MOST INSANE PUTTER EVER! - L.A.B. Golf DF3 Review 

Had a new cameraman 🎥 for this video. What did you think??

Putter looks fantastic. Six of us were watching this video in a clubhouse in the West of Scotland, and we were all at the same time googling the Lab putter. I struggle to understand some golfers who will quite happily pay £500 for a driver, and yet won't go above say £150 for a putter. 45 to 50% of my game is putting if not more. Magic video, Gabe. Loved this one ☝.

I started with the DF 2.1 and absolutely fell in love. I was hitting the lines that I was seeing and became so confident when I walked up to the green. I just got their Mezz Max in a Broomstick and having so much fun learning a different technique. LAB Golf is awesome.

Haters gonna hate. Using my LAB Mezz Max for almost 2 seasons. Well worth the money

For the past nine months, I have been deeply engrossed in researching various putters to find the perfect one for me. It hasn't been an easy task, but I have finally found what I was looking for - the new DF3. This putter has all the features I've been looking for - balance, precision, and a comfortable grip. I'm excited to finally be able to make a purchase and get my hands on it. However, the new DF3 is quite expensive, so I will have to part ways with some of my backup putters to be able to afford it. It's not an easy decision, as these putters have been with me for quite some time, but I know it's worth it to invest in a quality putter that will improve my game.

Great review! Really interesting how they are able to help with your customization with the video you send in. It’s a large price tag but seems worth it to be able to customize to putter to your liking.

I just received my DF3 Putter two days ago and took it out to the putting green at my local golf course yesterday. All I have to say is it's pure MAGIC! This is the best damn putter I have ever owned/used in my entire golf life. I feel like I can't miss or I will at least be two putting all day long. Wow!!! It truly is a remarkably fantastic putter. I don't know why every single PGA Tour Pro is not using one of these putters?!?! If you have never tried one, go try one today I promise you it will change your game for the best forever!

The technology is unbelievable and such an amazing company. I'm glad the L.A.B. is finally getting the recognition it deserves on Tour and especially for amateurs. I personally don't own one and want to buy one. I rolled a few with my buddies and it just takes all the variables out. Thanks, Gab for the review.

I have the DF one the original one I love it. Minimum of four strokes a round less. three putts are unheard of anymore. I don’t care what it looks like. It works fabulous

I was really looking at ordering a Lab Golf Mezz.1 but found a SIK putter used for 120 and it has been magic for me! Love the vids

Great review the drill is the 3 foot circle drill & Phil got this from Jackie Burke. You need to make 100 3 ft.putts in a row moving around the circle

Nice work with the camera and really nice looking putter

Thanks for the great content. These are great putters. I have a mezz max 1. The ball rolls so straight with one of these.

I’ve just bought this putter and have yet to have a round with it, but the feel is awesome

Great review! I was pondering getting an orange DF3 as well (broomstick when it's released) and I wanted to ask you if you think glare will be an issue in bright sunshine, with the orange head? I love the look of the orange, it's a real head turner for sure.

I tried one out and the feel is crazy good. How much of it is the shaft ?

Have a LAB putter that I got used It’s helped my game tremendously. Big fan. Great review. 👍

Still using my stock 2.1 and loving it. I've never cared about the look, anything that makes golf easier is beautiful to me!

Just curious, but what style of putter do you typically use (blade or mallet)? I am considering buying a L.A.B. putter but I don’t know if I should switch styles since it would be a new experience putting with it altogether? 🤔

As long as I line it up properly and as long as I get the speed right... My putter works well when I do that too!

I have the 2.1 and putted the best of my life. However the looks and travel (travel more) was really difficult with the 2.1 as it’s so big and hard to really keep wrapped and covered in the travel bag. Moved to the Mezz Max and still putting well but have been waiting on the DF3 to come out. Can’t wait to test it out when they get some demos at my local store.

now im sure I do want the orange! love that color

Glad you discovered the LAB putter Gabe. I’ve had mine a year now and it’s improved my putting enormously

​@LetsPlayThru Great video, I was wondering if I can make a suggestion? It was hard to see but it looked like you were playing the ball too far back in your stance. Because the shaft is behind the putter head, the shaft should be lined up to the middle or a lifttle bit forward in your stance which means the ball should be like a fairway wood position in your stance (or driver depending on how wide your stance is when putting). I think you felt like you were compressing the ball because you actually were, with the forward press grip and having the ball back in the stance, you were hitting down on it. Youll still get that buttery feel when hit well (with the mezz I can def tell when I miss hit it), but its sort of more of a like a driver, you want to hit up on the ball. With the forward press and hitting up on it, the launch angle should be perfect -- ball too far back in the stance and youll be driving the ball in the ground. Idk if youve been on their youtube channel but they have video(s) about ball position and why they recommend what they do. Congrats on being converted too! :P Edit: went back and watched again. Ball position looks maybe forward enough? Its really hard to tell from looking from the side in a video. Hope no offense taken, just trying to help! Theyre weird putters and the set up changes a little bit but boy do they work!

