see you brave putting in the bag too!
Welcome to the club Peter! I use a DF2.1 and I agree with you 100%. I feel so much more comfortable standing over just about any putt.
I enjoyed the vid, Pete. The most enjoyable aspect was that you were firing putts in from everywhere and you had a massive smile on your face. Keep it up.
One thing I respect about you is that you aren't afraid to be different and challenge the 'expectations' to improve your game! Fantastic! Side note.... I would LOVE your old Spider! But seriously, great video on something many of us would never get to experience but find INCREDIBLY interesting!
Very fair review of the LAB putters, thank you Peter. Enjoyed it. I had mine for about 3 years now when it was known back then as "Directed Force 2.0", not branded under LAB as it is now. The original designer Bill Presse IV designed the lie balance. I have the 2.0 along with the original Stability shaft putter and I have not taken this putter out of the bag. Not even close and I have all the fancy nancy Scotty, MACHINE, Byron etc etc etc
Another note, I think you also need to take into account the Pilots view. The all black stealth Directed Force is just that. Stealth. All you see is BLACK and the white aim line. There is no logo or fancy pattern that gets into your vision so your eyes naturally focus on the aim. As Ping has proven even the smallest shaft label does draw your eye away. Not here. One of the reason why you may feel "comfortable" on as you stand over your putter.
Also another important tip from the innovator, Bill Presse IV. Place the center shaft (where the shaft meets the head) EXACTLY under your belt. This sets you up perfectly each and every time. No need to add or remove forward press. You'll have more pure rolls
Also YES the directed force is lie balance for the whole face so you can stroke it on the toe and heel and it will roll true but with less force (due to less mass as compared to center). I often use Jackie Burke's putting style of toe hits to control right to left down hill putts to minimize speed and control those type of putts. Reverse to heel putting from left to right breaking downhill putts.
My only gripe is the lack of "artistic" head covers since none of them for the regular mallet putter will fit the DF head. It's an inch longer and wider FYI.
Pete, thanks for doing this review! i think a lot of youtubers out there are hesitant to do reviews because this putter is such a customized piece. I actually saw this putter in 2 different proshops last year, and was amazed at how well i could putt with it but also amazed at how much they wanted for it. So it was a hard pass to begin with. But earlier this year, i decided i'd get one. Now granted, mine was only $450 because i didn't get some crazy shaft upgrade. But after having putted with it these past 6-8 months, it's obvious that it's the best putter i've ever had (and now i'm longing for the shaft upgrade because I'm curious if there's a big difference in feel or not!)
I started playing in the early 80's with an old Bullseye putter, got a Ping Pal in the mid 80's that i used up until about 2010, and have tried Ghost Spiders, the new Ping TR stuff, and even an MLA model from Sweden which was a very interesting club in its own right. All of these putters had good points, but the LAB putter just blows them all away. And mark my words, once you've putted with it for a few weeks, you're going to be amazed at how much you feel the imbalance of all the other putters in the market. You don't realize how much you're fighting your stroke until you've putted with a LAB putter for a while.
I'm definitely a fan, and as for the price, well, it is expensive for something like this, but you guys are reviewing $400-$600 drivers every time a new one comes to the market and $1200-$3000 sets of irons regularly. And those drivers, if you're an avid golfer like myself, those faces are so thin it's not unheard of for them to break after a season or two. Pray you're still in the warranty period, and if it's used on eBay well that's bad luck. The LAB putter is a highly customized club made for the individual that requests it. Part of what makes it work is getting the proper lie angle for your setup. They just can't make a whole bunch of these and throw them in some proshop because truthfully you can't get the balance exactly right without getting the lie angle real close to right. And apparently that lie angle goes anywhere from 63 degrees up to 75+ degrees. I love the tech, and love the customer service of the company. I wish they had a way to get their stuff in front of the eyes of more golfers because I think they've got the best putter tech on the market.
That B.2 model reminds me and looks super similar to the SeeMore FGP putter
I got one because of you... and now, I am way better with it than I used to be, so big thanks !
I used the exact same putter but 34" and steel shaft. This putter has changed my game, made more 10 plus foot putts in the past 6 months than the last 4 years combined.
