Adam Scott designed this putter after being inspired by a luxury car. And that’s why it looks like a cyber truck took a [Applause] [Music] All right, those ducks are excited because after 48 days of waiting, it is finally here. My first putter in over 20 years because that’s how long it took Lab to release a putter that doesn’t look like a fax machine. Ever since they released the OZ1 Lab is like the nerdy girl in high school who got a nose job in contacts. And that’s exactly why I love this putter because it has a perfect lie. Which is also what I told my wife when she asked me how much it cost. When it comes to shafts, I chose the gears option because this shaft has one of the stiffest tips which helps me stroke my balls into tight cups. I went with the Zenergy Tour 5.0 grip because I use an interlocked prayer grip, which sounds spiritual, but it really just makes my hands look like a tiny butt. It’s like a grip with glutes. The way I could best describe it is that it’s moist but still crispy. I mean, it’s the perfect combination of the soft lab feel that you get with a DF3, but with a crisp feedback, you know, bam. Like right there. I come in here, I feel confident. Everything is supposed to work. If this takes care of all the mechanics and gives you something more consistent and reliable, then you can actually focus on the green reading and other variables. This is just eliminating all these mechanical. Dude, I’m telling you, I love it. I got to get used to the weight of it. This is a lot lighter than my two ball putter. Maybe not choke up as much. Do a little more of that. [Music] It’s that pure feeling right [Music] there. Cutting on turf in the backyard is one thing, but let’s take it to some real grass. Here’s a first date with the OZ one eye. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] For 20 years, I had a putter that had two balls. Now, I found one that’s straight. This one is going straight into the bag, which is a golf version of Will You Move In with Me. [Music]
