Nope, these guys didn’t discover the holy grail. To believe that, you’d have to think Scotty Cameron is a moron
I've been using a LAB Direct Force for a year or so now. I really like it – it certainly feels that, when I miss a putt, it's my fault and I can't blame the equipment.
It is expensive, of course, but I justified the outlay to myself with the thought that people seem okay with drivers being £450 plus and I'll be using the putter a whole lot more than my driver (which, to be honest, spends most of its time in disgrace in the boot of my car…).
I have no regrets at all in buying the LAB putter – even with the occasional "branding iron" comments I get. As you say, Andy, the science made sense to me, and it is certainly proving to be effective.
Sounds so simple but aren’t most things once you’ve worked them out ! Should b interesting to see over next 12 months if it becomes as popular as odyssey’s two ball? Time will tell. Then theirs the expense to high handicap golfers?
I use center shafted putters myself but am not interested in this brand whatsoever just from looks and setup alone. I have a Futura 5S and a White Hot (which I’m still waiting to try) and I’m interested in the Evnroll ER5CS with the gravity grip. Whenever I walk into any retailer I see an over abundance of the same things, hardly any center shafted putters. I know some companies make them but you have to order them special so how are you supposed to try them? Salesmen from different stores tell me they have to sell what they receive. I guess they’re not smart enough to order what they think they need and corporate can do all the thinking for them.
Why nothing from the snake oil salesman on his video about Ping Anser and equivalents? Also, as your always so spot on followers noted, does anyone let go of their putter mid stroke?
Reading through the comment l see Adam Scott uses the putter. End of story. He is to putting what Westwood is to short game. And Garcia. So many majors would have been theirs if they were decent in those departments.
Three of the most elegant strikers l have seen…
But then so was the recently deceased daddy of them all. Tom Weikopf. RIP.
Very interesting 👍👍
Adam Scott now uses a Mezz1 putter albeit a broom handle model
I’ve got the branding iron version. Works lovely. Looks iffy.
Hi Andy, was at Formby last Week but sadly missed you. Great review, can you advise did you get the putter online or did you purchase it in the UK. If UK could you advise where I could possibly get my hands on one. Cheers, Mark
I you have the money why not? : ) A putter for me is fell and fundamentals : stance, stroke , tempo and reading the green..
Interesting video Andy. I'll keep watching!
As you say, there are two things to get right, line and pace (as long as you can read greens), and the current thinking is that pace is easiest with a toe-hang putter so I find Lab golf's ad patronising. However the science might be good so I would be interested to know your average number of putts now before Mezz.1 and after about 6 rounds(at the same course). Even this won't prove it because quite often a new thought or putter improves putting and then you go back to as you were!
Rose's axis of eagle is a good one too
Andy, I can't argue with the wonderful results you have so far gained with this putter; if I were you I would use it and enjoy it. But I take issue especially with the gadget in the LAB video that shows the bad points about other putters–I'm not believing it. Take a face-balanced putter, hold it at the end of the grip with your thumb and forefinger, and swing it like a pendulum. The face will stay square with your target line–it doesn't act crazily like that guy is showing. Public Enemy has some wisdom about this: "Don't Believe the Hype."
Putting more than anything else is about confidence, it doesn't matter if its a £450 Scotty or £5 from the bargain bin if you have confidence in it you will hole putts.personally I won't even pick up anyone else's putter as I have e every confidence in my 3 year old Odessy putter
Most important club in the bag, can't wait to try one
Intriguing video. It'd be interesting to see you take putt with this putter and your old gamer, say 20 random putts on a green with each and then compare statistics. If, over those 40 putts, you holed a significantly bigger percentage of putts with the LAB putter, that might say a lot since it'd be the same green on the same day and the same player reading and hitting the putts.
I bought the Directed Force a year ago, hated it, tried to get beyond the looks (which I did) but I just couldn’t line it up, it felt alien with shaft going in behind the face. This version looks nicer mind.
Sergio Garcia was using this putter at the Boston Liv event.
Can I ask what specs your ordered ? or if you did the L.A.B video diagnostics to deliver your specs ? Thanks Are the stock options enough for the average putter ?
Thank you for this review. I don't believe I'll be dropping $500 down on this putter at this time. But you have me thinking, and you gave a great amount of information. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Betinardi do a similar putter and they are known to be expensive! This LAB ones almost £500 and that’s a £100 more! 😳 I ain’t seen a tour pro using it and they would give their right arm to make more putts!
Your videos are always great and very informative! 👌🏼

Okay, you've had 10 days to get 6 rounds in. What are your putting stats from Round 1 through to Round 6 please?
Really enjoyed the review.
If the line is not correct or the speed is not correct then it does not matter about the putter. This putter may take one variable out of the equation. Still need to make a good swing.
Where did you get this putter i can only see their available in us
Isn’t this what Seemore putters have been doing for years?
