**spends multiple videos talking about how his driver is holding him back** **gets $1000 putter to fix his game** He's just like us :') **Serious note - great content and I know you'll be breaking through any day now. You got this!

It’s not a much bigger than a lot of other mallets out there now. Big improvement over the original. The heck with looks. Go with the stats!

DF2.1 for LIFE!!!

I’ve had a DF2.1 for 14 months. I’ve averaged 27 putts per round. I play 4 times a week. I went from a Scotty to the big ass “spaceship”. It took a bit to get used to the looks, and while I’ve missed plenty of putts (1/3 are misses), they were from the wrong speed or line. I have only felt like I twisted the face 4 times. I also went 22 rounds between 3 putts once. I can’t drive the ball worth a crap, but this putter is awesome. It will only be replaced with another L.A.B. putter. Strokes Gained Putting is +3.53 for the year. Best round was +5.98. I’ve been a great putter for 20 years, but a streaky putter. This putter has made me consistent.

“I just wish it didn’t look so horrible”. Great line, I got a good laugh there 👏. I just switched to an ugly set of irons and playing the best golf of my life, golf is hard enough… Putt away bro!!

I have had the big directed force putter since the came out. It is just insane how easy it makes putting.

I think it actually looks good! Got my blue one on order- can’t wait!

Hands down the best tech in golf, IMO. The putter is the most used and arguably most important club in the bag. I’m an early adopter and have been using the DF 2.1 before it became lab golf. Bought mine from Bill Presse personally. I’ll NEVER understand the “I don’t like how it looks crowd.” If it works, use it. This technology WORKS. ❤️👍🏻

Got the OG spaceship this year and has absolutely changed my putting. Went from losing 5-7 strokes a round putting to 0-2 strokes lost and even sprinkle in a round here or there where i actually gain which had never happened in the 3 yrs of keeping stats with arccos.

I've got a DF3 and absolutely love it. I can't imagine it leaving my bag for long. After a couple of rounds, I don't even see anything but the alignment marks on the putter, don't even notice how it looks. Also my hat showed up yesterday, Stoked to rep Always Press on the course today.

its not ugly..when you're getting those skins. I have the same DF3 in Green w/ white Accra. Thanks for making the video!

Love your videos keep it up any tips for a junior golfer to improve

Hey Ben, I am like you I have played with lots of different putters before getting my own lab putter. My lab put it is the DF three as well and I am in love with how it is performing for me so far. just stick with it. Keep putting and enjoy.

I've had the DF3 since it released, and I love it! It's not just about the putter, it's the confidence you get in the putter. Knowing you can make a not so great stroke or strike and it still be good.

Geez there’s some haters in these comments about a putter they probably heave never tried. 😂 As someone who actually went through the LAB fitting, I can honestly say it has improved my putting significantly especially within 6 feet and my 3 putts % is almost zero since making the switch. It does take a little while to trust and definitely need to get custom fit. It’s only $1,000 when you upgrade to that tpt $400 shaft. I got the df3 w/ the accra for $600 and love it!! Looking forward to seeing how it works for you in competition!

I got this exact putter this spring. Ive struggled with the figure 8 backswing with every putter I have ever tried. Ive been fitted to every kind of toe hang putter and nothing fixed that. Over a putt, my mind would be completely focused on pulling the putter away straight back with no jumping in or out and as a result, I missed a lot of lines and had speed issues. From the moment I got this in the mail that is now fixed. Completely gone, zero issues with my stroke or face control. Now, I can concentrate on line and speed which, as you say, makes it seem simple. Quieter more confident brain over the putt. I did have some minor stance comfort issues with the ball so far forward, but that only took a couple days for it to look and feel familiar. Honestly, feels like a cheat code. I still miss my share of putts because, I suck...but you cant engineer talent. I skip to the greens to putt now. I LOVE this thing. Also, it really starts to look good after a while.

I got the LAB Mezz a few months ago and my putting has definitely improved, not having to deal with toe hang takes getting used to it but I love it

I just picked up a DF3, counterbalanced, with the same TPT shaft. It does indeed feel really amazing, can't wait to roll more putts with it. I feel like the no torque plus counterbalanced just makes the putter feel so easy and glidey through the stroke. Love it!

These are made at my old home course, super cool

I experimented with the previous model of this LAB putter last summer and the problem that I had with it was it wasn't good on slower greens. Worked great on fast greens I never figured it out why it didn't perform on slow greens so I went back to my Scotty Cameron Futura 5.5M. I do think that there is something to the LAB DF3 technology and certainly is worth me trying it again. The other good thing to mention to anyone who is reluctant to try the LAB putter is that while it was very expensive to purchase I was easily able to sell it for what I paid for it. So the resale value is excellent because of LAB's good reputation.

