- Have we been lied too about face balanced putters?
Do faced balanced putters (as we know them) even stay face balanced during a putting stroke?...
In today's video we're testing the NEW LAB LINK 1 PUTTER which does stay face balanced during a putting stroke, but will we be able to feel anything during testing?...
#facebalanced #putters #golftips
I’ve been using the DF2.1 since last May and would never think about changing back . Did the remote fitting and can’t fault anything from L.A.B they were first class for the very first email , Scores have dropped considerably but again if you can’t read greens or judge pace correctly it doesn’t matter what you use .
Definitely a 10/10 from myself ⛳️
The technology behind these putters is that they really are for Everyone regardless of their stroke, because of it being balanced on the Lie Angle, the face will stay square to whatever stroke you have be it straight back and through or even more of an arched stroke.
I did think that as when I was rocking it, it arced slightly into square to in itself.
Gary I've recently bought a new putter for 125 quid. It works very well , it's the most expensive club I've ever bought.
I love golf but the money being talked about is obscene and any tight Yorkshireman would not indulge.
Mine is a Taylor made spider but I call it my Scotty Rotherham .
You boys obviously have more money than sense,but good luck to you keep on bringing golf to the masses
I always think if you can't walk into a green & read it & get a feel for the pace of it then it won't matter what putter you use,
I keep looking at these, but then look at the price, but having said that I have spent 270 euros on a Odyssey White Hot Versa Double Wide Blade 6 months ago then had a putt with a Odyssey White Hot Versa Twelve CS mallet and ended up buying it!!! Another 270 euros, that’s 540 euros in 6 months on putters 😢 We all love a better mouse 🐁 trap don’t we? Add to that a new Mizuno 260 Max driver this month ( fortunately I got the driver at trade price ) but I’ve still done in almost 1000 euros in the last 6 months!!!
It’s always the operator, but if you have a cheap Chinese shifting Spanner you will always do your nut in!!
Good review Gary.
I bought the LAB Mez Max, withe full fitting and upcharge graphite shaft. It’s the best feeling, easy to line up and a great confident strike. I put in an arc. Best putter I’ve ever used, even better than my Kramski. It cost me £640 and I DON’T regret it.
Wow! That definitely sounds like a justified purchase! As much as a lot of people can’t fathom spending £600 on a putter, I’m yet to here a bad review from anyone that’s purchased one 👀
Just bought the DF3. only played 3 rounds and getting used to it. Love it so far. More putts online
I've had this putter for about 10 months and love it. Struggled with it for the first 3 rounds then it just clicked and don't think I'll be changing for a long long time.
I’ve got the Mezz Max Gaz. Absolutely love it and you got it tight in the video, for best results let the putter do the work and don’t try to manipulate it
I bought a DF2 putter Feb last year. It’s fantastic and my putting has improved enormously. Well worth the investment.
Some good info, I have a SiK putter and when held up to see balance it is very toe heavy. I have a straight back and forward putter swing and it feels incredibly smooth. Shot my best round ever last year as well
I’d been considering this, I have a really lovely-feeling buttery Tour Edge Eden, which is a steal at $100 and very traditional blade. I’d been pulling my short and nervy putts until I saw a video and guide that recommended tucking the elbows and that has drastically improved all of my putting the past couple of weeks. I think the person holding the club dictates more than the club.
I would agree, the person holding the club dictates more than the putter and therefore any purchase should be justified by performance. Technology alone isn’t going to fix anyone’s issues.
Got the Mezz 1 Max last year, love it, putting has improved immensely. Think it has to do with confidence !
I’m using a Nike Method Core putter that I purchased from Play It Again Sports in the US. I purchased it for $44.00 and they put a new grip on it for me. The face has an insert that feels very nice. Of course I might go back to my old putter next week
... If it's not going in the bag Gary... Happy to borrow this putter for testing 👍 I'll even collect it from you . I will give me it then long test it deserves under competition conditions.
If it’s not staying in the bag I have to re sell them to keep being able to buy new gear. None of it’s free atm ☹️ sorry
@@garymartingolf ... I must have mis heard. I thought they sent you this to test! My bad ... You need to get a golf gear company to sort you out. Save you the hassle of reselling . Like you said in the video. I want to try these without parting with all the cash. I think if LAB did open days they would see a pick up in sales and customers. It's a bit of a gamble buying it blind . Like you said . Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
I have a Link and it’s fantastic. Note that the two screws where the shaft and head meet are not anodised and will rust
I love mine. I had a large grip put on mine. It takes time to learn not to manipulate the the stroke.