Can’t wait for the broomstick to come out. I’ve been chomping at the bit for one!

Great video amd review Gabe!!🏌‍♂⛳

I have the MezzMax Broom…it’s deadly..didn’t take long to adjust to and my back thanks me as well. I think a lot of guys who say they tried one and it didn’t work get one way to long. I’m 5’10” and mine is 42.5” which sets up perfectly for me..people spend $600+ for a Driver and don’t even flinch…you use your putter on every green…so this investment was well worth it to me.

My question is how to change the grip since the grip design is different from other products in the market. Does it mean that I can't use grips of other brands?

i was custom fit virtually for a DF 2.1 about 2-3 years ago. I was super excited about the lie angle balanced concept BUT after spending nearly $650 and a season of using it i couldn’t get over the branding iron looks nor the aluminum hollow feel. timing is everything and last July I custom ordered an Odyssey jailbird 380 limited edition with the micro-hinge face right before they stopped the ordering. and that’s my gamer now and for a very long time to come. it’s solid and stable at 36 inches. this DF 3 looks great but can’t be jumping on the bandwagon after buying my Jailbird 380 last year for $430.

How do you like it compared to the Link? How do you find your pace control on long and short putts? Cheers

That putter looks pretty schweeeet - thanks for the excellent demonstration

Great video.. I have never seen a putter that looks like that.

I hope ya going to keep that in the bag, I’d love to see long term results…..👌

Are you going to test those Legato golf balls? I’ve tried a few boxes and really enjoy them. Very ProV1x feeling to me.

I use a Seemore putter and I am not looking to replace it! I really need the setup help it gives me. Offset on putter’s always makes me think the face is closed! I wish I could try one of these but as a lefty I would have to but it first!

Would love to see a review on the Void putters. Their insert tech seems legit but there’s not many reviews out there.

I went to pga ss and this putter out of every single putter on that shelf felt the best. Feels insanely good and rolls true every single time. I could tell exactly where the ball was going to go as soon as I hit the putt. Looks outrageous but would play the hell out of this putter if I could afford one lol

Gabe, I have been using a DF 2.1. As long as you can get past the branding iron look it WILL make you a better putter.

Good job Gabe 👍👍👍

What's face balance? Toe hang, up ,or toe down or face up?

Not sure if I can give up my ole trusty Odyssey Versa 9 WBW. Just like what Phil used to use. Not sure I couldn't watch this head going back. Lots going on back there.

I may be a little exentric with my golf game, i love different looks and colors. My wedges are rainbow colors, and i love them. That being said, im not sure i could do the burnt orange color. 😂😅

How tall are you Gabe ? just trying to get an idea on my lie angle do you know if they ship to Canada ? I am 5'7 with a straight through putter swing very interested in this putter thx for doing the review of your putter cheers from Vulcan Canada

The 3 is definitely a little more appealing to the eye vursus the 2. 🤔 What made you go to the orange head ? Just curious. 🙂

After hitting 12-14 gir and struggling to shoot 76 more times than i like, i have tried every putter i could, including a Dandy. I don't care what it looks or feels like if i can consistently start putts on line and make 3 footers. I have no problem paying 6-7 hundred dollars for a putter that instills confidence. Im happy with any driver made in the last 7 years, so i won't be spending on drivers or irons.

Could this be the shape of things to come? It's fugly, but I think I could get used to it, especially if it took off some strokes. I just don't play enough golf to justify the cost.

I have the DF 2.1 in Armlock (40") design. It's the best putter I've ever had but it doesn't putt by itself! You still need to read the line correctly and putt it at the appropriate speed. I'm a 5 GHIN but could be better by putting more assertively. But I lag too many putts because I hate 3 putting.

Can’t wait for my DF3.

Evenroll has used this forward press grip for years.

The original looked like a large branding iron, this looks like a small branding iron. I didn't hate the look of the first putter, but I do prefer the new smaller version. Love the putter reviews. Nice job. Question, what ball are you playing and have you done a review?

Uh oh!!! Someone finally found their Billy Baroo. 😂

Putter certainly works

Did it feel a little plastic or toy like off the face that’s the only thing I was having a hard time getting used to when I tried it at the PGA store.

I've got the Link 1 - the best putter I've ever owned by far.

The DF3 looks so much better than the DF2. I may have to give it a go!

DId you select the shaft or was that suggested by LAB Golf after they saw your video? Do you ave any thoughts on the TPT shaft (other than it is expensive)? Great video. Pretty sure I am ordering a DF3 very soon.

