 I'll let you know.  Though @bens197 has given me a really good idea of how to give the Link new life -- stroke practice on the birdie ball mat.   If I can keep my hands quiet practicing with the Link the DF2.1 is going to feel like it's on rails.    

Let us know how it goes…I was really surprised at the good habits it created.

So, I’ve decided to give this a try:

I will report back, once it has been received and installed.

Hmmm Pistol and a press.  

I really like the white.  It's tough to keep clean but I have white/black on all my clubs.

If anyone is on the fence there are deals to be had on the LAB facebook group.  Lot's of people tripping over themselves trying to sell older L.A.B. putters to fund a DF3.0.

Can't say I blame them...

I'll admit, after seeing an image of the new DF3, I like the look of the 2.1 better. The 3 is more blocky with sharp edges all around and I find I prefer the smoother edges and rounded back of the 2.1. But we'll see if what I saw is the actual final version of the 3.

Totally fair - by the looks of it, its a bit smaller than the 2.1, which has always been a bit too big for my liking.

That was exactly my thought when I tried the 3 a few days ago.  I really hated the visual transition from what I will call the top line to the oval part of the putter.  The putter feels fine although I like a little more feel and the TPT shaft was very boardy IMO.   I’d probably go MEZZ if I ever return to a LAB.

They're everywhere, and they're already teasing it (got a "something's coming soon" email from them yesterday), but...we're good boys and girls here at MGS, and respect the embargo dates, so ... let Google be your guide

[CFreddie]

Haha, I've seen the pictures floating around - was just hoping for more!  Also, that email was my suspicion as well @GolfSpy SAM 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Not confirmed but I think the release date will be early next week.

For something to do with LAB. New colors? New grips? New headcover? New putter? New wedges? 

Time will tell!

 Looks like the new DF3 is now available!

I think this is what I would order, if there weren't a trip to VA coming up that I was already committed to going to, lol.  I really, REALLY like this way more than I had let myself think about. Sigh.

Have to agree, it looks great! @GolfSpy_APH has turned me on to the cappuccino, so I think I'd go that color with that same alignment option. 

I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it...

I still like the DF2.1 better, for shape and look. The DF3 looks smaller and all that, but it doesn't have the same personality and style for me.

I'm not willing to push the limits that far yet.  She let's me do pretty much whatever but I don't want to find that limit yet either. Ha

Idk @TSauer I think your Link.1 might be getting lonely and needs a friend to keep it company...

The more I keep looking at it, the more tempting it gets. With two LABs in the bag, I get some sort of stat boost or something... right?

Definitely my next putter!

I am pretty sure I will end up with 3 lab putters by the end of the season....

Has to take at least 3 strokes off per round. You’d be scratch in no time!

Great to see Willy Z back in action, and with his Broom LAB no less  Would love to see him get back into fighting shape - kid's just SO good.  Great seeing him and Berger playing together - both having missed significant time over the last 2 years with back issues.
