I picked up one of these "Used" in Sept of 2019 for $230. I have since sold off the 3 Scotty Camerons I had, plus numerous other putters. I've been playing golf 40+ years and this is hands down the best putter I've ever used (and I've tried them all).
I've gotten similar results --- i've been playing just shy of 40 years myself, and i'm not one to switch out putters much --- played a Ping Pal for 25 years, then switched to a Ping Pal TR for a few years after that. I got hold of one of these LAB putters a couple of years ago in a pro shop and couldn't miss with it. But the price scared me off. Then early last year, I saw another one in another pro shop, and got the same results. So i took the plunge, and i wished i had this thing my whole life. If you miss with this putter, it's you -- either your stroke or your ability to line yourself up. The stability of this thing provides something i never even knew i needed until i got it. I've been playing with it for over a year now, and now i can't help but feel the torque of other putters now if i try them. They're all so bad that i can't imagine ever changing back.
I've been playing golf for 55 years and used many putters but my L.A.B Directed Force putter is by far the est putter i've ever used. The feel is amazing and i've been sinking at least one bomb every round plus my confidence on the short putts, 5-6 feet, is through the roof. One thing you need to do is make sure that you have the putter shaft in the middle of your stance with the ball forward. Expensive yes but worth every penny. If you're paying $550 on an driver, why not a putter ???
I’ve been playing 86 years and the Scotty rolls better
@@hawkey100 so I just got their new LAB Mezz putter that just came out. This putter is fang-shaped and a much smaller head. Coming off using a Scotty 2012 Newport 2 forever. The face appears to me to look closed at address every time. I’ll try what you say, put shaft center and ball forward. Makes me think ball would go left as face looks closed to me but I’ll try.
Love ur enthusiasm during ur videos. Subject matters are always well explained, definitely helped my game and product buying decisions
Good review Matt. Your explanation of torque was well conveyed.
Bought this exact putter and alignment aids, but using broomstick model ... my playing partners have noticed I am making more putts than usual, even 15-25ft more than my previous putter. Many of us buy custom fitted clubs, I finally after 30yrs of custom clubs, invested in this putter... loving it.
Great calm review without all the drama 👍🏽☺️. Thank you
Mine was delivered about a month ago. I really like it - I'm not a great putter at the best of times, but this gives me a much more consistent roll, and seems to be helping me with my pace control as well - always a weakness of mine, leaving everything short. Expensive, yes, but I figured people spend that much on a driver (I never would do that) and I only use the driver about four times a round. This putter I still have to use more often than I'd like, but it's giving me much better results now that I've got used to it, and is therefore really improving my confidence as well. (I still three putt with it, of course. Just not as often.)
Love your content and the love at the end of your videos. It's one of the main reasons I subscribe
Just got one off eBay for $250. Had my most consistent putting round I can remember. Every 1st putt was either in or within 10-12 inches of the hole on all sides. Had a couple that settled about 2-3 foot from the hole.
The LAB 1.5 putter grip has definitely helped me. Added it to my ping anser. I don’t think I will ever buy the putter itself though
I bought one used before the beginning of this season. I was reluctant on looks alone, but it is the best putter I have ever owned. There goes my days of gaming beautiful Scotty putters. :(
I just bought the putter, did the remote fitting, and it feels good to have a custon made putter in your hands, it's been in the bag for about 2 1/2 weeks. It feels good in my hands and gives a bit of confidence when lining up a putt.
how did you decide on what shaft to buy or did you do "standard" steel shaft?
Great review. Thank you. Wich shaft did you buy? There is a "normal" one and a more expensive shaft model...
Peter Finch did a great video on the LAB Putters. He used one for quite a while until he tested a bunch of them just this year and it barely lost out. Great putter and worth the money if you know how to order your own gear without a professional.
