L.A.B. Putters Review 

Greetings from the home club of Sam H and LAB putters! As you might guess, about half the guys in men's club here are using the putter. I've been using mine for 18 months and can't even go back to anything else. It's a huge reason why I'm a 2 and not a 4 or 5 handicap haha. I've always wanted to get that thing on the quintic to see how it rolls so this was a special treat. Thanks guys.

Been using one for 6 months. Awesome piece of kit 👍👍👍👍👍

Many golfers will buy into this idea . I will try these clubs, the fitting process means you must be in you most comfortable position .great review, thanks for your efforts.

I recently purchased a LAB putter and Love it. Incredibly consistent. Well worth the ball busting from my buddies the first few weeks. Not a word from them now...

Another great master class and insights from the Professor. Unique looking putter, but you can't argue with the results even if Matt is putting right handed.

Easiest putter I have ever hit. So easy to repeat your stroke and take your mind out of this stroke and put it visualizing the ball going into the hole. I have Scotty's, Odyssey and Spiders that I have rotated through over the last few years....and this is BY FAR the most stable and consistent of them. I think that one of the areas the video missed is the 'feel' of the ball off the face. Some faces feel too soft, while others feel heavy to me. This one feels 'smooth'...not necessarily quantifiable, but for me it is important. I was worried that they would miss the unique forward press grip. Glad they didn't. I have always wondered if my 'normal' press is really consistent. It is BY FAR the part of the stroke that offers the greatest variable, and variables in putting is NEvER good. I think their approach in putting your hands in the same spot each and every stroke is brilliant. Great review!

Great video. Good to see them getting some attention. Best putter technology on the market for sure.

I decided to carry and fit the L.A.B. golf putters after seeing it for the first time and pretty much having the same results as Matt. It's crazy how easy it is to start the ball rolling and in the right direction. I couldn't get in fast enough actually. This putter is the real deal.

I've been thinking about checking these out and this review sold me on it. Thanks for the great content as usual!

Axis 1 Rose review would be awesome!!! love the content guys

Look at the bright side: if you have a bad day on the course with it, you can also use it as a bottle opener.

Thanks Guys, I will certainly consider testing this putter

Nice seeing Matt putting right handed for a change. I play right and putt left to counteract the yips

You guys sealed the deal when I was looking for a new putter. Just got my LAB putter 6/16/20 and played 1 round so far. Putts seems to roll on my chosen line, but I still need to learn the speed of the greens. Great review as always.

Putters are so interesting. I have a really thin grip. Definitely toe heavy . Yet I putt really well. I think it’s really a personal thing of feel and appearance that promotes confidence. The custom fit lie and length tool is quite cool though.

It would be great for the next step in a putter review like this to try it on a real green to see if it rolls and feels as good as inside

One of the best putters I've ever owned!

Made every putt ! Immediate Lie Angle improvement with LAB putter which will allow for a more consistent stroke. Starship head loves to go back and through easily. Good overall analysis and review. Get fitted. Invest. Improve both grip & stroke. Practice. Fall in love with putting ..... o ___ ! As for the cost, the putter is the most used in the bag - 28-38 strokes per round (100% more than driver); the driver may get used 14 times and we easily spend $300-$500 for one every year or so.

Can you guys do a review on the blade version made by the same guys

Nothing makes coffee more bitter in the morning then seeing Matty on the dark side. Obviously as this video illustrates an amazing amount of information being processed during a fit not just putter, how does TXG accommodate that in the tour experience fit? How does TXG continue to adjust the experience from client feedback? Sorry for the off the wall question. Great video👍 Love the conversations that get going between Mr. Fraser and Mr. Blois.

Nice putter. I live in Reno and I got the chance to purchase one. Give the putter a try.

Would love to see a new video with the Mezz.1 and Link.1 models! Love the idea of LAB putters and the newer models are much more appealing to the eye.

I just pulled the trigger on this. My buddy must have stocks in this company because he's been selling it hard. His results speak for themselves so I'm stoked to get it.

Interesting adjustable design features, well explained (as always). Impressive righty putting Matt.👍 On course trial to see how it handles "real" conditions?

You guys should go to a mini golf course and review a putter and act 100% serious. Maybe for April fools day.

Can’t wait for Monday mizuno mp20 review day

THE BEST putter I have ever owned ! Gets the ball to rattle in the bottom of the cup in far fewer strokes compared to anything else I have ever tried.

