L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn shares two putting “feels” he like to practice to ensure his path and plane stay consistent.
These tips are different from most of the other putting tips you’ve heard that tend to be focused on returning the putter face to square.
As Sam says, “I work really hard to keep my focus off the face, because the idea is the tech is taking care of the face for you.”
Give these feels a shot… and enjoy the power of Lie Angle Balance!

Great tip, Sam! The L.A.B. putter keeping my face square has made my green reading so much better and allowed me to focus on plane and path. This tip will help with that.
Mr. Hahn. I currently have an arm lock with the "SIK" head. I am looking very strongly at your broomstick and tend to lean to the MEZZ type of head, but also wonder about the new DF3? Thoughts? All the best to you and yours George
👍
Loving my DF3, thanks for the tips.
Great tip, Sam!
gouda is one of my favs
Sam, this is a great tip! As a person who struggled with swing plane a little bit, this is a great way for me to visualize me being on plane with my putts! I can’t wait to try this drill when I get back from my vacation.
I’ve just been fitted and purchased the exact putter and I’m struggling with it tbh but actually love the feeling
The Scorecard is a great tip. My miss comes from rotating the face with my hands, this tip will help it stay square!
I’ll be buried with my LAB.
Sam, I'm changing the feel name to "Cutting the Cheese"? LOL
How about more video tips for we golfers that use the LAB Broomstick putter. Love the weapon!
Am I missing something surely slicing the cheese feel is a downward force??
How does that help with putting??
This is helpful
Sam makes a great point here. My putting improved considerably when I started being intentional about watching the ball. I used to let myself get caught up in watching my putter takeaway. Big difference!
Another thing that poor short putters have is that they have no concept that there is a difference between the putter blade rotating relative to the target, and staying perpendicular (unrotated) to the path plane (your scorecard). They confuse opening and closing relative to the target but not rotating relative to the perpendicularity with the path plane. They see one and not realize the need for the other. They see the blade opening and closing to the target but do not realize the blade CANNOT rotate relative to the path plane. This is very easy to prove and newer training devices do. It can also be proven with a square putter shaft running on a stair step above the step where the ball is rolling. Get set for a shocker ! What you see is rotation with no rotation.
I never had issues with a wobbly backswing which is my issue with my new lab.( had it for a couple of weeks now). The other issue I’m having (that i never had with my SC is getting the ball to the hole. It seems I’m short more than before…
I really like the feel at contact, hope i can resolve my issues.,…ugh
Sam I don’t know if you answer questions here on you tube, but I’m trying to figure out the arc stroke with the mez. Is the lab putters more efficient one way or the other between an arc stroke vs a sbst stroke?
I am finding a more wristy, arc stroke like with a toe flow putter is the feeling I like with the mez but I’m not positive that’s the best use of the putter. Can you point me to a video where you address this or maybe provide some insight??
Thanks!
How many likes to get a DF3?! 😊
I love that scorecard tip. Thanks
Hey Sam , I recently purchased a df3 with pistol grip . I forward press as a trigger I seem to have a bit of an issue with consistency . Should I not toward press with this putter ? Coming from an evenroll er10 .
picked up a stock Mezz max. this is my first "big boy" putter. Very excited