Glad you got it 👍🏽

Got mine about 3 weeks ago and i love this thing

Always Press, Ben!

I understand it, and a lot of people love them. I don’t like the feel or the sound, and it gets caught in the rough and fringe more than I’d like…but my testing was with a DF2.1, I’ve heard the 3.0 improved that a bit. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents. I don’t hate them, but my Miura stays.

Love U Ben

I’ve been using the Mezz 1 max broomstick since last August. The conversation with the people I get paired with usually goes something like, “what is that, why did you start using that?” on hole one to “so where did you get that, how much was it?”, by hole 9. 😅

I’m using one. About to use it in a state qualifier. Last round on punched greens I made 4 birdies in 9 holes.

Bruh that pause took me out 😂😂😂😂😂

Recently switched to the LAB link and it's probably the best purchase I've made in golf in 20 years. My SG in putting is on the up massively now

Love my DF2.1 L. A.B. Golf all the way.

Met up with the OG owners when it was direct force in Carson city Nevada. Look back and kinda regret not getting into it in like 2016-2017. But now is something I am heavily considering putting in the bag

I’ve been using blade putters for the last 8y. Went chunky with an Odyssey Triple Wide 2y ago. Improvement, but still poor results. Bought a used Mezz Max w LAGoof shaft a few months ago and both my confidence, consistency, and results have drastically improved. No spotty performances, really improved. Will be testing out a DF3 at my first opportunity. Love the Mezz, but if the DF3 is slightly better, I’ll upgrade just for the ball retrieval capability

I have the same putter (and shaft). It isn't a magical cure for a bad stroke or bad green reading - but it certainly does help you simplify. You can do a free video fitting with L.A.B. to get your lie angle. If you are lucky enough to around their stock offering, you can buy the putter for the same price as a generic Scotty - and for that I think it's a fantastic deal.

I have the Mezz 1 putter and it rolls very well on fast/medium greens but on super slow greens hard to get it rolling...does feel bit soft off the face...but better putter then the Cameron Futura 7 I was using.

Like the Kudos to Golf MD. Go to place in KC to get fitted.

For someone chasing a pro card I think the looks and price are acceptable. If I saw a 20 handicapper using it on a weekend I’d probably think they could have spent the money better.

I had a LAB and ehh maybe I should have kept it but I hated the feel if it, so went back to my S.C. I’m currently having a Mayoux putter built to my specs, which I feel like will be a big game changer for me!

I was skeptical as well, but after trying several of the lab models out at a PGA superstore the df3 was scary good, especially inside 10 feet, price was 559

I just got df3 and omg what a game changer first four rounds with it had 28 26 29 and 26 putts it’s ridiculous I’m going to enter more tournaments now that I feel great with a putter 😊

Love me some LAB as a golf tech nerd, but 2 deal breakers for me when I played the 2.1 branding iron. 1). It’s windy we’re I live and that giant head acted as a sail 2). I was consistently short on my local muni greens. I could NOT train myself into taking such a long stroke to get the ball to the hole

I've tried a few different putters, if I can't feel the face it's really hard for me to gauge speed. That's where my putting needs help, so I switched back to SS face and love it.

If I could afford one I’d have a df too. Good to see your fading the driver again Ben.

"Now that I know it's human .." LOL

Best decision you’ll ever make! Game changer!

Balance is key. I tested a Mezz for the last 5 rounds...missed one putt inside 5', two inside 6'. Missed no putts inside 6' at my first U.S. Open Senior Q. I had been critical in the past, but no longer. My custom Mezz will be here this week.

Try the Link 1 and Mezz love to hear the comparison, two more easy videos for you

I just put a DF3 in the bag. Game changer.

I have the Link.1 (blade LAB) Might be the tech or placebo but definitely putting better with it than my Newport or Ping Tyne H. I’d say stick w it for a while

Saving up 4 the Lab Maz 1 broomstick!

NGL, those putts are impressive, and I think you do whatever it takes to shave off strokes. This is looking to be a great fit for you, so go for it! If I am going to compete in tournaments and the stats don't lie, I'd get it in a heartbeat too!

Hey Ben, Would you fancy comparing the Link1 to the DF3? I think it's a video that would interest a hell of a lot of guys and gals who just don't have space in the bag for a DF3...I tested the Mezz.1 and was really impressed but I always worry how these bulkier putters will perform out of longer grass... Something that is important to me given my very yippy shortgame!

Speed control especially on lag putts was always an issue when I tried the 2.1

I have been trying to get my hands on a link1 I guess I would take a df3 too. But hard to find for decent price. And I don’t know which of mine I would sale. The phantom 5.5 or the studio design 2.5 I have been putting crazy good with the 5.5 but I feel there is even a little more in the tank to squeeze out

I bought it love it !! $450

It's 1k because of the $400 tpt shaft Upgrade. It's a dope shaft but the other ones are balanced the same so it's really a $600 putter which yes is a lot but not insanely above the big boys. Plus the technology is something that a custom scotty won't have

nevermind the putter.... those are some of the straightest drives I've seen you hit in some time. Keep up the good work man!