Loved the video. Have you tried the new DF3 putter. I am considering on ordering one of these in the near future
I got both models, love them both but the blade is in my bag, love the higher levels of feedback
Ugly is so subjective. When Karsten Solheim came up with his design for the Ping Anser, the guys on tour were hesitant to try it because it looked so radical from what they were used to (think Wilson 8802). Scotty Cameron turned the Anser into one of the most sought after putters on tour in the Newport design. So who knows, this might be the standard of the future in putter designs. It’s not too far off from the Futura I once used.
Crazy putter! Would love a video explaining the benefits or problems of having (and playing) more than one set of clubs. For example, some people have a Sunday bag that is a different set than their day-to-day clubs. Thanks Mr. SG!
I don’t know a single golfer that does this
I have a bunch of putters including a couple of Scotty Camerons, Evnroll, TM Spiders, etc. I've found that out of the gate, I putt just as well with any of them. However, as I get tired or start getting too many swing thoughts going through my head my ability to putt remains consistent with the LAB. The other putters require more finesse to get the face back to square at impact. The LAB is neutral and more confidence inspirting regardless of what's in my head or how long I've been in the sun. I wish it had an insert because it feels a bit tinny. In spite of that it's staying in my bag.
I have one. It’s made this very bad putter pretty good. I now, for the first time, have confidence on short putts. It makes me lag better. I so rarely have a three putt now that my partners comment if it happens. In the past before I had this putter, I’d have several a round. It may not look pretty but in my eyes this is the most beautiful putter in the world. Thank you Lab Golf!
what shaft did you get?
Matt, Have you ever heard of Honu putters out of Maui? I was thinking of purchasing one of these. Was hoping you could do a review on one before I buy one. I 100% trust your judgement...
Try the "Lateral line putters" 🤞🏽 pretty similar to this and has been around for a bit now
I own one and just love it... best putter I have used... got it on EBay.. for $300
Just picked mine up yesterday and canned some beautifully long putts. Already loving it. Slightly lighter than I anticipated but I'll get used to it. Anyone interested in a used EVNROLL putter? I can also use my new putter for branding cattle or making my wife pancakes because it is the size of a frying pan. This putter is so easy to line up. My friends were at first making jokes and then later in the round seriously checking it out. That's when I knew this was going to be a great addition to my bag!
Love the content!
I have one Matt in Black. Had it almost 2 years, I’ve never putted so well. All my mates take the mick out of me, calling it a branding iron. Not laughing when I’m sinking putts from all over the Green 😂 takes a bit of getting used too, it needs to be played forward of Center. Once you get it how to use it, you’ll never go back. ⛳️
Great Review!
I own a custom DF1 putter. It replaced my Scotty Cameron Newport 2. The DF1 is easier to square to the hole = more putts made. There is a learning curve as setup changes are required and a straight back and through stroke is required. That being said the DF1 is my gamer.
Tried it. I drained almost everything as I was waiting at club champion for my irons to be adjusted. If I had t just purchased a seemore I would have grabbed it. More than likely will get it soon anyway
I have a Tour Edge Pure Feel putter that’s is very similar and I have improved my putting with it. Not nearly as expensive
Nice shirt. Only about 70 miles from there
Tinkered with one at the PGA super store, it’s very ugly but feels really good.
How would you compare the LAB putter versus The Honu that also doesn’t torque and cost about $200 or less that you reviewed in December? The no torque concept I believe is referred to as a center of mass putter.
I’m more interested in snagging one of those Pinhurst shirts!
My playing partner has one. It's near impossible to miss a out within 6 ft with this thing.
I have had mine about 1 year. On long putts, I use an open stance and look at the hole. Shorter putts I still have an open stance but look at the ball. Excellent putter. You need to get fit for it by someone who knows hot to fit as the length and lie angle are very important to get right.
interesting...with the open stance, do you find yourself missing left?
