Andy good vid mate it appears now these tyoes of putters are appearing more and more…my issue mate is i hate centre shafted putters and mallets😂 i use an evenroll 2.1 anser style and enjoy it …would be interesting to test them but like i said mate its the centre shaft i cant stand 🤷 the fwd press must be odd for most golfers
249 is decent if you want to give one a go 👌
Andy …its the old addage …£500 on a driver use it 12 times …putter most golfers 32 putts ….we as golfers are a funny bunch 😂😂🤷
Got my DF3 and I’d imagine the Oz is similar. Really made a huge difference in my putting. I feel like I can make most of my putts or be able to lag one to tap in range. It may be the placebo effect or not but I’m excited to be putting as I feel that I have a big leg up against my playing buddies.
A revealer?
Softer, but also faster off the face? I would have thought that the Oz with the insert would feel a little harder.
I tried both the DF3 and Square to Square and liked both for the reduced torque they had. And there is significant price differences with the Square being more in my budget. But the Square just felt too light to me and I felt like I had to hit harder on longer distances. The DF3 felt heavier in my hands but I was able to lag putt with less effort. Fortunately I found a DF3, used, for $325 and purchased it. But it had a reverse taper grip on it which I liked on my Odyssey Eleven but not so much on the DF3. Replaced with the Lab 3 degree press grip and am very happy with it.
Thanks for your review of these and the comparison. It’s so good to have options and choices available. I think the Square to Square is going to be a huge success because of the price and different heads, but maybe could be a little heavier.
I do value your opinion, thanks for sharing it.
I’ve been struggling with pace control on the greens for a while. Got the square to square jailbird and I’ve dropped my 3 putts dramatically. It definitely helps me a lot with face control
I've bought the jailbird one. Just having to get used to how much slower it feels off the face than my Scotty select. Leaving a lot of long putts short. Working out forward press taking some time as well
Hi Andy, I purchased the LAB DF3 last January. All I can tell you about my experience is, it took 3 months to get used to and when I did it transformed my consistency on the greens. I read greens pretty well but always found distance control an issue with a 2 way miss, often leaving a 25' foot putt 6 feet short or blasting it 8 feet passed. With the LAB, my lag putting from 30 feet and inside is fantastic and the bonus is I make 8 outta 10 inside 8 feet. This has reduced my handicap over the season by 3.4 shots and I consider the LAB to be the best money I've spent on golf. I'm aware the club itself is not a magic wand but the feeling of confidence once I had a few good rounds with it grew and grew which created trust in the club. Now I consider myself a good putter where, prior to LAB I always considered myself a very inconsistent putter. Great Vid 👍
Where’s the weight on screen!
Hi Andy, great video and as you say it’s an informative video and your own opinion.
I have just taken delivery of a DF3 and I’m old enough and wise enough to know that it’s not a magic wand but what I hope it does for me is give me more consistency over the rounds. LAB Golf in my opinion seems to all about this zero torque and from what I’ve tested the product is very good. Callaway square to square is an excellent product also but just not for me but it will definitely help some others. We need to pay more attention on our putters because it’s the most used club in the bag. We think nothing of spending £4/500 on a driver and then any putter will do but it’s the club that can save most shots. Keep em videos coming 🤙
“Average golfer”
…..$900 putter, sir. No average golfer has, or even wants a LAB putter.
I’m on the fence for my next purchase between driver and putter. Love the LAB concept, tried one and loved the feel. But, I’m not terrible with my 15 year old Newport. There’s arguably more upside replacing my 10 year old Driver with something more forgiving.
Wouldnt call this a great test
My current putter is a £28 original Ping B60.
I could putt in those days (a bit, anyway) so I blew the budget on a placebo… 😁👍
Going with LAB putter. Callaway square to square are RH only.
Andy, if price wasn’t a determining factor, in your opinion is the Lab DF3 the best putter for a mid-high handicap golfer?
The LAB is worth every penny… Did you try the OZ1 without the insert model… I found it to feel just like the df3 ..
Agree putter should have greater consideration for players . . . . I bought LAB DF3 after a bespoke fitting and love it . . . . I am now having to explain your lunacy at suggesting that buying new kit does not improve your game . . . Write that stuff down, never, never say it out loud as sometimes the wife listens