I will admit: after testing out the df3 in PGAss it is the most stable putter I’ve ever used. So easy to just trust your line and hit a good putt. Just wish they come out with different designs because I cannot stand the look of it sadly.

Nice review, what style of putter are you ( straight or Arc)? Do you find it differs depending if your left or right eye dominant? Trying to work out my style so just curious.

Performance should be your be the deciding factor

How about the new reverse taper putting grip by golfpride. Most people that use it say its a game changer and its 29.95$. I felt the same way after I installed and used it.

winning is worth getting over the looks

I hear the point, but I know many pros that have used a lab and have gone back to a scotty or some other putter. LAB fits for some golfers, but like a lot of clubs -- not for every golfer.

everybody always searching for that magic putter, still have to read the green and put a good stroke on it.

From a "physics" point-of-view, a softer putter should make speed putts easier, as it extends the "window of timing/i.e. correct acceleration."

So many turning to this putter. Hope it works out for you!

This putter changed my life

got mine fit online and ended up with the bgt shaft, press 3.0 grip..greatest golf investment i have ever made. anyone who hates on these did not go through the recommended fitting process.

Personally I think the new df3 looks great

I have no problem with the appearance (the new smaller DF3 version, anyway) and I believe the design concept makes a lot of sense. The only thing keeping it out of my bag is the price tag. I'm just not ready to invest $600+ on a putter.

I use the original DF 2.1 and thought it was hideous at first, but it really grew on me. love it. the tech is worth it no matter what it looks like. and I think you'll come to find it endearing like an ugly little puppy

Damnit Ben. Do they give away a doghouse with each putter purchase bc that’s where I’m going to end up after watching this video 😂

Best putter I’ve ever played.

Mine will be delivered tomorrow. Golf league is tomorrow night.

My only complaint is the face on mine looks closed at address. And even though I know that I try and save it at impact. It’s by far the most forgiving putter in the market.

the thing i didnt like about the lab was the feel off the face

It tried it with upgraded shaft and feels good , but just can’t leave my Scotty

If you are trying to score low for a living go with the putter that makes that more possible. I play forged blades because I like the challenge of hitting good shots with them...I don't compete against other people for money or fulfillment.

Do you have a L.A. shaft in it? That really makes it expensive. I have liked that putter for a long time. Keep grinding.

Don’t worry about appearance. First round with it shot 66 and had 8 one putts

I’ve had this putter about 2 months this ago now. I literally could not imagine using anything else

I remember this same buzz happened 20 something years ago with the original odyssey 2 ball, everyone was saying you cant miss with these putters and half of the players had one

yup its the latest hype putter still gotta read the greens and put a good stroke on it.

the question is do you want style or performance.. if i was dropping putts with a pushbroom... but missing with a cameron.. i'd be using a broom

Have you looked at the Mezz or the Mezz max or whatever it’s called. Smaller than DF3 but still not a blade

@JimEPea2

I have the Mezz max in a broomstick. I would’ve rather had the DF3 but they didn’t make it in broomstick yet

Ben, you don't buy clubs based on looks, but performance! Why do you swing the current Driver in your bag? Hopefully, it's not because you like the colors?

DF3 has changed my game completely. It’s insane.

What's looks got to do with it.....the only thing that matters is the number in the box. Oh and the price!

Can’t help but notice you’re wearing a Primo shirt.

Ben: you can’t ’feel’ the face because it’s square and not torquing. Think how much you might improve by simply free rocking and not thinking about the face at all. Trust it, it’ll be square and you won’t manipulate it if you just trust that it is

Have you ever tried messing with different grip sizes on the rest of your clubs?

It’s big! That puts me off but when you said you can’t feel the face that was a bigger issue. How did you get comfortable with judging distance? I’m not saying it sucks but 1000.00 is a lot of money for the average person.

Surprised a shop had an upgraded lab just on the floor

I have the blade version. Had to get use to it but now really loving it.

Grabbed the lab link last month. I won't be going back to a traditional putter.

and u can make waffles, the og was kinda tingy light wt for me

the broomstick is even more ridiculously easy

You quickly get over the looks when you realize how many putts you’re making.

Mezz.1 Max has transformed my putting

Let’s go Ben!

The performance overrides the appearance all day.

Let’s say it’s 450. I could play 9 weekends in a row for that price at pretty nice courses in my area. I have a $30 used anser. I would like to try a heavier mallet though. Can anyone recommend an older cheap one? I still see 20 year old two balls with crumbling grips at my used store for 100. Should I just try a bargain brand to see if I like the style?

why not try the link 1
