Thanks you for the video. Excellent advise. The one handed putt is a great practice for all putters. It's a totally cool looking putter too and I can see it's advantages to others. It's funny, but I'm now in a rebuild mode to replace my mat after getting 3 weeks on the E.M.Lite and dropping 10 strokes due to putting. I kid you not. But good news! I'll be at Valhalla for the PGA Championship 2024 next week! WooHoo! NO not as an player, but we have dreams. Our home town course. It should be a blast.

Recently switch back to my previous ping anser blade for a few rounds and was surprised at how my puts had seemed to improved after close to a year of using the lab exclusively👍

Got my DF3 last week and played it for the first time today. Had some really great putts and some really bad ones where I instinctually tried to manipulate the face. Thumbs off really shows off what these putters do, great tip!

Agree with the thumbs off, Sam Hahn himself also has a video on it. I even putted like that for 2 months: I lifted my bottom hand thumb and placed my top hand thumb on the left wrist - to keep my hands connected. Since 2 weeks I place my bottom hand thumb back on the shaft, fully vertical, no pressure. My remaining challenge is that the total lack of torque makes the head FEEL a LOT lighter than it actually is, so speed is tricky....recently trying to deliberately not hit the middle to take something off... face is still square enough to get the ball on line.

I have thought about taking the thumbs off and putting like that lol I've also thought about getting one of those 2 thumb grips to see how that is but tbh I love the forward press grip. Is yours the heavy version or just standard? It's funny these putters do swing weight a lot heavier than normal putters to try and counter the lack of tourqe.

Great video. Thanks! You have me trying to putt in the sim. I’m starting to enjoy it. Before your videos, I would just Auto Putt. Can you make a video going over the different data tiles you use? HLA for putting has been a good addition.

Interesting video, thank you. I'm going for A l.a.b. Fitting in 3 days, I may incorporate your thumbs off tip into the fitting. And if I decide to buy one, for sure be drilling those tips for the adjustment period. Thanks again!!👍

Thanks mate! Good luck with the fitting and yes for when you get your putter there will most likely be a break in period but stick with it because when you get used to it there's no way you will go back!

Fantastic tips I got a DF3 and have been struggling

Thanks mate! Yes there is definitely an adjustment period. Stick with it and hopefully the thumbs off drill give you that really nice feel to where you're not manipulating the face. Cheers

I too got custom fit for a DF3. It took a several weeks before I realized I was putting like my old way of manipulating the putter. I started practicing with thumbs off method and the putts started dropping. I can’t wait to get to the greens now. Went from a 14 index to 11 in the past month. Love my DF3.

With shaft lean built into the grip where does L.A.B recommend you line up the club in your stance? Is it with the ball in the middle, is it with the club face in the middle or is it with the shaft in the middle of the stance. Maybe you could do a video on what you have found to be the best.

@JLagGOLF

Unfortunately there isn't one answer to it. It's going to depend on how you deliver the clubface back to the ball. The intent for the pre-set forward shaft lean is to really promote that upwards strike on the ball. For me I've found the best position to be the forward of my stance and if you have a launch monitor you really want your VLA to be between 1 and 2 degrees.

Great video, Joe! I was getting fitted for a new driver a few months ago and was hitting a Mezz while I was waiting for the fitter. It was the easiest hitting putter I have ever played. If I hadn't replaced my driver this year, I would have gotten that putter. By the way, did you create the course in this video yourself or did you have someone build it for you? I like that grid for practicing putting speed.

Thanks mate! Yes the only thing with them is the cost.. but that being said for the price vs other clubs it's something I will have in the bag longer than any of the others so it's a good investment lol. Yes the new facility is something I'm working on and will release the details soon 👍👍

I went to Golf Galaxy to try a DF3 & the MEZZ LAB Golf putters and was surprised at how light it felt. I hit a few on a Perfect Putter mat and did surprisingly well. Then I used it on their indoor putting green and I quickly realized you should add a 4th skill to your putter list and that is ALIGNMENT. On the mat I literally dropped one 8’ after another but I had a line on the mat pointing me in the exact direction to the hole. Out on the floor there were no straight white lines to the hole and the make rate dropped, a lot. I hit the putt, square, at the intended speed, but my alignment didn’t match the read. Without the lines on the mat, my straight stroke sent the ball perfectly in the wrong direction. That was when I decided until I can fix my alignment issues the lab putter wasn’t going to help me very much and I left the store a little frustrated. Maybe someday I’ll have a LAB putter. but sadly not right now, Any suggestions?

This club heavily relies on the lie angle being fitted for you. Hard to pull this club off the rack and judge the alignment if it’s not fitted. I’d just focus on the feel at the pro shop and the alignment of your putts come from getting the correct lie angle fitted.

Also, check your eye dominance. Sounds like you are having trouble finding the line from address. Also make sure your eyes are right over or inside the ball by an inch.

Thanks for the vid Joe! I’m trying to get better with my mezz. Any reason to not just always putt with the thumbs off to avoid manipulation of the face?

@JLagGOLF

Ай бұрын

Honestly you can do this! I find myself on some short putts doing it. You'll get there mate it's definitely a different feel for me it's like I'm just trying to get the front of the grip facing away from me at the same angle 90 degrees the whole time.. so the grip doesn't twist at all if that makes any sense at all.

@Romi247

I putt with the an underhand grip with the palms up and the thumbs on the side of the putter grip which removes lots or wrist hinge. It is like rocking a baby stroke. Worked well with my old evnroll putter that had the gravity grip. Slight adjustments with my mezz but works well.

great video, Joe. how can i download your practice facility with this putting ladder?

I'm interested in a broomstick model. Any thoughts on how to decide what length is best--or lie angle?

@JLagGOLF

27 күн бұрын

Id LOVE to try the broomstick.. I think it makes so much sense for this LAB technology. For lie angle it will be 80 degrees as that's the legal limit for putters. And with broomsticks the whole point is To try and get it as upright as possible. For the length the best thing to do is to get your driver and set up in a broomstick position and your three would and feel if that is nice. It's all explained on the LAB website.

What is the putting course you used with the ladders? Really want to try this out?

What shaft do you have? If the TPT, what improvements did you see with that shaft? Great video

I have a the ACCRA and love it. Ive had the standard steel shaft one as well and the ACCRA is just stiffer and offers a bit more stability. You notice it mostly on the long putts when you miss hit them.

I have the TPT shaft in my df3 The difference is in the immediate feedback, you can feel/hear the purity of stroke in real time. It’s not tinny or hollow like the Accra shafts were in my testing but gives more info back to the user

Wow great video.. I bought my LAB about 3 months ago, my putting is better.. 1.3 stroke per round, statistically. but after listening to this video, I went out tonight just allowing the putter to do what it does.. and it's so much better.. just thinking about distance control, and working on a smooth stroke. 🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♀️😍