You own the lab putter?
Yes I have had it since early this summer
I use an Odyssey White Hot #2 Center Shafted Bladed Putter. It was 2nd hand when I picked it up in about 2007.
It's perfect for me because I'm tight, and also because i'm also able to turn it around and hit chip shots left-handed out of bushes/next to trees etc when I don't have a swing on with my right.
Rather than upgrading I'm planning to have it re-gripped.
Thanks for another great review! I bought my DF2.1 about 6 months ago, and it’s been the best putting summer of my life. Unbelievable and instant game changer! It was only $425 without the fancy shaft
I made like a smaller solid block putter myself with a lie angle of 55degrees to fit my style. I find it much more reliable to put with and I feel the result is 100% of what you put into it. Made my putting much better.
If you feel like sending any old putter you dont need my way id be ok with it...im using a ping from the 70's still lol. Thanks for the content Mr. Finch, it is always a bright spot in my day when you post a new video, keep up the good work👍
I’m still using an old ping pal 2, I new I wasn’t the only one out there using a 40+ year old putter😊
I bought the LAB 2.1 this summer and love it as well. I went from a pretty bad putter to a pretty good one. Crazy to say this, because I’m always skeptical of people who say this, but $700 literally bought me 3 strokes off my handicap. I don’t care how ugly it is now. I’m convinced.
I’m using my refurbished 1920’s Spalding Bros blade putter. Re-polished by hand with new shaft and grip. Love it, so clean to use, 100% not torque balanced :)
Wow going in the bag! High praise indeed from Mr Finch. Cant wait for 1st video of you using it in a course vlog
A Mechanical engineering lesson as well as a review! Great vid Pete
Loooool the comparison of the price to the ferrero Roche's got me I laughed out loud so much
"That's a lot of dinner parties"
LOL
Awesome Pete, I'm pumped to get one of these as well.
Some sort of ping putter cant even remember what one had it for years but it feels so nice of the face and rolls well that's all I need
I enjoy you tips and critiques. I would like to see you in your videos, when you're trying new items, to grab an unknown golfer from off the course to also try them. Someone that is an average, hacker of a golfer. Get there opinions as well. Remember, you're a pro. Unlike many of us who watch you test items.
9:22 Love this USA jab. Caught me right on the button. 🤣
I am currently using a Ping Karsten TR Anser2......bought it for 30 CAD.Used a mallet for years. This new putter is something else. Well done mate. CAnt wait see what Rick, Carter, and Matt have to say.
As a golfer who appreciates the weird, it’s nice to see that more companies and golfers are making/using putters that just look odd and fun while still being functional. Right now I use an odyssey backstryke marxmam. Definitely an odd looking putter for most people but it rolls the ball like a dream!
The backstryke was Odyssey's attempt to create a DFP 2.1 after they saw it at the PGA show 5 or 6 years ago.
May the force be with you!!
Great Video Peter! You’ve got me looking at these putters more closely. I really enjoy your honesty in these videos! You are looking “Happy and Healthy” again. What ever you are doing keep it up. We love your work and look forward to more in the future!!
“I wonder why I only see footballers and celebs using this putter on Instagram” now I know why 😂 that’s ridiculous. Great review dude! Glad it uploaded finally 👏🏻
I just purchased a used YES Callie from an online store. Put a Super stroke 2.0 on and I am loving it over my Odyssey O-works #1 spring face putter. I have three rounds on the Callie last weekend, and the accuracy and distance is much improved.
Very, very interesting video… Thanks for bringing this organization out to the fore-front (see what I did there..lol) Pete! I am the type of golfer that likes to be a bit “different” with his clubs… This putter should do the trick!
Just switched to a mallet for the first time in 40 odd years of playing. Game changer. Can’t see myself going back to a blade putter. It’s an Evnroll ER7v.
I currently game the LAB B.2. Love it!!
Great video and amazing putter!!
Just a heads up folks, LAB has an ebay page where they sell them heavily discounted. The heads may have a blemish or two coming from the factory, so they can't sell them as new. However, you can do a remote fitting to get your specs and find one for half their normal price. It's a great chance to try a great putter at a deeply discounted price.
