Testers Wanted: L.A.B. DF3 Putter

I'm an Evnroll guy but have been very interested in trying the L.A.B. putters.

This is a special one! I would love to see this thing kick my Scotty out of my bag. BOL

The L.A.B. putter and it's tech looks so intriguing! Putting has always been a weakness of mine.  I have always preferred the look of a blade but would love the balance/forgiveness of the mallet. I switched to the Evnroll ER 2.2 a few years back when mygolfspy first released the test results, and I am no longer terrified to stand over top a putt that is worth a few bucks.   I am curious to see if the balance of the L.A.B. putters take out even more variables to take me to that next level.

I consider myself a great putter but have found myself tinkering at the store with a df3 the last couple weeks and emailing LAB about; great customer service by the way! I’ve got an upcoming trip to the UK that I would love to put the df3 in the bag for. What a great opportunity for the winners and thank you for offering!

This looks like a fun one!

I hope I get the chance. The competitive juniors I teach are very interested in seeing L.A.B putters up close. 

Count me in!

I catch so many jokes because of the size of my DF2.1. A league member even started a complaint that I was using an illegal putter … it’s not. But I would like to try the 3.1 because I have a problem focussing on the large 2.1 head instead of the ball … I guess trying to achieve center hits … which isn’t necessary because of the moi of the ENTIRE face. Point is, I tend to over hit the 2.1 and would love to see if a smaller version of the same putter would make a difference. Whether I get this review or not, people are gonna love LAB putters. 

I've admired these putters for a couple of years now.  Never seen one and would absolutely love to try one, be the envy of my golf league, LOL.  Like the centre line shaft similar to my Odyssey Backstroke.

Seems to be a social media darling (at least with RGC).  Would be great to see how it performs on the very early season Canadian greens.

Exciting! I’ve been gaming the DF 2.1 armlock, but I’m wondering if the lie angle balance technology works better with either the traditional or broomstick method because you’re allowing the club to do more of the work than “locking in” to my forearm. All the best to everyone! I know there will be a lot to sign up for this!

I hope I’m selected for this one! I’ve tried a L.A.B putter before and loved it. I’d have one already if they weren’t so expensive! 

Can't wait to try this!

 

Interesting design. I tried one out at PGA Superstore and while it takes a bit to get used to it, it is very consistent in results.

As a very long time Ping Anser 2 user, if I ever switched something like this would perk my interest. 

Excited for everyone involved. I would enter but I am already a LAB golf user! I have had my DF 2.1 for two years now and love it. I would expect most people will love theirs after they get over the "un-torquing" period. It took me about a month to let the putter work and get used to lining up a mallet. But I am also stubborn!

Looks very interesting. Know these putters have been popping up frequently. 

 

I would love the opportunity to test this beast. I could care less what people say about the looks, I just want to make more putts!

LAB office is no that far from where I live...  If selected I would see about going there for a fitting.

 

Having used an off the rack DF 2.1 for a couple of seasons now (it's come out of the bag a few times), I was thinking the Link.1 was going to be perfect for me.  So I did an official fitting, aaand it wasn't.  I'm hopeful the DF3 is going to be "the one".  Regarding the 2.1, I can't say enough great things about the technology and how good the putter is, but as many have stated (here and elsewhere), adapting to slower greens is tough, and once you start getting your hands involved, all of the benefits of the lie angle balanced are lost.  Candidly, I struggle with any putter when the greens slow down, but anything around face balanced (i.e. minimal toe flow) is more difficult for me in this case. 

Also I've heard people remark they tend to pull putts with this, and that is totally a symptom of using your hands or having the wrong ball position (usually too far back believe it or not, because with the onset, you subconsciously try and square it early with your hands).  In any case, this is a great video from LAB anyone selected should watch (and there are a bunch of others on their channel):  

 

Love their concept of fitting the putter to your stroke remotely!

Would love to try one of these properly. Drove 3 hours to get fitted last week for one inside and it felt great but would love to see how it does on the course. 

My initial take on this putter was of a visual nature. I can’t let folks catch me with this in my bag. After trying one in a PGA Superstore while on vacation a month ago, my mind was changed. I tested the previous model. The gripping method takes a minute to catch on, but when it did, the putter naturally makes a smooth sweeping motion.

Gaming a Mezz Max that I did the video fitting on.  38 inches at 78 degrees.  I am upright when I putt.  Love the putter, but the one flaw is that it does not pick up the ball.  When the DF3 was released and it can pick up the ball, I knew I wanted one.  I am in WA so next time I go south I planned on doing an in person fitting at LAB HQ.  This would be a great opportunity to try the DF3.  LAB putters are amazing.  I have improved in every putting category.  Major improvements inside 15 feet.

I want to try one! I currently game PXG Operator gen2 since it came out. I would say putting is the best part of my game but definitely love to try. I could get sams ball data as well as on course.
