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/

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
