I am glad to see the test for a LAB Counterbalance putter as I have been looking at a DF3 Counterbalance but I have a comment with your test. As others have said and I have experienced personally, a LAB takes a little bit of time to adjust to because it is a different stroke. I also understand what you said on gripping the putter but I think that also goes to the difference in how a LAB works. Your stroke has quite a bit of arc which is why the Cleveland works and the LAB can still work but it takes time to adjust it and you would probably end up more straight forward and straight back which your claw grip is already doing for you. The LAB doesn't rely on timing to square the clubface but the Cleveland with toe hang does. My bet is if you spent an extended amount of time with that LAB that you would putt as well if not better than the Cleveland. On the positive side, Cleveland putters are underrated so I am glad to see that is your gamer if it isn't a LAB and you putt well with it.
My only input is you're comparing initial feel / performance v.s a putter that you've had in your hands for a long time. You have feel with yours. With any new putter you have to develop some feel. But just my twocents from my comment earlier, I'm pretty adamant you wouldn't regret the L.A.B. Glad you're putting well with the Cleveland though! That's a boss move in itself
I just want to find the one I like the most first before I go all in on it. They are so expensive and I don't know what the resell market is like so I'm trying to find the right one first through all this testing
The LAB takes some time to adjust to. Both in how it feels and and changes to set up. I've had my DF3 for a few months now and can't imagine going back. 🙂
@@crankin7662 the problem is I dont want to spend $1000 on the wrong one. So Im trying to find the one I like the most first and then go all in on figuring it out
@@GabeGallucciGolf Side note - the resale market seems to be pretty strong on the Lab Fan Pages (as long as not too unique specs). As a RUclipsr, maybe you can reach out to them. I know most of the other RUclipsrs worked with LAB direct for fitting. Who knows, maybe they'll send you one?
@@fenglu3622 LAB for sure. Felt more comfortable and easier to use right away. I found with Jailbird I was missing some short putts that wouldn’t miss with the LAB

@@GabeGallucciGolf I totally get that! I was lucky that both my in-person and online fittings were "stock" so my cost was less than half that.

My DF3 is awesome. I vouch for the putters for sure. Just is so much easier. Been using mine for 4 months
LAB vs Jailbird ? Which one did you like better and why
@@fenglu3622 LAB for sure. Felt more comfortable and easier to use right away. I found with Jailbird I was missing some short putts that wouldn’t miss with the LAB
Maybe try a mezz 1 with the same grip style instead of a counterbalanced claw grip also they have a blade
@@kennyandrade7868 gonna keep experimenting until I find the right one💪🏻
I've heard that operator error is always more important than which putter! And money can't buy you 'love'!
@@imcriner3374 i have plenty of operator error😂😂😂
in my opinion a pistol grip is not correct with 3.0 grip , try a standard one with the extension of the index finger
That looks like the Mezz Max, not the .1
Link may be the winner for you!
how is it not close to making it in the bag if it was better than your gamer cleveland?
@@wesla2750 it wasn’t better… did you not see the results?