No twerking with the putter face!!😂😂😂🤣🔥
Thanks again, MR. S for a great review. I hate to be one of those guys that immediately dismisses a product solely based on looks, but in this case, I can't help it. I just don't go for huge, weird looking putters. But really, at this price, Its a moot point, anyway. My putting problems will only be fixed when they come up with one that reads greens for you because when it comes to that skill, I am borderline illiterate. My putting stroke is fine and consistent. I roll it right on my chosen line most of the time. Unfortunately, my lines are wrong too often. I would really appreciate a good video on reading greens, though.
Yeah fuck this putter bro it looks like something an idiot would use
Feels weird to replay to myself, especially a year later but a year can make a lot of difference. Forget most of what I said above. Long story short, I am now gaming this putter. I've had it in the bag for about 4 rounds now and love it. The first round, I drained about a 25 footer for birdie on my 4th hole. My confidence on those knee-knockers of 3-5ft is the highest ever now. With the wide face and the fact that I can miss the center and not suffer any loss of distance or direction, my lag putting has improved greatly. Distance control is better because I can take a longer backswing. I may have found my forever putter. They still need to work on the feature that will read greens for you though.
@@frankzayas3103Nice to see someone who can admit to being wrong about something. 👍
I’m feeling that dice putting is not as complicated as the bigger golf swing I may need to meditate more on the putting stroke to develop feel.
Need to update this review with a broomstick. Recommend the Mezz Max with TPT shaft.
Great review. Too pricey for this weekend Warrior
Play more then 🐱
@@DavidMossMGS Not retired yet, funny man. I am a FT paramedic and a restaurant owner. I just don't have the time to
Just got one used for $250 off eBay and LOVE it
You can make a "factory second" for $315 which is less than most odyssey putters and Scotty's and it is WAY better and more consistent. Just fyi!
does the Directed Force L.A.B. Putter come in a belly length shaft of 48" or so
iwana try it!
whats the moi?
coupon code?
Which grip did you put on it? I just bought a LH putter on marketplace, but it has a right handed grip, it has the press no II 1.5, first order of business is to change grips, just not sure which one to go with. I was pulling long putts and pushing short putts during my first round with this putter, but overall it was still performing well… the wrong handed grip feels weird, not sure if the previous owner was putting with the claw grip…
Given the center shaft, it has to be a straight back, straight thru stroke.
I pulled the trigger on this putter after reading all the positive reviews.
It's not a magic wand. I gave an extensive test to my existing odyssey tri hot. For me, I could not get used to the weight of it. Most people, they can't stand the looks. I figured if I was saving putts I couldn't care what it looked like.
I found myself constantly pushing putts and my lag putting wasn't as good compared to old faithful. I literally gave it 10 rounds and hrs of comparison on the practice green.
Peter Finch is calling who did do it first, but nonetheless great review!
I have one and haven't missed a putt in 10 rounds!
im thinking about buying one on ebay for 230. this review will either make me do it or not
You need to try the biomec putter it is amazing great for biomechanics
I have an armlock version. Changed my putting life!!!
I seriously want/need to try one these out. Everyone knows their hideous but swear but them.
How does it compare to the Hondu
This putter is amazing. Only draw back is extremely soft so it will scuff and dent easily. Must put head cover on immediately after use.
Are you going to review the new DF3?
I use one of these with a stability shaft. I like it but most of the people I play golf with never saw one so they think I have a giant putter head.
What about compared to the Honu putter?
Did i hear twerking? 😂 good review. I had one of these and they are great. Good alignment, but ugly as sin. They are huge. They perform tho for sure. Customer service is great with online fitting. The no torque concept is neat but i really dont think it contributes to much, as it doesnt take hardly any grip pressure at all to mitigate torque on a normal putter. Ultimately i switched and went to something that looks and feels better to me.
Peter Finch use to put with the same putter as this one... His one was black in color
The LAB putters are the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot of putters in my time
How about 2 putter in the bag one for long and one for short - feel versus stability
I love my LAB putter!!!