You got a link?
Pete if you rewatch this video, how can you honestly have another putter in the bag now, the 2.1 just doesn’t miss!
I have this putter. It is fugly, it is big and yes I got flack for it from buddies and random people. However it works. I have reduced my putts per round by 5 strokes. I average 29 now and before I was 34 and sometimes afraid of fast, downhill or really breaking putts. Im not afraid to be aggressive on putts anymore because inside 5-8 feet- it’s automatic. I would say whatever works and if you can save 3-5 strokes per round it’s worth it. People spend $550 on a driver and I can guarantee you those don’t save the strokes these do. Get fit so the putter matches your height, swing and angle of how you hold it. If you buy one- the online fitting is free. After 9 holes usually people see me making putts or not missing by much on difficult putts and they stop talking junk and usually ask to try it.
First time seeing you without a hat on! What a presentation 👏 👌 🙌
Hey Pete, I bought into the hype. It made sense to me; the science, the balance, the torque. Well, I've been playing with my "Big Red" putter since the spring and it really has changed my putting. I'm making more 1-2 putts and a lot less 3-putts. I have to agree with you that it does look funny, but man it feels good!! Good video!!
I have the new Ping Heppler C which I have at 33”. Love the firm feel. Great putter
Pete, I use a LAB 2.1 and it’s been the biggest game changer of my entire golf bag. The haters won’t be talking crap when you’re draining 10 footers all day long on them!
The beauty is at the bottom of the hole!
Pete!! This is the Best putter I’ve ever seen!!
Great review, Pete!I actually think this is the future of putting tech. They will get prettier as more companies try it out but I think there is a lot of benefit to the torque balance of the putter head and the confidence the player gets from having a tiny bit more control over the club face.
The lie angle balancing is just fantastic tech. Now sure, your hands do mitigate a lot of the natural torque in putters when you hold them, but you’re still fighting it the entire stroke every stroke. Get used to a LAB and go back and you immediately feel the difference. Golf is hard enough, why make it harder?
I do enjoy your stuff Peter, golf with a smile which suits Me to a tee.
Currently I'm using an Odyssey White Hot RX2 which I got 2nd hand off Ebay for a song and I utterly LOVE it. It works great for Me. I like its looks LOADS and it feels so natural. Won't be swapping anytime soon (I'm a faithful kind of a bloke).
When I first started out I just robbed My Dads clubs and smashed about with them. Amongst the ensemble was "The Blob" (his putter). This thing was literally a blob of chromed iron with a centre shaft. It was beyond dreadful, it had all the feel of a turnip on a broom handle.
The LAB B2 reminds Me very much of "The Blob", just a more engineered version, much more.
Having laid eyes upon the B2, I've decided to put the rubber bottom sheet on the bed in readiness for the inevitable nightmares.
Currently have the TM Spider and I've been looking at the LAB 2.1 for about 9 months... I need to just bit the bullet.
I use a lab putter in my bag and i love it, there is just a nice feel putting with it.
Pete, this putter is the most putter i've ever Peter
I'm using an EVNROLL putter and there is no shot that I´ll change! I absolutely love it..
very very happy that you have the putter for you Peter, i hope that it serves you well :)
Wow, you made EVERYTHING, Pete!
JUST bought an Evnroll ER2 and love it already. I'd obviously give it a try but my local shop doesnt have the lab putters.
I picked up one of the Directed Force putters a month or so back at a store and putted with it - it was amazing! "Comfortable" is a good word for how I felt as well, and everything went where I tried to put it, with great speed and feel. $400 off the rack though, so I walked away.
But that's about how much SC putters cost, so...
I may pick one up someday when the prices drop, maybe a nice used one. It was sweet. I like weird too, so the looks work for me :)
Thanks Pete ! Great review especially the week I get my new SC putter delivered 🤣🤣🤣👍
I purchased 2 with stability tour shaft for like $700 each... one for my bag and one for my putting practice at home. Just flexing.
Glad the quality is way better on this upload!
I found a lot of inconsistencies in my putting as of lately. 3 putting everything. I recently started to adapt the putting grip you have with both of your hands and I have literally taken my putts from 3 putts almost every hole to a 2 putt or less. Love the control it gives me. Currently using Odyssey double wide stroke lab 2019. Averaged 2 putts per hole today and felt great.
