Top Picks for L.A.B. Golf Putters in 2025

L.A.B. Golf, a rising star in the golf equipment industry, has unveiled a range of putters that are making waves in the world of golf. Each putter in the lineup offers unique features designed to enhance performance and consistency on the green.

The MEZZ.1 MAX Putter

The MEZZ.1 MAX putter stands out for its soft, slightly hollow feel, thanks to the grooves on its face. This design provides exceptional roll on the ball, contributing to improved consistency when golfing from range. The putter also offers stability, forgiveness, and a natural urge to stay square to the target throughout the stroke, but comes with a premium price tag.

The L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Putter

The L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Putter, designed in collaboration with Adam Scott, boasts a half-moon, solid body construction. Available with a standard full aluminum face or a firmer feel stainless steel milled insert, this putter offers a compact mid-mallet design and a fly-milled, medium-depth stainless steel insert. The OZ.1i Putter is also available in a 0° shaft lean option.

The L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i HS Putter

A variant of the OZ.1i, the L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i HS Putter, features an aluminum riser entering the head towards the heel, a thinner topline, and a shorter alignment aid above the head compared to the regular OZ.1i model. This putter offers a confidence boost behind the ball and improved distance control on off-center strikes compared to other L.A.B. putters.

The L.A.B. Golf DF3 Putter

The L.A.B. Golf DF3 Putter, considered the most forgiving putter in the L.A.B. Golf lineup, sports a unique half-moon shape. This center-shafted, flat-bottom model features "Lie Angle Balance" technology for true zero-torque putters that stay square by themselves. The DF3 is available in stock or custom models, with eight different color options, a wide range of grip and upgraded shaft options.

The DF3's Unique Design

The DF3 sports a hollow, oddly shaped ring in the middle where the shaft connects, adding to its distinctive look. When used with the 2022 Titleist Pro V1x ball, it produces clicky acoustics and feels similar to the Scotty Cameron Phantom or Odyssey Ai-One Milled putter.

Testing and Performance

In testing, the brand's claims were justified as the DF3 felt like it had a mind of its own, with exceptional control and forgiveness on off-center golf strikes. The L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Putter also demonstrated exceptional feel and sound, making it a strong contender in the putter market.

Considerations When Choosing a New Putter

When choosing a new putter, factors to consider include feel & sound, weighting, grip, looks, and value. With L.A.B. putters, customization options offer some choices in terms of face inserts and milling to suit personal preference for feel and sound.

L.A.B. Golf on Tour

L.A.B. Golf putters are represented on Tour by Will Zalatoris, Adam Scott, and Phil Mickelson. Other brands such as Odyssey, Evnroll, and Bettinardi have also created their own versions of zero torque putters or low torque putters.

Testing by Golf Monthly

The Golf Monthly team tests putters outdoors on real greens with a variety of premium golf balls to get a full understanding of design features, feel, sound, and looks. The team's reviews and experiences with L.A.B. Golf putters will provide valuable insights for golfers considering an upgrade to their putter.