Bought this putter last summer .. best buy ever .. it’s FANTASTIC … needs a different stroke .. don’t try to manipulate it .. straight back and forward and watch the ball drop !!!
Josh’s channel is great. 👍 If you look at all the great putters in history, they used blade putters that most people would struggle with today! 🤷♀️
I could never fathom why so many golfers are more than willing to spend £500+ on a driver which they may use 10-12 times in a round but scoff at paying £400-£500 on a putter that they use 36-40+ times in a round. Their priorities are all wrong to me.
I do agree! I don’t think this will ever change lol 😂
I'll stick to my old Odyssey "White Steel" No5. Haven't found a putter that feels better for me. Well, my brother's "Scotty" feels amazing, but I'm not spending £450 on a second hand putter.
The odyssey white steel number 5. Love that head shape. Odyssey are such a good putter designer.
Crazy price , Cleveland milled putter , great feel and great value , all in shaft versions were even better ,can be had on certain sites for decent money !!
I picked one up on ebay for 300...knowing if i didn't like it, i would probably get my money back...didn't like the link 1 put it back on ebay sold for 325!...i then bought the mezz on ebay with the same thought...the mezz has simply transformed my putting and putting confidence, its in the bag.
This seems to be a common story! The lab 1 was a trade in from someone who’d fell in love with a mezz! I’ll have to try one of them 👌🏼
@garymartingolf as I'm a self diagnosed poor putter I have seen massive gains, not sure what a pro would gain...although saying that Phil Mickelson saw a difference he went from a tiny blade to the LAB DF 3.0 (I couldn't use that)
£100-plus for an upgraded shaft in a putter? I get the importance of the correct shaft in woods and irons. But for a putter? Will a different shaft really help hole more four-footers?
I tell you what, you’ve got me intrigued! I would love to know how any exotic putter shaft brand justifies their product! I’ll keep that in mind for future videos!
Have always been a good putter and used a Scottie. Picked up a PXG Spitfire for $100 canadian, and havent 3 putted once in 5 rounds on still winter greens.
Fantastic putter review Gaz and I loved the by ending 😂😂, I like the look of that putter and I could easily game it
Mezz max has been a game changer for me. You definitely have to let the putter do the work
I have the DF2.1 and have had the Mezz. I prefer the Evenroll Er Zero. Similar idea but feels better IMO
Thanks Gary. And thanks for the content. I never miss.
I play the axis 1 putter. The same putter Justin Rose played. It took a bit getting used to with the unorthodox look of the potter itself. But all in all it’s pretty stable and I do like the feel of the putter. Been playing with it since and like everyone, I’ve played a multitude of different name brand putters. But I’ve stuck with the axis 1.
I have the big satellite looking one. love it! Honestly 4-6 strokes better 😮. Lag putting is improved greatly.
I have a torque balanced putter from Edel, and Edel e-3 and it's a toe up at an angle balance but it is super balanced when you swing it for a putt. Much like the lab. But the labs feel a little bit different. I've tried the mez and link and I'm gotta stick with my e-3 Edel
I got fitted at Scottsdale Warrington for £20, tried all the LAB range. Settled on the Mezz 1 and it is a fantastic putter. £480ish all in. Standard shaft. I would have needed an upgraded shaft if id gone for the Mezz Max , as i lost the feel of the head with standard shaft. The feel is lovely and the weight. It won't be leaving my bag. You need to slightly adjust your technique in that the hands need to be softer /looser grip and let the face balance do its job. All that's left is pace and line😂 Honestly, I won't go back.
I got a mezz max after initially looking at the Link 1.
I just thought the mezz was easier to line up, only used it once but felt good and holed a couple of decent longer putts.
I got mine from Guy Wills the pro at fulford golf club in York.
Still playing my trusted Yes callie.
What a putter brand! Such a-shame! I had the Tracy 2 🤤
Gary and James. Give them a try and most particularly, James is right on with trying the mallets or larger designs. Personally I don't care the comments I get from my "buds", I have more confidence, and sink more puts (and for the very most holes, I take their money LOL).
Recently converted to a LAB putter (DF3) can’t see myself ever going back
Gaz, how about a re-test on fast greens. Most greens at this time of the year can be a bit bobbly at times. ( My course just aeriated ). So "testing" putters now may not be as valuable due to the conditions.
