bigsleazy55 got a reaction from MikeCeb in LAB Link . 1 (My first review)
I am a new member and really like the idea of being a club tester and doing reviews. I recently purchased the LAB Link . 1
My old putter was the triple track two ball.
I'd been contemplating a move for a few months and when I came across the Link 1 at the PGA store I had to give it a go.
My first impression upon taking it off the shelf was, WOW. I love the strong design and look of the "magic" screws on the top of the blade. I also loved the look of the black shaft against the steel face! the sight line on the one i have is not on the top of the club, I dont mind but some buddies did say that was odd.
So the look surely checked all of the boxes for me.
The feel was pleasantly surprising. I must say I favor a heavy putter over a light one for sure so maybe that is why I liked it.
I have not upgraded the grip or anything yet. I have been using the standard rubber grip that it comes with. I was concerned with changing the grip due to all the "tech" in the putter. With so many different putter grip options I figured I would stay with standard and consider a jumbo grip down the line.
I wound up going with the 35 inch shaft and standard lie angel. I did not get fitted.
The price was a bit of sticker shock, but I was able to trade a few old clubs in during an event and really get some good value back.
After a few rounds and several hours of practice I must say I am rolling the ball much better. I am still struggling on the greens due to lack of skill reading green, but my strokes are much more consistent. I am still getting used to the blade vs a mallet.
I'd pay full price if I had to.

Hey Folks!
I am a new member and figured I'd share what is in the bag for this season.
I am playing SIM MAX 2 Irons that I got fitted for at the Club Champion. (5-PW)
I have gained some needed distance for sure from my old G10 pings, and finally after a year of play i feel like I am just dialing them in now....
Still sporting the Srixon Z785 driver but looking for something new, not sure if I am ready to pull the trigger just yet. It's tough for me I like to play with the driver before buying lol
Old school 3w Cleveland
Callaway Apex 3H
Clev Zip core 50/54/58
I am light one club, but my distances are at a point I dont know what else I could use.... I guess that is the case when you are not very long off the tee.