Hi, I have been following this putter for a number of years and during that period have tried the normal glut of putters on the market with mixed success. I have found an authorised L.A.B. fitter in the UK and intend to visit them once UK lock down is over in early December. Whilst I have been playing golf in the UK for over 30 years I have only once been fitted and that was for a driver which has remained in my bag for 3.5 years now (world record for me). Therefore the next club i buy will be a fitted putter and this looks a go. Your posting really helped me in making that decision, it was both informative and easy to understand so props for you there. Can you advise since you made this posting last year what has been the general response and success rate in fitting the DF for golfers who have visited you. I would be interested to hear from you. Thanks, Mark.

This putter is a game changer! I’m curious how they have sold at the shop? Considering they don’t look amazing.

Hi Ian I reckon I will have one coming home with me in October 😄🇮🇪

Lord knows this putter is heaven sent!! 😫😫 first time using it had three 1 putts in a row. 2nd week had another couple 1 putts. 3rd week guys we saying, "damn that man can putt!" The fact of the matter is I suck at putting. This putter HOLDS A LINE LIKE NO OTHER!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I Cannot see me ever using anything else. I loveeee the soft buttery feel the ball comes off the face with!

Damn good putting Matty. Let us know how it goes if you putt righty for a stint. I’m a lefty with the same battles

I have one, it’s nice. Feels very hollow at impact and makes a ting* sound when striking the ball. Otherwise, helped me get my putting going in the right direction.

All these Futuristic Tools to help you play better golf. Imagine, they won tournaments way way back in the day like the 1800s all from feel... The golfers back in the day didn't have perfect swings, they didn't do all the things we do nowadays and they still played better golf than most. The Professional Golfers of yesteryear were incredibly in tune with their games. With inferior equipment & no gizmos to help. Just puts it into perspective. They had to be incredible, they had no help.

I’d like to see Matt testing righty to get him closer to us mere mortals. Nvm he’s amazing at both.

This was very interesting indeed. I have been interested in center shaft putters for years and I know that’s not the full story with lab putters but anyway. Correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to recall from a putter fitting video with Ian and Matt, that Ian wasn’t too keen about center shafted putters? I would love to get one of these lab putters but wooh the price!

Yes! Been looking at these since they came out a couple years ago.

Would be awesome if you guys could do a putter review for Seemore Putters

They also make a blade style putter. Would love to see if it still gives the same results in the more eye-pleasing design.

I would like to see the Blad review

Had one a couple years ago that I was professionally fitted for by a fitter in NYC along with a putting lesson. Firstly, the camera may distort things a bit but the thing is beyond HUGE! Ive used a number of oversized putters but this one was crazy level big. Never loved the sound and feel off the face and I just never felt comfortable with the putter. Cost me quite a bit of coin and then sold it just weeks later at about half the price on eBay. Unfortunate because I really wanted to make this putter work. Just as an aside, there was also some weird back and forth between father and son who owned the company and some falling out between them to the point where it distracted from any goodness that may have existed around the putter. Hope all that got cleared up.

Time to test the Axis1 Rose!

Review Tommy Armour number 3 please. 2 years in a row Golf Spy top mallet and it’s under $100!!

Drives it a mile and puts like a demon. What’s missing Mattie boy😂😂😂😂most enjoyable

Another great video. After watching this and realizing it is more about the face angle at impact, What is the effect of taking the factory grip off and changing it? If the new grip is not applied perfectly straight to the face, how much does that affect your putting. I have always installed new putter grips using a level on the face and a level on the grip to try and get them to be 90 degrees apart. It works for me but my thought on this may be incorrect.

I want one!!!

I've seen a lot more people with Axis1 putters like JRose. Any thoughts on that or have has contact been made for testing?

Was Matt making a short joke at Ian's expense? Ian: it goes all the way up to 45" Matt: Yes chin height on you!

Bought one and had 27 putts first time out.....also 3 long misses were tracking centre cup but just pulled up short.......omg bye bye Scotty.

Sounds like a great idea, just can not get past the look...for me anyway. would like to try one someday.

How does this do on mishits on the toe or heel? Does it cause the club to twist since it rotates so freely?

Damn matt I totally forgot you were left handed until the end of this video lol.. also when I first saw you with those nikes I bought the same pair on eBay unfortunately I think they are the most uncomfortable shoe ever 😑

Still the best putter I’ve ever hit. On my second one. Keeps getting better. It’s like the Tony Stark of putters

Would be cool if they had a trigger in the grip you pull to release the head and let it swivel on the shaft, you place it flat on the ground and release the trigger then the lie angle is always flat every time you set up to the ball.

Did you test the different shafts they offer and the benefits for each shaft? There most expensive putter is close to $950 but you can buy one for one right around $395, with the biggest difference being in the shaft?

