Testers Wanted: L.A.B. DF3 Putter

DF3 looks sweet!

Would love to try one of these. Keep the face square thru the swing has been an issue for me as fatigue sets in later in the round.

Dying for this test!!  I practice hard but still struggle to make putts on course. Taking lessons my coach tells me I have excellent mechanics and I am very good at starting the ball on line during practice.  Not translating to the course though.  Wondering if the DF3 might be the missing piece....

Looking forward to this test.  I've been using my Jailbird so a head to head with the two hottest putters on the market right now would be fun!

Oh boy, this test in particular makes me wish I had put more work into making myself an excellent candidate to be a tester.

I'd love to be selected, especially since I think the DF3 could potentially really help my putting (40 putts on Saturday after hitting 7 GIR ), but it's a competitive pool for such a desirable test.

Good luck everyone!

Honestly, I had the same realization about 3 years ago, and it was a great moment for me.  I remember reading the "how to be a tester" guide and thinking "oh...that's actually not THAT much to do. Why haven't I done that already?" and then next year I was picked for my first test (coincidentally, the LAB I'm still gaming).  

I was already lurking on the site, so it just made sense to start getting involved.  And for real - it's been an AWESOME decision.  I've got a whole community here I had no idea was this great - so much so that I'm going to the Outing this year to embarrass myself in public! I mean...that says it all, doesn't it?   

Happy to have you here - definitely keep up the posting - there are some genuinely fun threads to get involved with, and once you do (especially the Good Morning thread or the Club Ho's thread), you'll be checking it every day I think our new slogan should be something like, "MyGolfSpy Forum: it's like meth, but safer. Not less expensive, mind you, but...your teeth mostly stay in place." It's a bit wordy - I'll try and run that by our HR team. lol

this is the one I've been waiting for.  
My current face-balanced, 0° toe hang Triple wide Odyssey  is working great thus far but I really would love to put a LAB against it.  I was fitted by Club Champion for this particular face-balanced putter because of my natural straight swing.  I wish they had a LAB at the time because I feel it might have suited me better.  Hopefully I get the opportunity now.  

my partner is currently using my seemore mfgp2 and would love to try the df3, as she like the looks of the new df better than my df2.1. if selected we’ll document her experience with the df3 from a “frustrated novice putter” perspective.

My 2000 sqft putting green just told me, “challenge accepted Sir LipOut!”

I play a Scotty Newport 2, and my miss is a slight push. Played with different weights, but keep getting drawn back to original specs for feel. 
 

Would love to test if this helps keep the face square consistently.
 

 

 

My name is Ash and I'm a putterholic.  It has been more than 12 months since my last putter purchase, and so doing really well, but the DF3 is tempting me off the wagon.

Well said. All of it…well maybe not the meth part

But seriously, my (completely unsolicited) advice - find a couple threads and just contribute (especially the ultimate “cheat code” thread - Good Morning).  Welcome to everyone that found MGS through this testing opportunity!

Fitted for a Newport 2.5 last year and putting has been terrible ever since (probably user error). Have been hearing good things about LAB a lot recently and want to see if the hype is real. Really would like something that gives me confidence while standing over the ball.

Would really like to do a deep dive on chronicling the testing of this putter to see what all the hype is about.  It would be a complete departure in my putting makeup, since I’ve used a blade all my life.  But the industry and trends have certainly changed over the past 10 years or so.  Really interested in putting this putter through its  paces.

I have always wanted to try a L.A.B. Putter and this would be a great time to start.

This is awesome! Would love the opportunity to compare this to my DF 2.1. Look forward to the reviews!

Would love to put this against my current gamer and see if I can find a shot or two

AS long as LEFTY model is available, id LOVE to review L.A.B. putter

It will be interesting the LAB DF putter is a mighty biggun, might need a new bag to fit it in.

Been reading all of the internet reviews for the DF3 and would love to do a side by side against my PXG Gunboat. Putting has always been a weakness of mine so hopefully 2024 will be an opportunity to replace my gamer with something that will help smooth my stroke. 

I used to have an Odyssey Rosie but my ex-wife for some reason can remember where my whole golf set is or was...friends say deep in the river now.  lol

I now use a blade and want something else...never had a fitting of any type. 

Would like to be a tester but good luck to everyone. 

I stopped signing up for the things I didn’t think I was a good fit for, but this would be an awesome opportunity. I’m currently trying to unofficially trying the Stargrips and I’m seeing the testing process is not as easy as just getting free stuff but I would love the challenge for this one!!!

Thanks for the opportunity! I'd love to try a L.A.B.  Putter

I would love to test this out on Melbourne's famous sandbelt golf courses.  I've been following L.A.B putters ever since Adam Scott switched from his Scotty Cameron.  I'd be able to compare it to my Scotty Cameron Phantom 11.5

The tests are a ton of work, if you really think about it, you’re testing for about 2 seasons, regardless of product. 
 

Keep at it and be active, it will happen!

It's smaller than the 2.1, which fits (barely) in my 14-way, so the 3.0 being significantly smaller should be no issue at all.
