I have used many different putter brands over the years. I prefer a mallet and I am always looking to improve so unlike most people I change putters at least once a year when the latest and greatest new mallet comes out, so when I saw this putter, I knew I had to give it a try.
The company is L.A.B. Golf, and over the years they have designed some really unique looking putters. The L.A.B. Golf putter I have been testing and using is their DF3, which I had customized by sending a video of myself swinging with my current putter. L.A.B. Golf, prefers for you to get fit for your new putter so you have the exact putter that fits you, and not just something off the shelf which may feel good today but really may not be ideal for you long term.
As far as the uniqueness and features and benefits of the L.A.B. Golf DF3, I will let the company explain what it offers, as they can do it better than I could…
Lie Angle Balance is the new frontier of putting. It has the power to resurrect careers on tour and make putting fun for the rest of us. Scientifically, it just makes more sense.
But designing a Lie Angle Balanced putter? Not so simple. Other companies have the benefit of creating a pretty putter head and then adding in any shaft or grip. We don’t do that.
Lie Angle Balance has to be considered in every aspect of the design. And then each individual L.A.B. Golf putter, including DF3, has to be hand-balanced by a very skilled and highly trained human.
We’ve learned so much over the years building Lie Angle Balanced putters, and it gave us a leg up in the DF3 design. We love every putter we’ve created, but in the past we had to make compromises around looks and sound to make putters Lie Angle Balanced. We didn’t have to do that with DF3.
Through a few important design tricks, we were able to make DF3 perform essentially the same as Directed Force. Like Directed Force, DF3 is “fully automatic.” That means you’re going to get the full experience of DF3 wanting to guide itself on the correct path on the way back and through.
Just like the original, mishits effectively don’t matter. Putts hit on the heel and toe will roll a lot like those hit off the center. There’s just less to think about on the golfer side with DF3. And isn’t that kind of the point in putter design?
I have been using the L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter for about 4 weeks, and it is something special to say the least. Day 1 I was on fire with 7 one-putts. As time when on and I got used to the DF3 which is a center shafted putter which I have never used before it became clear the putter sets up square every time without me having to do anything.
I have been 2-4 putts better on every round since using the L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter. It really has improved my putting and lowered my scores. I also love that you can customize the colors and really everything else on the putter. To be fair, I feel the DF3 is slightly lighter than my other putters I own and have used, however maybe that is just what I needed to sink more putts. I am a huge fan of the L.A.B. Golf DF3, and I don’t see it leaving my golf bag. It performed beyond my expectations, and I am confident every time I stand up to putt that I have a great chance of making every putt.
The company website for their DF3 is, https://labgolf.com/pages/df3-putter, and I highly suggest getting custom fit for your DF3, so it fits you and your putting stroke.
