Glad we could make some dreams come true 😃

I missed this somehow. Looks like a cast of thousands for this test, congratulations on those of you chosen.

congrats! Hope you love the putter as much I do. Best putter I have owned! 

Congrats to the testers selected. This really looks like a great group……

Good luck gentlemen. I think you will really enjoy this one. I have the DF 2.1 and Mezz.1 that I use exclusively these days over everything else I own. 

Enjoy the testing fellas!  You may be pleasantly surprised.  At least I was with the MEZZ, same concept, just not so alien space ship like.  🤣

When you say brick like, would you compare it to something like the double wide putter I’m using now, or something more extreme?
I might be changing my request from the Mezz to the DF2.1 after reading it’s their flagship putter.

I considered an armlock, and really thought hard about a broomstick, as I wanted to try something I’ve never done before.
When I thought about it more, I began to feel that would’ve been, for lack of a better word, unfair. Both to LAB, and the test itself. I tried an armlock putter in a store on Sunday, and it felt incredibly awkward. Same with the broomstick. So I went standard because I didn’t feel I could give a fair review while using a style so different from what I’m used to.

So the last few posts have explained the fitting process we’ve gone through, I’m not going to rehash it again. The big topics amongst us so far in our thread has been how confident any of us are in this process. We were told to use only the online fitting system, and still have no idea whether custom builds will be available to us. We’re basically winging it at this point.
I haven’t heard back from the fitter yet, so I have no idea what he’ll suggest. I’m going to go with it though, because, well, I’ve never touched the putter, so why wouldn’t I? 
I’m going to be completely honest here and say going into this I can’t  imagine anyone buying a $5-700 putter sight unseen based off the recommendations from a 5 second fitting video. When you think about it though, that’s why this is such a great test. Whereas most of you who have tested clubs before we’re fitted in person then reviewed the product, ours is unique in that we’re not only going to test the putter, but evaluate the online fitting system.
I can’t wait to hear back from them and see the specs they suggest. The only request I had was the Mezz as my first choice, however I stressed to them that if they felt the 2.1 was a better choice for me, I’d certainly go along with their opinion.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the past 10 years, I’ve gone from Apex irons to Rogue X to PXG 0311’s and have now just put Cleveland Launcher XL Halos in my bag along with a pair of CBX wedges.
There’s an old song that went “if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife…”
I’ve taken that advice to heart, at least with my golf game. Looks don’t matter. If ugly works, it’s in the bag!!!

That was my plan my plan going in @Berg Ryman! Hopefully it plays out the way I hope after the fitting process. If it’s left up to me, I’d like to go completely off the reservation here, and go with something that I’ve never done before.
My first choice would be the broomstick, then the armlock would be second. Either one of those in a 2.1 head would be a lot of fun to try.

When I ordered my DF 2.1 back in 2020, L.A.B.'s customer service was excellent. Hope you all are getting the same treatment.
My remote fitting turned out slightly more upright (68 degrees) versus the in-person fitting I did with their adjustable putter (66.5 degrees). I'd lean toward to remote fitting being more accurate, actually.
I saw the MEZZ in person a few months ago at Club Champion and it definitely was more "brick-like" than the DF. I'll be curious to see who chooses what and their thoughts.
I really think it's a game changer once you learn to trust the balancing tech.
