I agree 100% on this video. I had a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 and had been struggling with opening my face and missing putts by just inches. (So Frustrating) so I did some research and LAB just kept coming up in my research. So I decided to check them out. Unfortunately for me the closest place to try one was a 4 hour drive. I drove it, I tried the LAB Putters and immediately seen there’s something special about the technology in them, I was making putts. I tried all the models and decided the Mezz Max was the fit for me. I bought it and have been super pleased with the outcome. I’ve made many many more putts and those dreaded 3 foot putts just fall in. I have much more confidence in the fact that I will make putts which really helps the ball go in the hole! Definitely recommend checking these out and shoot lower score. Great review.
as a total lab convert currently gaming the df, every one who wants to putt better should get one. took me almost two months to really be able to groove, but putting is now my favorite part of the game
I love how the controversy is, "it looks weird", without taking the technology or actual personal testing into account. I love modern technology that can help you become a better golfer and most of us need that. I'm determined to win this after seeing you putt lights out vs Grant, and if I don't, I definitely need to find one to try out.
Putting being made easier is absolutely the quickest way to make golf fun again. I realized it when I went side saddle. Changed my entire outlook on the game.
I have had one of these for a couple years and I find my putting improved drastically. I used to have issues with heel & toe strikes. With this putter, I never have that problem anymore!! Highly recommended!!!
Nice review! As someone who notoriously forward presses his putter, would love to give the L.A.B. a test run and see the difference between my Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5X. Mallets all the way EAL!
The putting in the video with Grant was brilliant and hopefully your putting continues to improve going forward. On the question of worth it? its like anything we buy its all relative for most people probably not, but if you can afford it then why not, as golfers we do spend £500 on drivers or get it second hand. Personally I think there is a mental block spending the same money on a putter, even when the putter is far more important to our game than the driver. Our score can be made or broken by how we putt more so than how we hit a driver. Personally I swapped from a blade putter to a mallet a year or two ago and I am a lot more confident with it. My issue with a mallet style is the look, and the look of a putter plays a major part in putting as you need to be confident standing over it, and sometimes the larger designs can be more off putting it. Finally apologies for the long rant, but interesting watch and looking forward to seeing who wins and how they find the putter.
I have one of these. Since owning it, my putting stats have been brilliant. Although it’s a lot of money, it’s better value than paying lots of money for a driver. I am anticipating my handicap to fall this year as my putting gets better.
I have the MEZZ.1... I love it. Over the putt I feel I can start it on my line everytime. I just need to concentrate on dialling in the other two parts the read and the speed.
I ended up buying one right after the video with Grant you did. It arrives today!. I went and looked at other RUclips videos on the putter to see what others were saying and everyone seems to rave about it.
I try out this putter every time I walk into the PGA superstore.. I just wasn't sure how it would carry over to the actual course. But after watching your match against Grant.. the confidence it gave you was definitely showing. Even Grant was impressed.. would love to be selected as the winner of this giveaway.. so when I pull it out in the first green, my buddies will be Like what in the he'll is that thing.. then take their money..
Saw your match with Grant and this got me more interested in the lab. It definitely works for you. Thanks for reviewing the putter and giving some insight into the company
Praying I win that beauty. I’ve been rocking the same putter for 15 years. I believe that LAB would cut a couple strokes off and bring down to a single handicap. Love the videos keep up the awesome work!
I need that putter in my bag! I watched this video to see your opinion after seeing another RUclips golf channel using them, but their review was less detailed. Thanks for the awesome content and the bad ass golf gloves lol. If I win ill fly out and play a round with it and wear 2 golf gloves if necessary !
Putting with a LAB putter is different than anything I'd ever had before. The feel is just so stable and solid but soft at the same time, almost like it's rubber mounted, which may be due to it being the first putter I've had with a graphite shaft. I love my Mezz1 AR.
