Thanks for watching the video L.A.B. Golf Putter // Mezz.1t

The reason lab didn’t make it so you could pick up the ball, is because they said you’ll be picking the ball up out of the hole more.
That’s right 🎉
Been playing their Blād model for four seasons now. As someone who would switch putters at the turn in the past, the LAB being an unquestioned staple in the bag for so long is an actual miracle. As a presser, the press grip was immediately comfortable for me. A tip I give everyone who tries mine or owns a new one, relax those hands as much as possible and let it swing. People are so accustomed to steering a putter without even knowing it. After a few sessions with the LAB and no longer feeling that torque, you’ll never be able to go back. Enjoy!
That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for your feedback! I’m looking forward to dropping some bombs.
One of the best reviews you have done for any club I thought you did a great job being patient and giving us a lot of data and I really like how you formatted this video
Really appreciate that feedback! Thanks for supporting the channel 👊🏻
I use a LAB, the most important thing about the LAB putters, is you have to LET the putter flow to the target. ALL other putters you need to manipulate the face to "square it" not so with the LAB it is important to allow it to do its thing.
This is my first time visiting your videos. Excellent breakdown! You made me laugh before you even finished your sentence, saying, “There’s just one thing…”. I knew you were going to say that because I proudly own a Mezz 1. I realized that when I stepped onto the practice green for my 1st round with it.
I also own a Link and they are both DEADLY!!!
Great vid!!!
Haha glad I’m not the only one! I got a Link also. Going to give it a fair shot over the next couple weeks.
Just got fitted for this at club champion ! I love this putter over my Bernardi nova 6 so glad you did a review good stuff
You’re going to love it!
I picked one of these up today at PGASS and it was the best feeling putter I’ve ever hit! Been struggling with my blade that I’ve used for over 20 years and I was hitting every put the way I wanted to hit it. Now I have to shell out $449
I went to the Seemore putter that is center shafted and has the aim assist! Helped me to trust my aim!
Dang, I wish I had seen this yesterday before I ordered mine! Nice content
Thx! You’ll love yours!
Wait for new ping 2023 omg 😲 😍
I’ve been looking at these. Thanks for discount code Brandon.
No problem!
Would love to see you test the cobra 3D printed putters with sic face
Going into getting my LAB Mezz 1 XL AR I had watched and read multiple reviews about how one of the hardest things to get used to with it was letting go and letting the clubhead do what it wants, just concentrating on tempo and stroke length/speed. So I went in switching from a more stressed/straight arm traditional grip I used on a SIK model C AR and going back to the claw that I had used back when I used a Broomstick style putter. Honestly trying to put no input into the stroke and just let it happen. It's hard, but when you get it it's very rewarding. I do wish I could pick up my ball with it though, maybe that's because they expect more balls to go in the hole though. Then again from my average putting distance that's an ask from any putter. I do have to say my distance control, I think due to feel, is much improved with the lab so I have a lot more gimmies.
Thanks for sharing your feedback with your LAB! I’ll have to think of just letting the putter go like you mentioned!
@@NewNineGolf how u getting along with the mezz?
GREAT INFO. please keep updatine your progress with LAB putters mezzo 1 etc. interesting info for all golfers.
Okay I can do a follow up during golf season when I get more familiar with it
@@NewNineGolf thanks I'll check you every day.
I just tried an off the rack one the other day. It felt instantly unique/weird but in a really good way. The shaft angle and offset grip (as you said) made the setup/press unnecessary. It's just ready to go and go straight.
I dont know if I have that much money to spend on a putter but I want one.
Would love to see a LAB Golf Link.1 review for us blade putters. Charles Howell III just got the W with it a couple weeks ago on the LIV tour
Will try to get one to review.
love this!
❤️
One thing I did notice with your “old” putter. At address you raise the heel a few degrees. When I had my one on one fitting for my LAB, this was picked up by the SAM putting lab. And they corrected it in my build. Got my Mezz Max yesterday and it sits so flat and comfortable.
I did a session on the Sam lab a few years back. Eye opening haha. It was with a different putter though. Enjoy your new putter.
Love my mezz - quite simply has changed my golf for the better
Club path got more out to in and more inconsistent over the Ping. Suggests that you pull more with the lab i.e. start line further left, and you give the ball more draw spin from the closed face with the Ping.
I play the DF 2.1 and look forward to seeing how your Mezz behaves.
Me too! Hoping for more bombs!
Great review. I play the same ping putter. Interested in how you are finding the lab putter after having it in the bag on the course for a couple of months. Still in the bag?
Really good video
Thank you 🤙🏻
Need a course vlog with this putter.
Still snow on the ground where I am. Will be playing in Mexico in a couple weeks and can film something with it down there.
Thank you for the excellent review. As a fellow Canadian, did you have to pay any duty on the putter?
