Popular Post GolfSpy MPR Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Right now, how would L.A.B. generalize about the strengths and weaknesses of each of their headshapes?

Fongle Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I'd love to know how the original, spaceship-esque design came about.

JRDuck40 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Love the lineup and the customization options. My biggest qualm is the final cost. I know, I know, but north of $500 for a flat stick is a little insane. Are they looking at lower cost of entry options? I would be highly interested around $300 to $400. Plus that would equate to only a few nights on the couch versus a full car payment. cksurfdude 1 Quote D- Titleist TSR2 w Mitsubishi Tensei 50g Stiff 5w - Titleist TSI w/ Mitsubishi Tensei 65g Stiff HYB - Titleist TSi 21* w/ Mitsubishi Diamana 65g Stiff Irons - 4-PW Takomo 101T w/ KBS Tour Stiff Wedges - Cleveland RTX ZipCore 52/10 56/12 60/8 w/ TrueTemper T100 Putter - Scotty Cameron Select GoLo S Ball - Sirxon Z Star XV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