Watched the match with Grant. Honestly you smoked it with the L.A.B. Putter. Best putting I’ve seen you do over the length of your RUclips career! Would love to give it a try 🤞
Totally LOVE my LAB Mezz 1 Max Armlock. It’s changed my putting. I am totally sold on their tech. Now that I’ve been using the armlock I kinda want to try the non armlock version too 😁 Heck I may even give the DF 2.1 a go too!
I have a LAB Mezz putter and I may get hell on the course for how it looks but it has completely changed my putting and done wonders for me score wise.
20+ yrs ago, my putting was the worst. I couldn't read a line well, couldn't roll a ball end over end if my life depended on it. And my scores reflected it. A bad back injury / surgery kept me from swinging a club for a few months and during that time I decided i was making a change. So for three months, i learned all i could about putting and I putted with everything out there i could find to help me roll the ball better and on my intended line. I ended up with an Odyssey 2-Ball. They were new at the time. Took a while to get over the looks, but the RESULTS couldn't be argued with. I used that putter for a lot of years. The putter that followed was used for a lot of years. Those two putters weren't 'lookers' but they sure were players. Find what works for you and use it. And if you cast aside what works for ooh's and aaah's, you're giving away strokes. And in the end, rolling in the putts one after another after another is what impresses anyways.
Pride definitely a big factor in this one I wouldn't classify myself as a bad putter but seeing you and seeing many other people holding so many putts with these things I've definitely looked at testing one out just a shame its hard to find somewhere to test it out without having to pay the hefty pricetag! Ps: newsletter subscription link is just taking me to the homepage🥴
I’ve messing around with a LAB putter at PGA Superstore. Tried it again after watching your match with Grant. I was making everything around the practice green and kind want one now! Lol 😂
I am a huge putter guy, and by that I mean I am an average-sized guy who loves putters, and game a Scotty. I practice putting more than I really need to and would love to win one of these to see how much more I can improve my putting. My arcco stats would be fun to look at
I’m intrigued. Grip maybe just as different as putter head. Length is typically what I use. Would love to have putter and make as many putts as you. You gotta get another for you.
Your putting was amazing in the last course vlog. I am considering getting one. I dont like mallets so it would be a big adjustment but if it works then I could definitely game it.
Can't putt with anything else now. Love the torque free stability. Have won well over $1,000 off my golfing buddies since getting the LAB Directed Force. People laugh at the looks until they start seeing the putts drop. The new Mezz and Link.1 designs are fantastic too.
Wow, I have struggles with putting for some time. Played golf last weekend and I got paired up with three other guys. One had a LAB putter. Long story short he let me use it and I did want to give it back. 😅
Great review. It's not the putter that makes the difference, it's how you feel about that putter. All putters take at least a year to understand, I see way too many people spending way too much on putters, and drivers thinking it's not them, it's the club that's keeping me from hitting the pro circuit. Trust me bro, it's you that's the problem, not the putter or driver.
Invest in a putter - the most hit (stroked) club in the bag every round. Get fitted. Lie angle very important for one's setup and stroke. May need to improve either or both. Practice. Fall in love with putting ........ o ____ ! Most will have 28-38 putts per round - 100% or more than the driver, maybe 14 times per round. Many shell out $300-$500 every year or so for a new driver.
As a Mezz1 Max owner, I have to say that LAB putters are the real deal. I am sure we’ll see more tour pros playing them soon, especially that they have the new Link1 available. I don’t get why Eric is saying it’s $1000 though? On the site the stock is $399 and the custom is circa $550. Why $1000?
Have one love it if you get your line right it goes in...... I use it from around the greens as well, given you weight it up as a mallet. Mind was fully custom fitted, i consider it an investment. Only downsides, is its size, which is a pain in the bag and you need to make a subtle lift when taking it back or you can snag it on the ground in the backswing. Awesome choice for those interested, don't remember it costing me $1000 all the same.
The putters feel phenomenal with the lie angle balance technology. Working at PGA we have plenty of customers who end up purchasing it. Putting is all mental, and many customers State while they loved the feel, they couldn’t get over the look 👀 However I personally love all the styles they offer. Adam Scott is a great rep as well.
