I’m here for the XL responsibilities and the XL puns. Incredibly grateful and excited to put this product to the test! Thanks MGS!

Congrats testers! We’re all expecting big things from you!
see what I did there? XL net… big things… 
ok, I’ll go crawl back under my desk again. 

We've got a good group here! Congratulations testers! I have a feeling you all will enjoy this and I'm looking forward to your reviews. 

Please everyone welcome our testers for the Spornia XL Net!

Looking forward to how these work out for you guys and to see how it differs from the standard model previous members have tested. 

One of my daughters wants to be a film maker… this could get taken to the next level… as they say, stay tuned…. She’s 11, so be nice if there is a video!  Haha. Actually, don’t, she’s getting on my nerves at the moment.

My goal with this is a companion video, actually, covering everything from the write-up, so that for those who don't like reading, they still have a way of accessing all the info.  Pretty excited about the way to shoot it, too - camera nerd here, and my wife's a former indie producer, so we're already talking about best ways to go about it.  No promises on it looking like anything fancy, but given the opportunity, feels like a cool thing to be able to do.
And obviously, gratuitous close-ups of the putter. Maybe even wearing googly eyes and a mustache, because SOMETHING has to make the 2.1 attractive to some of you, and what's better than a disguise? 😉

I am going to TRY and do a video...which means I will...and it won't be nearly as good as several of others have done in years past but I think this one deserves it.

On it… upping my camera game.  Either with a new phone, or a new DLSR… or both.  Photo City headed your way. 📸 

Since the Press grips have the shaft at an angle, the lefthanded version would have to be different so that the shaft lean was correct. I really enjoy mine.
Mine's a little longer (36") and more upright (68*), but I have the BGT Stability Tour shaft as well. I also choke down on mine a little and almost play it like a little bit of a wrist lock grip.
I sure hope this becomes a picture-heavy thread. Going to be so many unique putters to look at. 

I’m pretty excited to get it on the course, Like @bens197 it will be competing against the trusty PING that has been there since 2015. 
 
I really wanted to play back in Michigan, but with only 4 days… I might sneak one or two early morning  rounds in… luckily, there is an awesome practice green just a few blocks away.  
 
A few places on the road will get the B.2 out in Montana, and I’m planning some rounds right when I get to Oregon. Hopefully this thing ships soon so I can use it on my “home” course of 3 years as much as possible.  I’ve gotten to know the greens pretty well, and my putting is far superior than it used to be… kicking the PING out will be a tall task for the B.2

The MEZZ.1 will be competing with the longest tenured putter in my bag since I split ways with my Anser 2 SS from 1999.  The Phantom X hits all the marks for me with looks, weight, feel, balance and performance.
Quite honestly, these are relatively subjective takes so in soliciting relatability for other spies I will say this.
I am a long time blade putter user who switched to a mallet because I wanted the benefit of higher MOI.  
I've been averse to traditional center shafted putters out of nothing more than bad luck.
I prefer a smaller profile pistol grip.
Many of these points are contrary to what I am testing...I want to love this MEZZ.1 and I have a feeling that could occur...The revealer videos are enticing and I really enjoy the enthusiasm that CEO Mr. Hahn has for his product.  I get a strong sense that these have been rigorously tested prior to mass release to the public. 
 

Since I’ve ordered the Brass B.2, I’ve been perusing the internet looking for user photos, found a few on other forums, but it looks like this thing will get a beautiful patina over time… adding to my excitement, all of my sailor friends will know how much fun polishing brass is… so I will NOT be doing anything but wiping off excess water, and a clean after using it… especially if they just put down the fertilizer.

I was going to save my whole build sheet for the review portion of the thread, but since everyone else is doing it… peer pressure is…
I blanked out the prices on purpose, because I don’t want it to skew your or my own thoughts on how this putter performs.  If you want, you can throw a build together to see what it cost in the end.  I am here for the performance of the club, not the sticker shock… but I will say it was VERY generous of L.A.B. To offer up the whole menu to us all.
Edit: that is not intended to be a dig at anyone, because in reality the cost does matter.  I will address that in my review.  I’m just different. 🙃
Here is my build sheet.
