LAB Golf DF3 putter review & Mezz comparison 

I have a Mezz 1 putters with a 1.5 press grip. It has literally changed my golf game on the greens. Do I hole every putt....no. But the confidence I now have is stupid crazy. I fully expect every putt to (at minimum) to be online. I honestly that yet to 3 putt with it, which is huge in my shabby game. I never would have thought that buying such an expensive putter would make such a difference....but it has. Love my Mezz putter! I highly..highly suggest at least giving the LAB putters a look. It would be well worth your time and money. Thank you LAB!!!

My putting is the weakest part of my game so I tried the LAB putters and felt they were much more stable than my two ball. I almost pulled the trigger on a mezz max but still didn’t love the fang look so I chose the DF3 at the last minute in red. Arrived yesterday and I love it. Thanks for the great content.

Great video, especially starting with explaining that if you are lousy at reading the putt, the LAB will not help you improve. Since my biggest putting weakness was face control of the putter, I took a leap of faith last year on a Mezz.Max (can't physically try one here in NL), and haven't looked back at any of the high MOI putters I used over the years, swearing at yet another ball rolling in a direction I didn't want it to go. Those days are gone. Yes, they are very expensive, but so are drivers these days (arguably more ridiculously so) and I rather spend the money on a scoring club.

AMAZING PUTTERS! I've used putters from Scotty, Pings, Odyssey , Taylormade and so on.... these are the best. Nearly automatic. Bought the Mezz Max and was so impressed, I also ordered the DF3. LOVE, LOVE, this putter.

Did you find any difference in terms of the stability or stroke between the Mezz and the DF3?

Great perspective from Andy and yes its way too expensive to tempt me

Great video, and I am headed to go buy one now! BTW, what brand is that camo hoody you are wearing?

I’m currently using the Odyssey 7, looking at trying the Mezz. Besides face balance, what’s the big difference?

Thanks for the info. Good to know what's out there for those of us struggling with the putter.

I’ve long been intrigued by Lab Golf putters. The video fitting support they offer sounds like a good way to get into the correct putter. Given the cost of all new equipment I’m honestly put off by the price. I’d suspect folks don’t balk as much at Cameron pricing because of the Cameron marketing. I can say that the reviews from you and the those at My Golf Spy and on their forum further lend support to putting Lab Golf into the mix when considering a new putter. As always well done Andy.

I have the mezz2 and love it. I don’t plan of changing putters for a long time so amortized over time the cost will work itself out IMO.

I’m gaming a mezz.1 with the Accra shaft and pistol 2.0 grip, and so far, it’s been working out good. I’m just having serious FOMO on the DF3.😅

Because of your videos previously, I took the risk and bought a mezz.1 last year with no physical fitting (pureputt studio did a virtual fitting, he is a genius) and I will never look back. Incredible putters that do the work for you if you let it. Now that there is more fitters in the UK it is worth your time to try them out and definitely worth the money. Would never have bought it without your vids Andy

Just sent in my Remote Fitting Request video to L.A.B last night. Waiting for my results! GREAT video!

I can attest to how fantastic these putters from LAB are. I have the Mezz1, and i quite simply have never putted better. It was also a difficult choice to choose which LAB putter was best for me. They are all good. I'm so pleased you made this, Andy. Cheers.

Andy is it replacing your Mez? I would like to test drive one of these sometime because the concept is intriguing.🤔

Ordered one yesterday. Can’t wait to

Can't wait to buy one on eBay in 10 years

I have a 2.1 and am really keen to try this. I am totally convinced that LAB putters do help you putt better. Yes, nothing can help you read a putt better but it definitely helps deliver a square club face and we all know that that is the battle in golf! No fitters close to me Andy - have you tried the remote fitting service? Anyone? Bueller?

Nice comparison graphics Andy, very professional

Hi where in uK can you get best online deals for irons and driver shafts..thanks.

Hi Andy, I have a LAB Mezz Max broomstick on order. Never tried one but buy into the theory. I am super excited to try and learn a different style of putting

Hi Andy, loved your videos! Within the next three months I’m definitely going to buy a lab putter. Until today I was convinced it was going to be the Mezz., now, I’m not so sure! I’ll be watching your videos to see if you stick with the new one or if you go back to the Mezz!

Been using my DF2.1 and loving it. Doesn't seem weird to me at all. I bought it for $250 2 years ago at a PGA Superstore. It was a trade-in that had never been used. I guess the fit works for me. I'm far from a snob as I also use Halo XL irons and the large Max ball. I'll take any advantage tech will give me! Going for a fitting soon for a new lightweight driver to fill out my bag.

In the unlikely event that I buy another Putter, I would undoubtedly go for the LAB DF3, that T-bar alignment aid and forward shaft lean would be exactly what I would need👍👍

What happens if you change the grip? If they are all hand balanced does the balance "go off" if you replace the grip? I presume if you have gone for a press grip it's not going to work as well if you change to a non-press grip too. The putters I've seen coming for sale second hand suggest the black and white grips wear quite badly (certainly the white discolours).