It’s a hard putter to just kind of show up and test for a few minutes and get over some of the differences because either it feels so different to everything else or it’s looks. I definitely believe you get over the looks after a couple days or weeks but you gotta get past that “first date”.
I’m with you EAL, I love the blade look more too… but the performance of the mallet can’t be denied. When I pull my fugly “daddy long legs” putter out the bag all my bros go “Wth is that?!” 😂
I don't know if it was LAB themselves, but my dad got a putter with a head exactly like that at the PGA Show about 10 years ago. I hated it back then, still hate it now. But at least I "get" it a little more. Haha
Would love a chance to win! I have an essential tremor in my dominant hand and I currently use a heavy putter. Feel like the LAB technology would help a ton but don’t have the $ to afford it.
I loved the video with Grant. He was totally in awe and wonder with your putting on the course in Austin. Keep up the good work. Like, subscribe, and follow!!!!
We saw your putting in that last play through with Grant….HELL YES that LAB putter is worth it.
Nah, the average person is not spending $1000 on just a putter. Not worth it at all.

It's the pride thing BUT....I did notice LAB does have other styles. Are they any less effective or all stroke dependent?
Lab putters are criminally underrated and a I am glad to see you reviewing one, fantastic putter!
7:05 bro I thought the hole was that spot right in front of him and I DIED laughing 😂😂😂

Your putting with Grant put this at the top of my wish list.
Looks dope. You definitely seemed more confident putting on that sweet match play track. Send that confidence stick my way….I need it.
I also got a birdie on hole one with my first round with the LAB putter. Love it!
Saw your match with Grant and this got me more interested in the lab. It definitely works for you. Thanks for reviewing the putter and giving some insight into the company
Been playing a LAB for a few years now ... its amazing. Highly recommended to everyone.
The reason I think tigers putter worked so well is because he’s never changed it and stuck with it through good and bad periods
Or maybe he is tiger
Yeah 30 years of knowledge on what to do and what not to do with a tool helps
He did change it tho. He played a Nike method.
@@hellrzr3335 yeah changed it to an
Odyssey too I think as well
He knew exactly what he wanted with his putters custom

Thank you for the chance to win. This DF looks awesome.
Absolutely. Great review!
I’ve messing around with a LAB putter at PGA Superstore. Tried it again after watching your match with Grant. I was making everything around the practice green and kind want one now! Lol 😂
I bought a LAB putter and one year in my putts per GIR dropped from 2.1 to 1.9. Really enjoy it. I get better with it every round.
I swear I watched the Grant video and am now going to a LAB dealer on Monday in Basingstoke, UK for a fitting.
Super cool of LAB and RGC to partner up like this… Hey EAL, can I send in a dirty glove for replacement too? Lol!
I am a huge putter guy, and by that I mean I am an average-sized guy who loves putters, and game a Scotty. I practice putting more than I really need to and would love to win one of these to see how much more I can improve my putting. My arcco stats would be fun to look at
got one last season and love it, already thinking about getting another one
I’ve had mine for one year. I get crap for the looks but love the results. DF 2.1 red, three lines, 35 inch, (upright) 75 degrees.
I’d definitely love the chance you get to try this putter! Awesome videos on the channel too! Your video with Grant was 🔥
I really enjoy playing Shadowglen golf club. I can't wait to see what L.A.B Golf Putters can do.
Please lord id love the putter and to be part of a random golf club film more!
The video with grant was pretty awesome. From your other videos I’ve watched that putter really made a difference.
I tried these putters when I visited Dallas and they were great. I should have just paid to ship one back to Wales!
Love the honest feedback and I noticed your improvement right away while playing Grant. Especially Grants face when you sank some DEEEEEP putts!
Hey let me know how well it works now that you won one……
I putt from ANYWHERE I need this bad boy in my bag ASAP!!!
