It is no secret that L.A.B. Golf has taken off because of multiple wins on the PGA Tour and a greater professional presence overall. Its success in MyGolfSpy testing and the hype around the newly released L.A.B. DF3 has only increased its notoriety. 

What Is L.A.B.? 

L.A.B. stands for Lie Angle Balance. These putters, unlike other putters, are not toe-hang or face balanced. They are balanced to point at the target, meaning no twisting, no struggling to keep the face directed at the target—the putter does this naturally. 

As each golfer is unique in their putting stance and stroke, the fitting process for L.A.B. is crucial. L.A.B. has made this easy by way of their online submission. A simple step-by-step process is sent to L.A.B. and they use this video to dial in your specifications. 

L.A.B. is best known for their big and unique-looking DF 2.1, a putter that has many nicknames and certainly does not appeal to all golfers. This is where the DF3 comes in. 

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

I am unbelievably excited to have the opportunity from the forum and LAB to test the DF3! I've been a fan of their technology and engineering for a while now and it's going to be awesome to put these to the test!

Congratulations to all the testers. Sitting here crying into my coffee that I wasn't selected, but I look forward greatly to reading your results.   

Don't get me wrong, I love my armlock (Cobra Agera). Moving to that putter last year from a traditional putter definitely transformed my putting stats such that my strokes gained compared to those around my handicap is pretty good. In fact of Tee shots, approach, short game and putting, it's the only area where I am gaining strokes on the field, but the broomstick approach intrigues me, as does the zero torque configuration. And the fact that it comes in a new smaller, less garish design while still looking like the original DF is just kinda cool.