That’s be exact DF 2 custom color shaft and color I want. Go Hoosiers!
what happened to the Honu putter
Finch and Shiels both did a review of this thing. Of course, Shiels makes everything he looks at with it, but decided he didn't like it :)
Tried it. Could not get past the "pingy" sound and overall size. Not for me. Hope it works for you.
Yea same here, it rolled great but feel and looks are subpar
Maybe adding weight to my existing putter head would add a more balanced feel .
I tried one recently at a PGA Superstore. Can't stop thinking about it. Ugly af, but unless you have parkinsons your swing will be buttery smooth and on line. Weighted amazingly well.
First to go in depth on the LAB? @peterfinchgolf would beg to differ, sir. The maniac went so far as to put the ridiculous thing in his bag for a bit!
Love mine
Not worth it for me but great review.
Can you please review the axis 1 putter also
Great putter on the green. However, do not use it as a Texas wedge it is horrible putting off the green.
U see the new one!? Only making a 1000 of em , oh my she's gorgeous I'm ordering
I don't know??? Is anyone on the tour using this?
most of the guys on tour are paid to play something. And the ones that aren't, probably don't like the looks of this putter :)
I game a 20 yr old Odyssey 660,Guess who is collecting the cash after the round?Muah!!
T22 Newport 2, wouldn't change it for anything.......
well you are making a HUGE mistake..THis putter is so much better than basic 303 steel block that scottie marketed as "special"
The massive putter heads throw me off pace for whatever reason.
Thanks for the review but honestly it looks like a clowns putter. Might need to get a second golf bag just for the putter. Oh, the fun we could have if one of our 4somes showed up with this thing.
not as hilarious as ur name, DONG..bet u got picked on with that name
its all laughs until it keeps making putts and you don't
Not sure about most forgiving, but takes the podium for the ugliest. Down for anything that can help my score, but not sure I can look at this thing.
Test the Orlimar putters because they look the same as all the top brands but they're 1/10 of the price.
It looks huge ha ha
Should have said Honu Putter
They’re charging $1000 bucks for this and they’re all over eBay for $300 or less. That says a lot. You can buy a Scotty and basically sell it for the same 5 years later.
data is king
Putter will definitely look like Megamind if you get it in baby blue
Nice putter, but way too $$$ for the bogey golfer sadly.
Are you still using this putter?? gamer?
Rick shiels already done review
as well as Finch
IS THIS THE WORLD'S MOST FORGIVING PUTTER? yes.
Are you paid by them for this?
No
Probably a good idea to say that - sorry if I missed it in the video...reviews are super compelling when there is no benefit to the poster...
Here’s my “mad” thought...
14 clubs
Putting is “42%” of the game
Why only one putter ??
One feel putter for long putts one putter like this one for inside ten feet ... ?
Or one long one short ?
Could be a good video
...
If you're struggling to hit the centre of the putter, I wouldn't have any hope for you with an iron. This company just feels like a massive gimmick.
Looks like a pacifier for a baby
Most forgiving? Don't know but most ugly yes, definitely...
Its ugly as hell and for a club I would use 30+ times a round, that ain't happening.
Rule #1. if you're going to design something, make sure people want to be seen with it.
Nah, not for me. Just another clever gimmick. I'll look again when pros win tournaments consistently with this.
Great review, but this putter is so ugly ...
Luv ya Matt, but a big fat NO WAY to that "putter".
Titleist must be paying Mr. SG a fortune as every club he tests he doesn't game and always reverts to and sticks with his Titleist gamer's, this channel is losing its punch
This putter seems like a major gimmick for bad putters. Feels like throwing money at equipment that puts a band aid on your bad stroke when you could spend $50 and go get a lesson and be a better putter without having to get that ugly thing.
I agree. However, the torque that they talk about exist. The amount of hours you have to spend to mitigate the torque of the putter is crazy. If you are a 0 hdcp and have 31 to 35 ppr and hitting 13 to 16 gir I would recommend this putter. It will move you to a +2 or +3 hdcp
