  I kind of love the hell out of this thing - old meets new, Karsten meets LAB.  

Thoughts?  $750 is steep for the first-run - but I gotta say, having putted with the DF 2.1 all summer - could be very easily "worth" it.

For now - the "stock" one will be configurable come January.  I may or may not have a little inside info - apparently the website just crashed with the traffic, lol - but the $750 includes the upgraded Accra shaft (normally $100 upcharge), so it's not AS expensive as it might seem - plus it's a first run, so it's always a little more pricey.

I would assume, as with all their models, LH is available after this initial run.

I also have a DF 2.1 but prior to that had putted with anser style putters my entire life. Never really liked mallets and only got the DF 2.1 because I liked the tech. If I could get a LINK.1 for $350-400 I would do it right now sight unseen. $750 is....outside of my price range.

For sure - again, this is a first-run product (serialized 1-500, upgraded shaft, etc.).  Stock options (available in January) were quoted to me as being "a hell of a lot cheaper than $750" - my only issue with the stock offerings is that my lie angle is 65, and usually the stock comes in 67/69/71 or something along those lines, so it'd be a bit of a crap-shoot to order the 67.  I absolutely love how this looks, though - maybe a little more upright would work for me, lol...(don't mind me, just changing my whole set-up just to get this putter. See you in 3 months)

I wasn't too sure when I saw the cavity view that has been floating around online for a few days now, but that topline view on the website is super clean! I just got my remote fitting results yesterday. I was leaning Mezz Max, but I might have to wait until January now.

Also just noticed that it does not require a press grip! It is basically my old seemore putter but Lie Angle Balanced.

I like how Sam's decided to offer the Garsen quad as an option.  I put a Garsen Max on my MEZZ and the setup completely changed how I putt.  It's so simple but fascinating how the rotation of your arms create a change in your arc...

Garsen grip was an option on the BLAD so offering it on the link isn't a new thing.