I was waiting for this video since the match with Grant. Rolling the rock to perfection
I’m intrigued. Grip maybe just as different as putter head. Length is typically what I use. Would love to have putter and make as many putts as you. You gotta get another for you.
Damn near drive with this putter. One club challenge hear I come!!
I need the L.A.B putter in my life! Great review
Man! If only... I'm still using the "Never Compromise" putter I bought used back in college 30 years ago...
Your putting was amazing in the last course vlog. I am considering getting one. I dont like mallets so it would be a big adjustment but if it works then I could definitely game it.
They have a great blade option as well called the Link.
Great review. Find these putters so interesting. Would love to check one out.
Went there got fitted and walked out with my new DF the L.A.B site is such a great experience
Ok got entered into the contest, thanks for the chance!
At one point a spyder or fang putter probably was "crazy"... Now even scotty cameron make them. If it goes in the hole, it's a beauty!
Can't putt with anything else now. Love the torque free stability. Have won well over $1,000 off my golfing buddies since getting the LAB Directed Force. People laugh at the looks until they start seeing the putts drop. The new Mezz and Link.1 designs are fantastic too.
I would love to own this putter , I love the look of it and the center shaft as well.
Seen it first with Pete Finch
It's says follow news letter at: but no link, anyone else?
Oops, there now.
Alright complete all steps!!! Bring on the putter.
Good luck to all who enter! Would be such a delight to win this puppy!
With the way you were rolling that ball with Grant ....I could definitely use that putter. Hell even some gloves may help my game at this point!
Wow, I have struggles with putting for some time. Played golf last weekend and I got paired up with three other guys. One had a LAB putter. Long story short he let me use it and I did want to give it back. 😅

This is cool a 10 minute ad for LAB golf on your channel
I need the nerves of steel on the green!! Id love to try one of these if not maybe have one for myself;) hahaha
After seeing you draining putts with Grant, I want one. But $1000 putters aren't exactly in my budget.
How did I not know about LAB Golf until I watched this video?! They’re just down the road from me! 😂😅 awesome putter!
Congrats on the new putter....hope it serves you well in the coming years!

Love mine. Been in the bag for 3 seasons now.

Am I the only one that can't seem to find an option to subscribe to the newsletter through the link?
you use a driver 14 times a round, you putt 37-35 times, twice as much. It's absolutely worth it. I play with a LAB too.
Would love a LAB Putter. Kind of goofy looking, but most people say they really help getting the ball rolling on line.
First hole with the new putter - bird. Niiiice.
I could just picture Prince rolling a 60 footer for birdie in the pouring rain with a purple L.A.B putter.
Mmm. Would love to win that putter. Great review. The putting with Grant was epic.
I’m with you EAL, I love the blade look more too… but the performance of the mallet can’t be denied. When I pull my fugly “daddy long legs” putter out the bag all my bros go “Wth is that?!” 😂
Man I miss that course! Good ol Shadow Glen
I don't know if it was LAB themselves, but my dad got a putter with a head exactly like that at the PGA Show about 10 years ago. I hated it back then, still hate it now. But at least I "get" it a little more. Haha
I have had the a LAB putter since last May it’s the best
Looking forward to that interview! ;)
Came for the putter but now I’m trying to find the brand of that 1/4 zip 👌🏼👌🏼
The DF3 is the perfect solution to the looks of the 2.1
Love the look of that retainer...my teeth could use some straightening too! Pick me!
You were on fire against Grant! Go LAB!
Subscribed, Followed LAB on IF, Joined Newsletter - thanks Erik would love to win this putter!
Would love a chance to win! I have an essential tremor in my dominant hand and I currently use a heavy putter.
Feel like the LAB technology would help a ton but don’t have the $ to afford it.
Love the look of these putters wish I could afford one 🤣
I loved the video with Grant. He was totally in awe and wonder with your putting on the course in Austin. Keep up the good work. Like, subscribe, and follow!!!!
That would be a huge improvement for my game!
