L.A.B. DF3 Putters - 2024 Forum Review
Just_the_Chip replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
I actually got to use the putter today. Got out for 9 holes and it was awesome to use on the course. Even got a nice 15 footer off the fringe! For a 18.5 hanidcap, that's a big deal for me. I will say, it CAN come off the face pretty fast. but it really does just hit it straight. It's hard to describe, but I think I was compensating or adjusting the face of my old putter. I don't feel like I was pushing or pulling puts, but just legitimately hitting my line, and realizing that I really have zero idea how to read a green. Lagging puts was a hit or miss for me. Looking forward to the better golfers reviews. But I think I found the putter thats staying in my bag for a long long time. Warning: people will notice your putter, and immediately want to try to it, hold it, etc. LOL. -

I definitely don't mind the noise. I just want the performance. But I was sort of shocked by it. It wasn't crazy loud like an original Karsten Ping A1 putter, but it was there. I was using a chromesoft ball. Just for kicks, I quickly tried a Vice Pro Plus I had kicking around in the bag, and it wasn't there as much. Either way, the putter did perform really well between 3 -5 feet for me. Outside of 15 feet it took me a few times to get used to lagging. Inside of 3, the I really just had to tap the ball to get it move quickly. I ONLY noticed the sound on the longer lag putts. -

I got mine out to the putting green yesterday and really enjoyed it. There is not a lot of change that was needed, which shocked me. It comes off the faces, crisply, so learning speed was a bit tricky. I'm really really really curious to see what the forum testers do with it. I was more shocked by the sound. I was getting a really solid aluminum "Clink" sound with the ball I was using especially over longer shots that wasn't perfectly hit in the middle. -

I’ve been looking for a custom headcover person to make me a giant Pepperidge farm goldfish headcover -

My goldfish arrived. I love it. I was really worried about the LIE angle because I’ve been going through a putter swing change, but it seems to do both my swings just fine. -
I want to know what genius decided that covering up the iconic light house on 18 with grand stands was a good idea. It’s so crazy to me that one of the iconic visuals, teeing off towards the light house , doesn’t even look like it anymore.

I don't have a 2.1 to have that problem lol. I have an older used Evnroll ER2, that I started using last year. It's been a great putter but hot off the face. After seeing people switch to a mallet style and having great success, and then researching people's craze about LAB, I decided, heck with it. Take the plunge, buy one, use it for an entire season, and see if I like it or not. I rolled a few at stores, but you can't even tell a putter from a dozen rolls on a mat in a store selling putters. So now it looks like I have a gold fish. I almost want to add a google eye to mine when it arrives. -
I'm still hunting for one. It's not a huge priority to me. I have a Spornia net I set up in my garage, and I think plenty of space behind for the radar systems. I have been deciding between the SC4 and MLM2PRO. From what I've been reading, none really give you shot shape? Meaning if you are slicing a ball, you don't really know it until you are out and on the course because of the lack of side spin data? Can anyone confirm that? I would hate to spend that much money only to find out I'm killing my game. My buddy has the R10, it works well enough in his garage, but the killer for me is the driver. If you place your drive behind the ball and give a waggle, the R10 will not register the drive. you have to place the club behind the ball and not move at all.

I have an orange DF3 in production right now... I never saw that.. Until now.... Thanks. lol -
I do not travel with my clubs a lot, but I do have a trip coming up that's giving me a chance to bring my clubs. Someone had recommended me Bag Boy, but that $400 dollar price for a bag I might use once every couple years is tough for me. I'm assuming there are other just as effecting travel bags? Anyone have Travel bags they would recommend for under $200? Thank you.

PGA Tour/OWGR or actual real life World Rankings? I would say Schauffele or Rahm in the short term.

Anthony Kim is no golf savior
Just_the_Chip replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Breaking News and Debate
After watching Tiger make the cut at the Masters, it made me think of Anthony Kim and his recent interview. Politics aside, if it's true that he hasn't touched a golf club in years up until about three months before his first LIV Outting, I'm actually really really impressed. Everyone was trashing his scores, and him landing dead last, but to me it's similar to Tiger. Tiger didn't golf professionally at all last year due to injury, and so if you look at their scores it's at least enough to raise an eyebrow towards AK. At 41 I've enjoyed watching Tiger and AK. Watching Tiger is tough sometimes though. I equate it to watching your old dog dragging his back legs around the house and you know it's any day now, that it's over. With Anthony Kim, it's like netflix special. Rising star, injury, severe addiction, and then sobriety. I want tiger to win one more major, but I would also love to see an AK win. -
They aren't showing Phil all that much but from what I've seen, I thought his putter was pretty level. He had some excruciating missed putts. Some that were just left or just right, but I didn't notice the toe at all. Could it have been the undulations of the greens?

I just got the went into production email yesterday! I can't wait! I had logged into the LAB golf website only to find my order was gone. After several panicked emails, I was informed they are upgrading their website but all orders are safely being processed. Anyone know how long after the in production it took to get yours?
