Can Science Fix Your Putting Game?
Спорт
The worst part of Erik's game is his putting (his words) so when L.A.B. Golf offered to do a free fitting and send him a putter, he took them up on it.
The putter is the Directed Force 2.1. It's a "lie angle balance" putter, which simply means the putter's face stays square through the entire stroke. It looks weird but it obviously works... check them out at labgolf.com/

We saw your putting in that last play through with Grant….HELL YES that LAB putter is worth it.

Nah, the average person is not spending $1000 on just a putter. Not worth it at all.

@@ogdanny5933 nothing in the title implies “average person” no, I don’t think it’s a great choice for a person living paycheck to paycheck or someone who’s life doesn’t necessarily revolve around golf. Do I think it’s worth it to someone like Erik that makes golf content for a living and is not living paycheck to paycheck, yes, I do.

It's the pride thing BUT....I did notice LAB does have other styles. Are they any less effective or all stroke dependent?
Absolutely thrilled to see even more detailed reviews of LAB!
Lab putters are criminally underrated and a I am glad to see you reviewing one, fantastic putter!
I love how the controversy is, "it looks weird", without taking the technology or actual personal testing into account. I love modern technology that can help you become a better golfer and most of us need that. I'm determined to win this after seeing you putt lights out vs Grant, and if I don't, I definitely need to find one to try out.
Putting being made easier is absolutely the quickest way to make golf fun again. I realized it when I went side saddle. Changed my entire outlook on the game.
“I feel like i’m about to become threatening” lmao love it EAL!
Saw your match with Grant and this got me more interested in the lab. It definitely works for you. Thanks for reviewing the putter and giving some insight into the company
I agree 100% on this video. I had a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 and had been struggling with opening my face and missing putts by just inches. (So Frustrating) so I did some research and LAB just kept coming up in my research. So I decided to check them out. Unfortunately for me the closest place to try one was a 4 hour drive. I drove it, I tried the LAB Putters and immediately seen there’s something special about the technology in them, I was making putts. I tried all the models and decided the Mezz Max was the fit for me. I bought it and have been super pleased with the outcome. I’ve made many many more putts and those dreaded 3 foot putts just fall in. I have much more confidence in the fact that I will make putts which really helps the ball go in the hole! Definitely recommend checking these out and shoot lower score. Great review.
Absolutely. Great review!
I have had one of these for a couple years and I find my putting improved drastically. I used to have issues with heel & toe strikes. With this putter, I never have that problem anymore!! Highly recommended!!!
Erik!!! It's been a while since I have tuned in but man is it great to see you swinging and smiling again dude! And seeing you do a little dance on the greens is refreshing! I have long been a believer in L.A.B. Golf putters but when you're a washed up golf pro and a father of 5 it is hard to pull the trigger on new gear. Would love a chance to bag a branding iron from Sam and the peeps down at L.A.B. so I can leave a mark on all of my opponents as they walk off the footage of putts made while they walk to the atm! Oh! And I can't seem to get on the newsletter sign up for some reason! Cheers!
The reason I think tigers putter worked so well is because he’s never changed it and stuck with it through good and bad periods

I’d definitely love the chance you get to try this putter! Awesome videos on the channel too! Your video with Grant was 🔥
Looks dope. You definitely seemed more confident putting on that sweet match play track. Send that confidence stick my way….I need it.
Awesome video thanks!!
I love the swag of this channel. Content is top notch like the merch
Anyone else not finding any newsletter sign up on the website?
got one last season and love it, already thinking about getting another one
as a total lab convert currently gaming the df, every one who wants to putt better should get one. took me almost two months to really be able to groove, but putting is now my favorite part of the game
I also got a birdie on hole one with my first round with the LAB putter. Love it!
Totally LOVE my LAB Mezz 1 Max Armlock. It’s changed my putting. I am totally sold on their tech. Now that I’ve been using the armlock I kinda want to try the non armlock version too 😁 Heck I may even give the DF 2.1 a go too!
Love the honest feedback and I noticed your improvement right away while playing Grant. Especially Grants face when you sank some DEEEEEP putts!