I thought I seen your matte black van coming out of Wallasey golf club, been wondering what the video was going to be

How would you say distance control compared on lag putting with the DF3 vs Mezz?

I’ve bought the blade and am convinced this is my year

Great video once again 👏

I have the DF1 and absolutely love it

Where can you try them out, proshops or direct only ?

Andy when you consider that a Driver new costs between £400 + to pushing £700 depending on the shaft choice if not more and it’s only used a maximum of 14 times a round and sometimes only 8 to 9 times as I do on my home course here in Spain! A putter if putting in regulation numbers we use a putter potentially 36 times in a round I tend to average 26 to 30 puts per round, and even at that it’s still a significantly more used club than the driver . But most see it as not the most important club in the bag, possibly down to male bravado and thinking that long drives equals low scores, when it’s the fewest shortest shots the equals the lowest scores! One of these is on my to-buy list when I make my anual trip to Yorkshire and a trip to Warrington to Scottsdale Golf to get fitted and Buy one! Ping were the original innovators of putters in the late 60’s & 70’s with the Anser and I think LAB have now developed a better Mouse Trap!! Hope you are well mate I am loving your new format and the fantastic videos you are producing. Well done a brave decision and I’m glad it’s working out for you!!

Nice video thank you

Tried one out yesterday and the alignment is amazing, thanks for the additional information.

I got one about a week a go not had chance to play yet ever were is shut but putts fantastic on the living room carpet

I’ve had my putter for 11 years and it’s only the third I’ve ever had! Not changing!

Thanks again Andy . . . Where can we try them and nice kit you have there, Sir!

I have tried lie angle putters and they just don’t work for me as I tend to raise the toe with them but I am sure many golfers will benefit

Can’t wait for u to test the broomstick

Andy whilst I do enjoy your reviews I cant help but feel that the pushing of all these new iterations of putters can get a little bit how can I say it, expensive. As you are aware golfers are always looking for the next best thing that will propel their ability to score better and thus lower. This plays right into the hands of the manufacturers who are always claiming to do just that. I change my putter more times that I change my underpants and you know what it it does not make one iota of a difference. If i play good greens and feeling confident i will have a good day on the dance floor and normally record 28 to 31 putts. If i play poor greens and just not getting it I will shoot 34 to 38 putts. This runs much the same through the bag. Good days and bad days. But i get back to my point, last year you where waxing lyrical about the Mezz 1, now that attention has moved onto the latest thing, all this is doing is encouraging people to part with more money more money when really the ultimate aim does not change very much. Now I appreciate that people wish to try new things I don't buy into the idea that we should be changing every five minutes in our pursuit in golfing happiness. Simply put these putters are expensive irrespective of the quality of the headcover.

I bought one with the upgraded shaft and I would say the jury is still out on this one. I struggle with distance control.

I truly want one of these, but want it in a R.F. Set up almost like arm lock but standing more up right. It’s a super comfortable position.

Biggest part of putting is feeling the putt,line and green speed,no matter amount of money can buy you that skill

Ha ha great smile at the finish with the ball feature

Agree with the pistol grip being very nice. Did you experiment with changing your grip too Andy? (i.e. thumbs off)

I am indeed succumbing to the L.A.B. nation! I have sent a couple of videos now and need to send in a third to zero in on my lie angle. I don't mind. It's a significant investment, so I want to get it right. I think I will go for the Mezz Max as even with the reduced footprint, I can't go for what still looks like "Megamind" to me. But it's all good. Thanks again, Andy. I don't know how long I have been watching your channel now (likely since the onset of COVID-19), but I really enjoy all you do. Let me know if you are ever in Ohio, U.S.A., and I will take us for a great round!

Another vote for the LAB putters. I got a DF a year ago, and it’s by far the best club in my bag. As they say drive for show, putting for dough.

Considering the human touch-time that goes into building LAB Golf putters, the price isn't really ridiculous. As a mechanical engineer, the concept makes sense so I took the plunge a few years ago and haven't been disappointed. I also don't feel like I wasted my money. I actually own a few LAB putters now. It is the only equipment change I have ever made that made an immediate, positive impact on my index. I just splurged on a TPT shafted broomstick, which puts a crazy-good roll on the ball. I don't think a DF3 is in my future but if they start making broomstick DF3's...

I spent £450 on a putter pple were slating me but it’s something I use a good 40/50 times a round

Wonder if it only works with glove on 🤔

I bought a lab link 1 and I have to say it’s the best club I’ve bought ever. It’s packed full of tech and you can tell the materials are high quality. Lab invest serious time in balancing each individual putter before it leaves their facility and it’s noticeable in the results on the greens. I would say though it means a change of putting technique as if you try to manipulate the face through impact it’ll be no better than any other putter.. however if you just grip it lightly and let it swing the results will speak for themselves.. as for price point I’d say look at Scotty’s.. their quality is poor in comparison to lab and just churning out the same old stuff year on year…. Lab have really invested in the research and tech of each putter model… go and try or just get fit for one…

The hype on these putters is real guys. I have just came away from my first putting session after purchasing a LAB putter. Even after that I can’t see myself ever going back to something else

I have a 2.1 . . . I am a believer. As you said.... you have to try one to understand the technology.

