LAB DF3: Discover 2 Secrets to Making this Putter Work
The L.A.B DF3 putter is creating a lot of buzz and interest among golfers, but some players misunderstand or are confused by how the L.A.B DF3’s lie angle balance works. Let me explain and show you how lie angle balance works, and share 2 secrets to making your L.A.B DF3 putter work better so you can hole more putts.

Good and honest review David! The first one on the YT channels. Not the standard review that the DF3 is the best putter ever etc. I am going to a fitter, more out of curiosity to see if the DF3 can beat my current gamer – SC Golo6! Appreciated sir!
Will I push a putt with this putter?
Great Video. I have had my DF3 for 7 Months now. My handicap Varys from 11 to 14 . I can honestly say this putter has improved my game. I put with my thumbs off the grip, very loose grip also. For really long puts I am so confident the face is square at impact I look at the hole instead of the ball and I am always within 3 foot of the hole and some drop also. Love it -)
great review. thanx.
So you relax line up your putter face to the line on the ball.
The ball you have previously lined up to the line you have chosen.
Then stroke the ball with a natural movement and let the putter get you back to the ball square – right ?
I an a fairly solid putter, had this 2 rounds and its made me even more confident. Long putts ended up pin high if they missed, short putts haven't missed. Love it.
I tried one and I couldn't find it remotely closer than my current one… Not sure I can untrain myself to make it work…
Excellent video, David. How to use the LAB is just as important (and not well covered in my opinion) as why the science it incorporates is so effective. Thanks for doing this.
I’m about 3 months in with my new DF3. I was fitted by a LAB pro here in the UK and waited 9 weeks for delivery. It was well worth the wait and the cost. As a 3 h/cap, I considered myself a ‘poor’ putter before the DF3. I now consider myself a ‘good’ putter. I too loosened my grip (tough after 50 years of strangling the thing) & just concentrate on rocking my shoulders. My 4-6ft makes have increased dramatically and so have my 20ft+ make % to the extent that I don’t think it’s just luck. The ball goes where I aim it so more long putts find the hole or are ‘near misses’. I am willing to bet more top pros will be putting this in their bags next season
This is so wrong. Ask Sam at LAB. Face doesn’t open and close like you’re doing. To time that is really hard.
Thanks! I've been working on loosening my grip on my DF3 and your suggestion confirms that it's something worth pursuing.
My golf spy's testing shows these putters are the best, but it's a lot of money to have it only save 1/2 a stroke over 5 rounds of golf.
I believe your video is misleading for the audience. LAB putters mainly reduce the influence of the hands on the head itself. The choice between a straight stroke or an arced stroke depends on personal preference, but clearly, a straight up-and-down stroke is more recommended. When the club is still, the forward-facing head is simply a result of balancing this technology, but it is not the technology itself. For example, Edel and PXG Allen putters focus more on forward-facing technology, so their clubs still have some imbalance.
I’m waiting for the oz.1 proto
Did the research and compared to other putters. It works as advertised. I make better putts. Less putts be round, fewer three putts, missed putts are closer so easy two putts.
My problem with the term “lie angle balanced” implies that the lie angle stays in line to the path, not the face angle. Otherwise they would have called it a Face Angle Balanced putter. Or are they just saying, whatever your lie angle is (69,68,70, 71, etc) we will make sure we balance it for you, and whatever is making the face angle stay in line with the path is the “zero torque” tech of the putter?
Nice review, thank you
Over the summer I was remotely custom fit with LAB for my DF3. The remote fitting was super easy, i sent LAB a video of my putting stroke with my previous gamer a Odyssey Jailbird 380 (limited edition) and they emailed me a couple of days later saying i need a 72 deg lie angle. I went with the following options: counterbalanced, heavier head, 36 inches, NN Head marking, 17 in. Superstroke LAB grip. black ACCRA shaft. Being 5 ‘ 6 “ tall I play it choked down about 2 inches. Putter is lights out. The key is to get the correct lie angle, spending big money so I needed to make sure it was fit for my lie angle. The head is so balanced it feels great knowing I don’t have to manipulate the head the head to keep it square at impact. The only thing is to be concerned about is speed and line.
I switched to the DF3 after quite a bit of testing and the technology works, putting from distance is the only challenge I've encountered, inside 10 feet it is deadly
Do you have any thoughts or videos on the other LAB putters ie Mezz 1 blade which I use blades all my life
Ive been watching more of your videos. Ive commented previously on the DF# and the ALLAN. (wasn't a gif gan). saw some stills of the a LAB prototype. Smaller footprint than the DF3. Question of the day: When a bought the DF3 i upgraded to the black ACCRA shaft. The fitter told me to do it but not entirely sure why. Any thoughts to shaft upgrades in putters? Thanks.