Pride definitely a big factor in this one I wouldn't classify myself as a bad putter but seeing you and seeing many other people holding so many putts with these things I've definitely looked at testing one out just a shame its hard to find somewhere to test it out without having to pay the hefty pricetag! Ps: newsletter subscription link is just taking me to the homepage🥴
Thank you for the chance to win. This DF looks awesome.
I was already considering buying a LAB putter after seeing Adam Scott playing it - but after the ACC match with Grant, you have me sold!
Watched the match with Grant. Honestly you smoked it with the L.A.B. Putter. Best putting I’ve seen you do over the length of your KZread career! Would love to give it a try 🤞
I need the L.A.B putter in my life! Great review
I ended up buying one right after the video with Grant you did. It arrives today!. I went and looked at other KZread videos on the putter to see what others were saying and everyone seems to rave about it.
I need that putter in my bag! I watched this video to see your opinion after seeing another KZread golf channel using them, but their review was less detailed. Thanks for the awesome content and the bad ass golf gloves lol. If I win ill fly out and play a round with it and wear 2 golf gloves if necessary !
Great review. Find these putters so interesting. Would love to check one out.
Nice review! As someone who notoriously forward presses his putter, would love to give the L.A.B. a test run and see the difference between my Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5X. Mallets all the way EAL!

Mallets are indeed the way!
I have the MEZZ.1... I love it. Over the putt I feel I can start it on my line everytime. I just need to concentrate on dialling in the other two parts the read and the speed.
Congrats on the new putter....hope it serves you well in the coming years!
I try out this putter every time I walk into the PGA superstore.. I just wasn't sure how it would carry over to the actual course. But after watching your match against Grant.. the confidence it gave you was definitely showing. Even Grant was impressed.. would love to be selected as the winner of this giveaway.. so when I pull it out in the first green, my buddies will be Like what in the he'll is that thing.. then take their money..
Been playing a LAB for a few years now ... its amazing. Highly recommended to everyone.
Damn near drive with this putter. One club challenge hear I come!!
Your putting was amazing in the last course vlog. I am considering getting one. I dont like mallets so it would be a big adjustment but if it works then I could definitely game it.

They have a great blade option as well called the Link.
I’ve messing around with a LAB putter at PGA Superstore. Tried it again after watching your match with Grant. I was making everything around the practice green and kind want one now! Lol 😂
Bloody sensational !!!
Super cool of LAB and RGC to partner up like this… Hey EAL, can I send in a dirty glove for replacement too? Lol!
Praying I win that beauty. I’ve been rocking the same putter for 15 years. I believe that LAB would cut a couple strokes off and bring down to a single handicap. Love the videos keep up the awesome work!
I swear I watched the Grant video and am now going to a LAB dealer on Monday in Basingstoke, UK for a fitting.
Putting with a LAB putter is different than anything I'd ever had before. The feel is just so stable and solid but soft at the same time, almost like it's rubber mounted, which may be due to it being the first putter I've had with a graphite shaft. I love my Mezz1 AR.
The putting in the video with Grant was brilliant and hopefully your putting continues to improve going forward. On the question of worth it? its like anything we buy its all relative for most people probably not, but if you can afford it then why not, as golfers we do spend £500 on drivers or get it second hand. Personally I think there is a mental block spending the same money on a putter, even when the putter is far more important to our game than the driver. Our score can be made or broken by how we putt more so than how we hit a driver. Personally I swapped from a blade putter to a mallet a year or two ago and I am a lot more confident with it. My issue with a mallet style is the look, and the look of a putter plays a major part in putting as you need to be confident standing over it, and sometimes the larger designs can be more off putting it. Finally apologies for the long rant, but interesting watch and looking forward to seeing who wins and how they find the putter.
Would love one of these in the bag!
I was waiting for this video since the match with Grant. Rolling the rock to perfection
The video with grant was pretty awesome. From your other videos I’ve watched that putter really made a difference.
How did I not know about LAB Golf until I watched this video?! They’re just down the road from me! 😂😅 awesome putter!
Your putting with Grant put this at the top of my wish list.
I have one of these. Since owning it, my putting stats have been brilliant. Although it’s a lot of money, it’s better value than paying lots of money for a driver. I am anticipating my handicap to fall this year as my putting gets better.

how much did your handicap fall
Another hell of a video, the putter has a crazy look to it, definately something I would replace my 30 year old hand me down putter with!
Went there got fitted and walked out with my new DF the L.A.B site is such a great experience
I really enjoy playing Shadowglen golf club. I can't wait to see what L.A.B Golf Putters can do.
I have a LAB Mezz putter and I may get hell on the course for how it looks but it has completely changed my putting and done wonders for me score wise.
Looking forward to that interview! ;)
Please lord id love the putter and to be part of a random golf club film more!
I would love to own this putter , I love the look of it and the center shaft as well. Seen it first with Pete Finch
Ok got entered into the contest, thanks for the chance!
At one point a spyder or fang putter probably was "crazy"... Now even scotty cameron make them. If it goes in the hole, it's a beauty!