You can try to order it through a retailer to avoid the duty.
The weight, or lack of weight you're experiencing is related to torque. Since the putter is not rotating in motion, you're not feeling the perception of weight making it "feel" lighter. That was the biggest challenge I had initially with LAB putters. No longer an issue, light hands and allow the tech to do its thing you'll be on your way to fewer putts this season.
That makes sense! Looking forward to making some bombs!
I wasn't sure what to make of the demo's done with the "revealer", but it is definitely intriguing. Do you know of any places in Calgary that have any of the LAB models either for a putter fitting or just to roll and try (don't think Modern Golf has them under the brand availability)?
$900 is a bit too steep for me to "test" and possibly have buyers remorse and LAB doesn't seem like they have the best return policies especially if you go with the custom option (which is understandable).
Keep up the with good content!
I don’t believe anyone in town has one to try unless you have a friend that has one. You can always go on the non custom route and if you don’t like it you should be able to sell it with ease on a marketplace. They are unique in the sense that the Lie Angle and Balance is specific to your set up. For instance my putter likely won’t set up perfect for you but the second I took it out of the box it fit perfect for me. Price wise, it’s relative to what you get - a custom putter. 1/1 vs mass production. You can get a steel shaft for no up charge to keep the cost down as well. I’m a fan so far and will be reviewing the Link blade putter soon as well. Thanks for supporting the channel 👊🏻
@@NewNineGolf Ted and Dave's Custom Golf had a DF 2.1 with an adjustable lie angle last year that you can try. Their shop is next door to the RCGA driving range, here in Calgary. Not sure if they have a Mezz or Link 1 to try. The Directed Force 2.1 is what I am playing. Once you get over the looks, the performance and forgiveness is amazing. Use the lightest grip pressure possible and let the technology work!
If you were sinking puts you would have to bend over anyways. This forces you to put them ALL in! Easy adjustment.
The DF is their most forgiving. By far.
You never mentioned the face loft on both putter as this will affect your skid rate if they are not equal.
Are you thinking about reviewing this years blade irons anytime soon?
Ya I just need no find someone that can hit them 😂
I know this is a long shot but I just rewatched your video and I’m now in the market for a putter, but I don’t see your promo code anymore? Did I luck out on the timing? Thanks and awesome video
Hey thanks for watching. LAB golf discontinued their promo codes at this time. Sorry. We'll update if anything changes.
Looking at your Ping video that you sent to LAB and on the test the first thing is it's not sitting as it should the lie angle is wrong which affects the face angle. The lab is correct so if you set the Ping up it would be better than you use it now.
Can't adjust the Ping putter.
@@NewNineGolf get it custom built
That's why I went with the LAB.
@@NewNineGolf I'm only saying you could improve the Ping with custom fitting so comparing one putter off the rack against a custom fit is hardly a level playing field. I've not even mentioned the forward press grip only gets the hands to an "almost normal" position making up for the shaft so far back from the face.
You don't need the forward press grip. Test the putter out for yourself. Not sure what to tell ya. The video was comparing my gamer at the time which was the ping I picked up off the rack to a new lab putter i got. I can't travel back in time to get custom fit for the ping putter. At this point, it's just guessing what it would have done. If you don't believe the Lie Angle Balance technology works. I'm not here to convince you otherwise. 🤷♂️
Can you put the lab up against the ping Anser 2d?
Were you charged duties on arrival from the states? I just don't want to know what to expect before I place my order.
We weren’t but I never know when to expect duties. Some carrier are better than others.
So hard to get your hands on one of these in Ireland without ordering. I’d like to try before I buy.
The resale market is very strong if you decide you don’t like. Relatively low risk.
@@NewNineGolf I thought the lie angles etc were specific to the user?
They are. I still know lots of guys who use one that wasn’t fit for them and they roll it well. If you get one to your specs and someone else buys it after you it’s their problem lol
Played in a tournament and one guy in our group putted lights of with the df 2.1. My first impression was that's ugly. By the time we finished I was contacting L.A.B. Golf. Found a great deal on the L.A.B. Golf blemished or used putter site.
That’s awesome. How do you like it?
@@NewNineGolf I got the df 2.1 and love it. Rolls like a dream. It's like the ugly kid in the family that does everything right.
Haha that’s awesome. Looking forward to rolling it outside.
The lab putter was actually open to your path vs the ping being square to your path (at least in your avg numbers), which means that the ping is actually better being more square to your stroke, no?
I was negative on both so it means I was pulling both. The face angle was better with the LAB but the stroke was more left. Probably because I might be overcompensating or could be the lighter weight. Not sure. Reading some of the comments of people with a LAB. Looks like I have to let the putter do the work. I was actually having a discussion with the fitter about this as I was confused on how face angle and path work together for putting because it's not like a driver where you can draw or slice your putts. He told me face angle is more important. I came across this which is a good read. ralphmaltby.com/putter-face-angle-vs-path/#:~:text=The%20more%20important%20of%20the,result%20of%20the%20putters%27%20path.