I took the jump last year and bought the DF 2.1. Did the free online fitting and don't think I'll use anything but a LAB putter. #labgolf #untorqueyourself
Again, I’ve never seen a negative comment from a user.
@@garymartingolf It worked some magic for Lucas Glover 🤷😁They're definitely gaining popularity very quickly
I love my DF 2.1. The big boy.
Bought one in October last year and after a lot of practice and putting with thumbs off when practicing I am canning some ridiculous putts.6 feet and in I found i hardly miss , pick the correct line it does square up with limited grip pressure. I would say that if you use a heavy putter this is not for you .
Would you not think that an appropriately weighted Cure putter would produce the same motion?
My mate is a member where some people have more money than sense ,( Ryder cup course in Wales ) stay with me. One of said members got the L.A.B Mez putter , hated it so sold it to my mate for a huge loss.
I had a round with my mate and he let me have a go , the look alone just put me off 😀
Love your matches together, keep it up
I don't know, for the level of golf I play, and the fact that I never play comps, I'll stick with my Mizuno.
I had the Mezz putter with upgraded shaft but didn't get on with it, my distance control wasn't there and i found i had to change the way i putted to get the best out of it.
I have just got the new DF3 its fantastic
Pricing is ridiculous
It takes alot of justifying unless you have more money than sense.
Great video Gary! Are you gonna get me fitted one day 😄
My putting is still horrible …
Hi Gary thanks but I think seemore is the 'first' face balanced putters on the market. They have a mini giant df that is face balanced on impact. You reviewed 1 long before lab became the new got to have putter.
Sorry, I did word that bad, lab isn’t the only face balanced putter in the world, it’s the most faced balanced from the information available. ** zero torque
Gary, how does this LAB putter compare to the Seemore you were fitted for which is supposed to be balanced in the stroke position
Well done gaz
That price is ridiculous…for that much I’d better not ever miss a putt again 🤪🤪🤪
Have you tried the ping pld putters love to know your thoughts on them
I haven’t tried their most recent model, but I might do a putter test including them.
Dosnt stop you pushhing or pulling puts
I play mezz1 max !!
I realised that on the last putt 😩
This may go against the general consensus off today's golfer, but there is too much technology in golf now, and it's all to get more money off amateur golfer's.
Just find something that works for you, putting especially is more about personal feeling.
£650_£700 for a putter, sorta sums that up 😮
Don't know if I could justify the outlay
I must say, that’s the key to spending on new golf gear, it must be justified or otherwise don’t swap. 👌🏼
Enjoying my £29 Wilson 8813
Gary, can you give us 5 second hand putters for less than £50 each?
How long before it's in the bag mate
I can’t justify it to be honest. I’m putting great, but I know they’ll be a lot of people out there looking for high end putters this season.
@@garymartingolf I just passed my old sabertooth on to the boy. What I got the new odyssey #1 ai.
And then out
Think I’ll keep my Evnroll Guys 😀
Clean those shoes Gaz...! at least you won the long drive comp....!
Using 2.1 amazing putter the weakest part of my game is now the strongest part
Get us booked into Scottsdale 😂😂
I’ve tried to contact them again.
@@garymartingolfcant you book it online at scotsdale?
In general, if you can't putt, there is nothing out there that will really help u, I'm quite a good putter, and can putt with anything.and paying over £600 for a putter, you will have more money than sense. 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t spend it or recommend anybody spending it unless they can personally justify it with performance gains. If you can putt with anything, then obviously, there’s absolutely no point in spending anymore than you need too.
Yeah.. it a like spending 100k on a Land Rover when you could buy a Dacia for 25k....
Disagree..you can teach anybody to putt.. what you can't teach is feel
LAB Putters are not "face" balanced - they are completely balanced. All Putters have more weight in the toe - LAB Putters are evenly balanced across the entire head. Find a dealer with a Revealer and you'll be amazed comparing your putter to a LAB putter.
@@golfingCitizenno it isn't.
Designers catching golfers. Remember if your don’t swing the missus round someone else will keep her happy buddy. 😂😂lol
I know, I know 😂 My putter collections up for sale! 😅
Sorry but they're taking the piss
What a terrible title totally misleading , At what point in the video do you say do not buy it ?,and what lies have we been told?
Also its not face balanced as such , the clue is in the name LAB lie angle balanced.
I have had on for two years and would not change for anything else on the market.
You played two holes on pretty rough greens, not really a genuine test.
Normally like your stuff but this is below your normal standard
Expensive use the money go get a lesson 😂