With the way you were rolling that ball with Grant ....I could definitely use that putter. Hell even some gloves may help my game at this point!
Looks like a spaceship, want! @Erik, it says sub to newsletter but there’s no link?!
20+ yrs ago, my putting was the worst. I couldn't read a line well, couldn't roll a ball end over end if my life depended on it. And my scores reflected it. A bad back injury / surgery kept me from swinging a club for a few months and during that time I decided i was making a change. So for three months, i learned all i could about putting and I putted with everything out there i could find to help me roll the ball better and on my intended line. I ended up with an Odyssey 2-Ball. They were new at the time. Took a while to get over the looks, but the RESULTS couldn't be argued with. I used that putter for a lot of years. The putter that followed was used for a lot of years. Those two putters weren't 'lookers' but they sure were players. Find what works for you and use it. And if you cast aside what works for ooh's and aaah's, you're giving away strokes. And in the end, rolling in the putts one after another after another is what impresses anyways.
I’ve had mine for one year. I get crap for the looks but love the results. DF 2.1 red, three lines, 35 inch, (upright) 75 degrees.
Am I the only one that can't seem to find an option to subscribe to the newsletter through the link?

I bought a LAB putter and one year in my putts per GIR dropped from 2.1 to 1.9. Really enjoy it. I get better with it every round.
Make it happen EAL you know it makes sense 💥 ⛳️
I tried these putters when I visited Dallas and they were great. I should have just paid to ship one back to Wales!
Invest in a putter - the most hit (stroked) club in the bag every round. Get fitted. Lie angle very important for one's setup and stroke. May need to improve either or both. Practice. Fall in love with putting ........ o ____ ! Most will have 28-38 putts per round - 100% or more than the driver, maybe 14 times per round. Many shell out $300-$500 every year or so for a new driver.
I’m with you EAL, I love the blade look more too… but the performance of the mallet can’t be denied. When I pull my fugly “daddy long legs” putter out the bag all my bros go “Wth is that?!” 😂
This is cool a 10 minute ad for LAB golf on your channel
Love the look of these putters wish I could afford one 🤣
I am a huge putter guy, and by that I mean I am an average-sized guy who loves putters, and game a Scotty. I practice putting more than I really need to and would love to win one of these to see how much more I can improve my putting. My arcco stats would be fun to look at
Man I miss that course! Good ol Shadow Glen
Anyone know what loopband he’s wearing? Looks great on that blue Apple Watch
Love the wild ( weird ) look. Would love to bag tbh. All signed up lfg.
Been struggling lately with my old odyssey putter. Would be great to have L.A.B putter in my bag. Stratch golfer here i come😂😁
Wow, I have struggles with putting for some time. Played golf last weekend and I got paired up with three other guys. One had a LAB putter. Long story short he let me use it and I did want to give it back. 😅
It’s seems to have given your putting a massive boost, LAB = wow
After seeing you draining putts with Grant, I want one. But $1000 putters aren't exactly in my budget.
Can't putt with anything else now. Love the torque free stability. Have won well over $1,000 off my golfing buddies since getting the LAB Directed Force. People laugh at the looks until they start seeing the putts drop. The new Mezz and Link.1 designs are fantastic too.
Mmm. Would love to win that putter. Great review. The putting with Grant was epic.
Love mine. Been in the bag for 3 seasons now.
Man! If only... I'm still using the "Never Compromise" putter I bought used back in college 30 years ago...
The DF3 is the perfect solution to the looks of the 2.1
First hole with the new putter - bird. Niiiice.
I loved the video with Grant. He was totally in awe and wonder with your putting on the course in Austin. Keep up the good work. Like, subscribe, and follow!!!!
Great video
I could just picture Prince rolling a 60 footer for birdie in the pouring rain with a purple L.A.B putter.
Whoa, Erik! What the hell?! I can't wait to get these gloves. Oh, they will be worn! Thank you so much!
Came for the putter but now I’m trying to find the brand of that 1/4 zip 👌🏼👌🏼
So when do they send you the new blade they did?