Been using the 2:1 for nearly a year now Andy and have completely bought into the whole idea of Lie Angle Balance thanks to you I now average less putts per round and have recently started dabbling with taking my thumbs out of my set up and it’s been a game changer as you get a true feel of what these clubs actually do and let the club do the work and get that ball rolling out and hopefully straight in the hole ⛳️

Can you show us what technique you use on the lab putter 🥴

How much!!!

The biggest test is how do they feel and help on those 3 footer knee knockers

And, I am a DF 2.1 user and I prefer the term branding iron rather than space ship!!🤣

Thing is Andy, although you've used the Mezz you also dont use it - like all putters!

Hi T.A.G. THE PRICE PUTTS ME OFF .

Really great review Andy, just wondering if you’re going to try the LAB broom.

People happy to spend well over £500 on a new driver but one of these in your bag will guarantee to lower your scores. Far batter value

My mezz max is saving me so many shots per round already.

Nice but not the price 😢

What is the MOI?

The icon on the cover looks like a baby with a full diaper! Lol

Will it fit in the freezer if it's behavioral patterns earn it a night in there to contemplate what needs to be done on the course 😅

Had a Lab Link. Disliked it a lot. Concept is sound but did not like it at all. Found a gem with an Odyssey Ai-one. But that’s ok if others like the Lab products. I still think these are concept pieces. Maybe in the future I will try again unless it fades to a memory.

This is Dave Peltz putting theory, 25 years on

There are hundreds of putters out there. The best putter is the one we already own. It is called PRACTICE. If you honestly believe that some odd shaped putter will transform your skills on the green, then ask yourself this question. Why are all the top tour professionals using it?

"There's no bloody way I'm spending £459 on a golf stick". Jeff Bezos Okay I made it up (this is the internet, after all); at the end of the day it's a hunk of metal at the end of a stick. You may have a preference to the metal or the stick. Time & practise will yield better results than equipment changes. I'm not submersed in golf enough to blame my £10 implement.

Geez Louise. Keep the putter head closer to the ground on your take away and then through the ball. I Guarantee you will hole more putts.

I would buy it just because you can pick your ball up with it🤣

A lot of money , don’t think any putter is going to help my game at the mo😂ment

Wouldn't mind giving it a twirl if I could take it on approval for a week. It's not so much the price (you could get three of these for the price of a Scotty "My Girl") it's more about personal Proof of Concept, if you see what I mean.

Woah. £500 for a putter. I know it’s the most important club. But u can get a good second hand 2 ball for £80 and u never really need a new one again. Just my thoughts. If I had that much disposable income it would be in my bag. But £500. New bag new shoes new clobber would be first.

The price -🙄🙄😕😕

I'm don't like being a sheep, I just don't have an extra $600 to spend on a putter. Well, if I want to stay married I don't. 😂 For now, lazrus rainbow putter it is. 😂 That's right, rainbow! I ain't no sheep!! 😅😂

Putting with a glove...talk about feel

I really like most of your videos and evaluations. But as for putters, I think they have gone overboard. I personally would never pay more than US$150 for a putter. I have used an Odyssey two ball for years and don't really see anything better. I prefer face balanced to toe balanced. I putt one handed with my wrist and either look at the hole and ignore the ball and putter or look at the ball. I look at only one tiny spot, either a paint chip or a single blade of grass at side of the hole I want to aim at, or a single letter, spot or dimple on the ball, and let my eye rest steady but easy. Letting the eye wander, even just from one side of the ball to the other or one side of the hole to the other, destroys the neurological signals your brain gets that enable it to know how hard to stroke the ball. I never use an alignment stripe on the ball, trying to make all those adjustments is a waste of time and slows the game, and usually don't mark and pick up the ball, just let it sit the way it stopped. Come one, we're not pros playing for big money and a card. I make a very calm and easy stroke feeling the weight of the head as a pendulum with the same distance back as forward. I think all the hype for putters that cost $500-800 is just that, marketing hype. Heck, I can even still put with my ancient Acushnet Reuter Bulls Eye. I'm poor and cheap, so I can't wager more than a dollar, but I would bet a dollar against anyone with any putter on a given surface, indoor putting surface or outdoors on a real green. I know, this is all just personal preference, just me. I certainly don't begrudge anyone for feeling like they putt better with one of the fancy super pricey big name putters if they can afford it. But pros get putters for free, and most average recreational golfers have to mind the budget, and as long as it feels good in your hands a cheap putter will do the job. I'd recommend buying one from the pre-owned rack at your local pro shop or one of the big golf stores.

Obviously its a golfers choice what they spend their money on but £500 putters and drivers will most of the time not result in a lower handicap or better golf. But there's always another mug out there !

I got 3.50 mins forget it i am not trump too pricy

Most top Pros don’t have to pay these exorbitant prices. I would never pay this much.

Thanks but no thanks…$460 🤣🤣🤣 I will keep my 30 year old Ping Anser 3 and putt just as good as your fancy putter does… either you can putt or you can’t…$460 for a putter stop it…😂😂😂
