The L.A.B Golf DF3 putter has created a lot of buzz thanks to its lie angle balance and zero-torque design, but it’s not the only option for golfers who struggle on the greens. The L.A.B Mezz 1 Max broomstick putter also features zero torque and lie angle balance, and it has helped golfers win on the PGA Tour. Let me explain how the Mezz 1 Max broomstick putter works, who it is for and how it comes to a traditional-length L.A.B DF3 putter

Might feel different if it was a 1:1 with DF3 Broomstick vs Mezz. I think the DF3 design is more stable which might change how you felt about it.
It seemed like the putter head was really moving wonky on the backstroke with the broom. I had the same issue when I tried a callaway broomstick.
Hello David, what is your gamer putter?
The original DF 2.1 broom is the best of the LAB range as it’s the most forgiving, but all brooms swallow the arc, offers less parallax with 79* lie angle, and (importantly ) you putt with only one hand/arm (bowling action)
I use a MezzMax broomstick putter. I am more likely to hit the ball on my intended path more accurately with the broomstick than any other putter I've owned (which includes a couple of Scottys, some TM Spiders, an Evnroll, and every other type of LAB putter except the DF3). It does take a lot of commitment to develop a grip and stroke that works for you. I also struggle with pace on long putts, but I have the same problem with standard putters. The advantage with the broomstick is that my misses are closer to the hole. I had an old Ping broomstick that I kept cutting down to find the right length. My son uses the Ping broomstick now. He had real issues with face control with a normal putter. He can keep the face square with his upper hand and set the pace with his lower hand. Separating his hands was a game changer for him.
So you basically putt withe the right hand. That’s a no go for me as I yank putts to the left more often than not. I have to over lay my right hand over my left to take right dominant out of the equation. That’s the only thing that has worked for me.
Totally agree. I'm going to a longer putter because my back can't handle hunching over so much. I'm 6'6" and using even a 36" feels awful. Got fit for a DF3 and I'm at 43.5" and 79.5* lie. Putting with a shorter putter didn't bother me as much during the weekend rounds but rounds after working 8, 9, or 10 hour days…..no thanks. Excellent content. Thanks for sharing.
I have had a Mezz1Max since April. I have had five back surgeries, so I wanted to be as upright as I could be, and feel like I was still able to control the putter face. I'm 6'2" tall, and after much back and forth with Lab (and even a Facebook conversation with L.A.B. owner Sam Hahn) I decided on 50" and 79.5 degree lie angle. I have experimented with many grips and have finally settled on kind of a saw grip. As wi1th all putters and putting techniques, nothing is foolproof, but I feel comfortable with where I am with my stroke now I am anxious to see the new OZ.1i, and may look into getting one when they start doing the sweeper version, but we'll see.
I’m only 5’9. Got fitted for the broomstick and I was much better being in a more vertical setup. Like Bernard Langer .
I was fitted for 44.5 length and 79.5 lie angle.
It’s been awesome making way more putts .
I want to order a LAB broomstick this year. I have a "garage built" broomstick now which I like and used all year. I am split between the Mexx Max or the DF3 head which I can't choose. I can't see both or use both because nobody near me has either one in broomstick so I don't know. I stand tall, so 45" and max upright would be the way to go.