Good vid bro. Thoughts. Do you pronounce it data or data ?! And how weird/ugly is the non center mounted grip? 🤢
I like the grip A LOT more than I thought I would. Like a lot a lot.
@@NewNineGolf a lot a lot :). My buddy just grabbed one. I'll get it in my hands and report back
Should try the new Evnroll ev5 putters.. surprised not much talk about them
Interesting. Do they have similar stability characteristics?
Agreed - Evnroll by far is the most underrated putter brand out there - I want to play other putters but always come back to my Evnroll because fortunately unfortunately - it’s the most effective… so even if you’d prefer something else for aesthetic, brand or popularity reasons - do yourself a favour and try an Evnroll in your favourite shape.
Will add it to the list no doubt.
@@BA-kp1us that's why pros don't use it.
@@giomusah2155 you must not know much about business - pros don’t use it because they aren’t paid to use it. The primary reason guys use the equipment they do is the sponsorship money and my 2nd point would be the benefits of any of these unique putters Evnroll, Lab, etc is primarily going to be felt by amateurs - pros use blades when most amateurs wouldn’t have a prayer using them - not sure that’s the best proxy for whether equipment is good for an amateur - well the pros don’t use it - good…because you’re not a pro.
Hi, very interested, but not sure if to make the step to buy it. What would be your feedback after a few months using it in real life ?
So when I first started used it my first two rounds I had around 26-29 putts which is really good for me. I found the head to be lighter than I was used to. I’d say the break in period was roughly 10 rounds to really get used to it. Now I love it!
@@NewNineGolf thanks. Really appreciate you taking the time
I'm contemplating this club.... Did you bag it? If you did but benched it, why? Thx
It was in the bag for 90% of the summer. It’s back in now too. Really like it
@@NewNineGolf cool, glad you like, I'm likely pulling the trigger.
@NewNineGolf any updates on the Mezz 1 putter? Is it still working for you?
I found the MEZZ 1 light and switched to the Link. Still figuring it out lol.
@@NewNineGolf I agree....tried the mezz 1 at Golfuture and really tough on long lag putts (green wasn't super fast)...inside 10' feet I think it's pretty good...always on line but I like to feel some weight in the head....I do like the idea of the tech
Still like the link? Is it really much different than a classic Scott NP2
@IBOTCHvx33 Center shafted makes it much different for sure.
Seems maybe that "revealer" is just a nice trick. Why? The amount of energy to putt a ball seems so low vs. your grip or hold on the club i. Grip is stronger than any tiny "force" on the putter face from the hit. i.e. So your hold on a putter in the square position is guiding square is 98% by your hands. IF you have an swing arc, it will be an arc with a face loaded putter? I think 85% of your putting is in your confidence levels guiding intuition for distance and most of the aim. Rest of the aiming and distance is practice and good hand to eye coordination. Tell me how I am wrong? New putters works for a while, new confidence, then poof same old (per Lee Travino). ??
Nice review! How long did this stay in your bag?
It was in my bag for about a month. Took it out and now it’s back in the bag. Not sure if you follow my IG but I posted some of my best putts of the year with the MEZZ recently.
I’ll be sure to follow! I watched your WITB and saw it was out so was curious. You just have too many putters to test? Or why did it ever come out?
@purrly8578 ya basically lol. I have a putting mat at home and was loving one of my old putters. LAB is way more consistent tho
I really appreciate your responses. Thank you!!!
@purrly8578 Anytime 👊🏻
under 30 skid is good? wow I have been getting consistent 18-19 with my Evnroll
Woah impressive! What monitor do you use?
Did you say $900?
Canadian
Good review except you gave incorrect information. You said the Mezz Max was LAB's most forgiving putter. That is incorrect. The DF 2.1 is LAB's most forgiving putter. That and the thumbnail pic is horrible.
Plz tag me in your next RUclips video to see what expert thumbnails looks like!
Ok, will do, but if you want to see expert thumbnails you should check out Breaking Points, Legal Eagle, Joe Rogan, Andrew Huberman, Task & Purpose, Rick Sheils, Digging the Greats, or many others. @@NewNineGolf
99.9% of the time the problem isn’t your putter.
Different types of putters work better for different types of strokes. Different alignment aids work best for different types of people based on their stroke and whether they are left eye or right eye dominant. The length, the lie and how it balances all have an effect. It's easy and very simple to say the putter doesn't matter. Perhaps take a look at a SAM putt lab session or go for a putter fitting if you're interested in seeing some actual data and researching the subject.
My Dunham putter still makes birdies, not worth spending all that $$$ folks.
@fujoman999 Golf Town in south calgary has LAB putters in stock