I've been using the 2.0 since the summer. Handicap has dropped by 3. Hit my first round at level par (gross) this week. Love it. I'm looking forward to see which one you choose.
I've been using an Acer SHM-2 (simple harmonic motion) counter balanced putter for a few years. Works really well for me.
I've owned the DF 2.1 for about a year now. I went away from it a couple of months ago for the Odyssey Stroke Lab Black Seven Toe Up Putter. After watching your video... think I will bust her out tomorrow morning. FYI>>> I've loving named her the Black Alien Queen since they both sport similar crowns 8-)
Your videos are great! As long as you keep making them, I will watch. But never loose your humor, and dont stop filming from the course, thats the fun ones.
Finally a putter for multi purpose. The 2.1 with. A bottle opener for the cold bottle of your choice beverage at the halfway hut. Or on your own couch
Can also be used for home defense or branding cattle
I saw this putter at PGA Tour Superstore today and decided to try it. I loved it. Now if only I had the money to buy it lol
I have a Ping Sigma 2 Tyne 4 Platinum putter. Liking the Alien Lab lol
Pete, these are the most beautiful putters I’ve ever seen
Gotta love that Pete has turned his putting yips into such a prolific series :P Love ya Pete!
My direct force putter is awesome made more putts than ever. Love it it works
I got fitted for one and then found one on eBay in the same spec for $250.. highly recommend doing the same if you are looking at one. They are amazing putters. They don’t miss.
Peter a mate of mine has one. Nice putter but you forgot to mention how you can use it for practice with 2 balls in the back to promote smooth stroke and also 1 ball in centre to make sure you are set up right
SIK putter. same as Bryson except the shaft. Absolutely love it and has changed my putting game.
I love Pete's putting videos. Always so relaxing and interesting
When all is said and done it’s an unconventional putter but it looks to be worth the try! Thanks for the video
About time Pete! I've had the Reno 2.1 in my bag for four years. I also have both the B1 Brass. They are fantastic putters, with actual tech that works! Lie Angle Balancing is the truth! I'll never go back.
That’s great! Congrats on the new piece of hardware. I’m using a Mizuno Mcraft type 2 with the 13g weights and the shaft cut to 27”. I look ridiculous until I sink a tough putt lol
Bought mine on eBay 2nd hand for $200 US. Love it. Great review. Been hoping you’d cover these and pretty awesome that you’re willing to put it in the bag even though its unconventional.
I’d accept anything that would elevate my putting game with open and loving arms, def my favorite part of the game as I find it the most challenging to conquer
well I have been a scotty fan and used a scotty for the first 7 years I have golfed. Well this is my 8th year of golfing and I played with guy who had this putter in December. I started really researching it in January. I watched yours and Rick's videos along with many other videos. Two weeks ago I ordered the L.A.B. tech directed force 2.1. I am excited to get it and see if it helps my putting. I am not a great putter but I'm not a bad putter. I don't 3 putt a lot but I don't 1 putt a lot either.
Great you feel comfortable with the putter Pete, just another 13 clubs to go 😊👍
One thing I've been laughing about most with you and ricks videos is the hate for unpretty clubs. That putter sank more putts than the Scotty in a week and you were still so hesitant lol.
I've been using a Taylormade White Smoke IN-12 Blade putter since I bought it new off the shelf and I don't know if I'll ever switch. It's a great putter and has felt great since day 1.
Thing is, when you have a monstrosity of a putter in your bag, it gives your opponent a phycological boost. It yells "I have putting issues", in the same way an unorthodox putting grip does.
I have one and it works great...go to ebay and buy one of there belms and save half the cost...mine had a mark in black paint
Using a Cleveland Huntington beach soft 12 and absolutely love it!! Improved my putting by miles 👌🔥⛳🏌️♂️
You were crushing those putts. I can't afford it. You have a complete game Pete. I believe you can make the tour.
Check out Marvin the Martians head from Buggs Bunny. Same shape as the weird coat hanger thingymawhastit. Keep smiling Pete, lovely to see.