What's the total weight of the putter? You might have mentioned in the video but is it a fully balanced putter including grip and shaft? Or just swing balanced in the head? IMO a fully balanced putter is just as important for distance control as head balancing for disbursement. Great stuff as always!

waiting for the broomstick version woo

I noticed that you had lined up a few putts using a marking on the ball at the beginning of the review, but it wasn’t clear if you getting the ball to roll end over end. Was it easy to get the ball rolling end over end with the LAB? Usually it takes me a few practice sessions to get the ball rolling well with a new putter. I play the Srixon z star divide, so I can get visual feedback on how the ball is rolling.

Loc N Roll from Graves has the same concepts, I like it. I believe the concept works better when you get used to it.

Hello, I'm a big fan of you from South Korea. Which putter do you think is better, DF3 or Jailbird 380?

LAB are tremendous putters. I have the Mezz Max and the original DF2.1 …. That 2.1 is hands down the best putter I’ve ever used. It’s not pretty, but to me it’s beautiful. This DF3 is the refined version of the 2.1 If any of you guys are on the fence, stop thinking about it!! Just do it!!!! You will not regret it!!!!!!

When did you switch to Legato balls

For me personally I hit out the toe on purpose for downhill puts, I even put the lower weight in the toe to have more variance in the distance

Cameraman is great!

Curious about how tall you are?

Very stable image. In focus all the time

2:09 😂

The cost of these is NOT for mere mortals!😳

Which LAB putter is the most forgiving/accurate?

A lot of people complain about the price of these putters but they will spend 600-800 on a driver no problem. Fun fact, you hit your putter 3 or 4 more times a round than your driver.

Very Prince and the New Power Generation

Any PGA tour pros using one? Noticeable improvement to the video production.

Love these putters. Once you commit you’ll never play another putter

cost?

A high-MOI putter is "most insane"? Fitted with weights? Try the Happy Putter. I'm disappointed it's not a stand-up putter. I play the Bloodline, and I will never use a putter that doesn't stand up again. It seems like a fine club, but how many golfers will actually go through a fitting? We are an off-the-shelf society. Price? $559. Does that include fitting? Are fittings done by people trained to do them with this putter?

Not a gimmic, Phil, Scott, Talatoris are using them already-i thought it was but obviously tour pros don't depent on free clubs right? Or on some money (I am sure new company can't offer 2millions to a player to ise its putter-ando also players won't take that "little" money to use it. Scott used newport2 20+ years and Phil his Odyysey for 20+

I'm wondering if anyone has played their blade-style putter...Link.1. I'm not a fan the mallet putter but the blade interests me. Any comments appreciated.

Why don’t the tour pro’s use them if they are that good ?

Man, is LAB Golf pushing a lot of money into marketing. I keep see these videos making me want one which means the marketing works but I'm trying to hold myself back. I just bought a new putter last year!

Lab must be doing a ton of influencer marketing. I’ll stick with my spyderx putter but that putter grip is really intriguing.

Definitely way to expensive

Id almost want one just because the headcover is magnet and nice unlike the scottie’s ugly and velcro 😂

I just can’t do it with that head shape. Wish I could be it’s a no go

That thing is gaudy and hideous. Looks like a concept club. I can see my buddies razing me about it, especially if I miss any putt with it. Haha! I'll wait for the next gen when they fix the look. Thanks for the reviews you do.

LAB golf DFA3 at $560+upgrade Accra shaft $100=$660 ?!

Those are great putters, but pretty expensive $$$

Cool putter, but so fully customized has to hurt resale value.

I seriously don't think i could get past how that looks...

Have youever heard of Dandy Putters? A Dandy putter was used to by Vijay Singh to win the Masterr in 2000 and Dr. Gil Morgan to win a number of Senior Tour events. Like L.A.B. putters, the shaft is positioned behind the clubface allowing neutral balance - The grip features a bend at the top forcing you to hold the putter in the lifeline and set your wrists. Worth a look!

i can't help but feel, who needs all this in a putter? you could learn to putt with piece of lumber on a stick if you practiced enough. and they're hideous. i enjoy nice things too. i'm playing a piretti savona and putt well with it.

It's NOT the putter, it's the Putter. If you don't believe me, look at the putter Tiger and Jack used.

Your review didn’t cover the price. I’m guessing $400. Kind of important to mention

May your three putts be few.

$700 for a putter?

holed 5 out of 7 🤣 About sums up your lack of accuracy in what you are saying.

First

It’s cool how customizable it is, but, damn that thing sure looks like a dogs breakfast 🤢

That thing is beyond ugly.

Ugliest putter ive ever seen. Good god id be ashamed to have that in my bag!!! Even if it helps. 😂😊