Very interesting. Head weight? Options on head weight? Counter weight in grip options?

I’m not a scientist or a club-fitter, but, these roll numbers look pretty good for the LAB. :) LOL Start of Forward Rotation: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 Zero Skid after: 14.2, 15, 15, 15, 17 Better than the first putter (Oddessy?...doesn't matter, really). With less torque. And added confidence due to the size of the club head. What’s not to love about this putter? P.S. I’m an early adopter of this technology and have been rolling this putter for years. P.P.S. If the numbers indicate that you're hitting down on the ball, consider moving the ball slightly forward in your stance. I wouldn't ever dream of offering putting swing advice especially to experts like y'all. However, that slight adjustment can make a difference when using the Presse Grip. :)

I tried a Center Shafted Never Compromise many years ago and the shaft meeting at the alignment line and the top of the putter / face screwed with my eyes so much I had to scrape the idea of a Center shafted putter. add the ball and I was all screwed up

Would a stability shaft be good for this putter? They sell them on their website paired. Thank you.

I'd love to see this putter tested on a mid to high handicapper but against some other name brands. But dont tell them anything about any of the putters. Just let them hit a few with each. Get honest reactions from 12+ handicappers, even some 20+ folks.

As someone who gravitates to a face balance putter and leaves putts out to the right as a righty would you recommend this to try?

lab has a Blade model, could you test it/video.

Gee thanks Guys, Friday night on a Bank Holiday Weekend here in the UK and my mind is now Buzzing with questions; How does Matty manage to Putt the wrong way round better than I can the right way? HTF did someone manage to design a Putter that looks so damn weird? Will it work for me and get I get them in the UK? (Never heard of LAB Putters before) But most of all I'm worried about that lady on the phone in the Lobby, is she OK and did she manage to place Matty's MacBurger lunch order?

What about armlock putters? Future video?

Was DJ using this putter at the 2020 Masters?

I thought the lie angle balancing was done with weights after the lie was chosen by the consumer. How can you adjust the length and lie with that tool and still have it be balanced?

Question: If something is 100% lie balanced like this, won't anything struck off center produce huge deviations in starting line? This seemed to be much of the reason Ian doesn't like center shafted putters. How similar is this to Edel torque balance putters?

What would be your thoughts about this putter with a stability shaft?

Doesn’t the forward press grip remove the neutrality of the whole concept, and introduce some inbalance ?

lab vs axis rose putter???

Does TXG offer fitting for L.A.B putters?

The lady on her phone in the background cracks me up. She must of been out there for hours.

Spaceships on a stick!

Shouldn’t lie angle be dictated by the stance in which the player’s eyes “see a straight putt”?

You know you have a good job in life when you are essentially spending your entire day tinkering with toys. Mildy jealous lol. Interesting vid and info guys :)

where are you guys located? There is no fitting places like you anywhere near me.

Thought you weren't a fan of centre shaft putters?

how would one fit for a brromstick putter?

Camera should be above the hole next time

Lots of interesting features, but think that it looks like it could be a great bottle opener may be the best. Further testing needed.

How much are lab putters

What surprises me most is that putters aren't all balanced and stable. What are you paying for exactly?

Unless the rules have changed in the newest rule book the most upright lie angle allowed in a conforming putter is 80 degrees. Wouldn't this putter in the wrong hands encourage play with a non-conforming club.

Love the idea and technology but hate the look and the price tag.

How does this compare to the Seemore’s face balanced to plane models?

Is this similar to the taylormade spider?

There are a million putters out there. Practice long enough with an NHS walking stick and you will be good.

I liked mine but it’s too heavy for my stock. Anyway I can remove some weight?

Does putting an oversized putter grip on this putter effect performance?

Fascinating video but a butt ugly putter I would game it if it made a difference though Could you do a review on happy Gilmore’s putter please 😂

the cool thing about this is i know the owner and went to school with his daughter

Just found this vid i think pete finch is using one very well.looks like Ian has oiled up his gun.s

thats scary putter shape

Axis1 vs LAB putters

where are they available?

So Matt gets sick of missing putts on the right side, so switches to right handed putting - and misses on the right side!!

That woman on the phone looks very concerned. I hope she's ok

I'm gonna putt right handed for the purpose of the video... Haha. If he starts hitting driver right handed at 120 imma gonna 2alk away from my own game

That putter is so easy to stroke it should be illegal.

you have to order it no retail carry's it and if you order what you think you want and you don't like they won't refund all your money you end up paying them 150.00 to try there putter not a company thats confident in what they make
