The grace/breaking period is so important. After 5 rounds my putting went to next level with my Mezz1. Have had two 26 putt rounds in past month. Love it....
Yes absolutely 👍 it is a real thing.. it definitely takes a little bit of time. I still find myself every now and then doing a bad stroke where I try and guide it. But that's golf you're never going to hit every putt or every stroke perfectly..
All this. I have the LAB Link.1 and confidence is huge. BUT, I did notice that I left a lot of putts short initially because there is no face rotation augmenting the putter-swing-momentum; rather since the lab putter blade is "still", you are effectively hitting the ball with the pure momentum of the shaft with no added "flick" for lack of a better word. At least this is what I surmise. Unsure if that's reality but it's a thing.
Hey mate unfortunately the eye mini doesn't give VLA on putts but it's something I'd absolutely love! For putting depending on the green speed or how long the grass is will depend on how much VLA you want. Anywhere from .75 degrees to 2 degrees is ideal. When I had the GC3 I was seeing my VLA around 1 degree which would set me up nicely on quick greens 👍
add Will Zalatoris to the pro list Joe :-) Good video. If face control is your weak point (like me) getting a LAB putter is really a no brainer. Also I can chime in on the remote fitting.. It works. I have a Mezz Max since September last year, and now I only need to focus on speed. Reading the green was always my forte, and I spent too many years swearing at yet another ball not going on the line I had in mind, thinking high MOI mallets would cure it - when in fact I was fighting torque all the time. Took me a couple of weeks to adjust (I actually developed my own 'thumbs off' grip style) but now I don't want to go back ever.
I love that mate honestly that comment just resonates with me sooooo much. I love doing the thumb off drill but didn't think about just doing it as my grip completely. Yes I won't be going back.. it's definitely transformed my putting!! Thanks for the comment.
If you test the putter with exputt, can you please also check the speed against the eye mini. I have one on loan right now and the short putts seem way too short for me. It is hard to get any reads below 3.5 mph for me.
Hey mate from the testing I've done the speed seems better with the eye mini and the HLA seems better with the ExPutt!! Lol the ExPutt I have to hit harder to get the same distance in GS Pro which for me feels like I'm hitting it too hard on a stimp 12 green.
Purchased the mezz with 1.5 press grip early last summer. Seemed to work best on longer puts till i watched the thumbs out grip technique video from lab golf
It will definitely be an easier transition than what I had! You will notice a massive improvement on off centre hits! The thing just doesn't deviate! Lol and you will notice that there is no torque at all.. amazing putters
@@JLagGOLF it’s a game changer to your putting game and after you have a lab putter you will never use anything else I started with the df2.1 then got a mezz.1 love it but wish I would’ve know about the mezz maz that came out shortly afterwards haha
You really need to stop making me buy things 😂 random question but when you play Sgt rounds do you just use your eye mini for putting or do you still use ex putt ?
🤣🤣 These putters are the real deal! I use the eye mini as it all just connected up and it's one device. I would love to be able to use the exputt though lol
I was surprised you didn’t mention the center shaft. I have always looked for a putter with a center shaft as I felt they were more forgiving on horizontal launch angle. I’ve seen these LAB putters before, but can’t pull the trigger on the price until I have a consistent grip & putting stroke. Ii have a whole lot of tinkering going on right now in my short game. Is there going to be a good price on a used Spider on eBay soon, let me know LOL
That’s the beautiful thing about this putter is that its more forgiving and consistent than a regular putter. This will only help even more if you are struggling with consistency with your stroke. Get stuck in now! Lol invest… the way I rationalise it is I just spent near $1k for my driver and I only use that maximum 14 times a round and realistically it will only stay in the bag for 2-4 years.. If it doesn’t crack lol. The putter I can guarantee will stay in the bag for 5+ years at least and I use it well lets be honest about hopefully 25-30 times a round.
Thanks for another great video, Joe. Looking for a place to try a LAB putter out. I love the looks of the DF2 :-). Your new driver should show up in your videos soon :-).
Soo many people are switching I can't keep up! Lol good pick up I need to start scripting my videos and not doing them off the cuff 🤣 I did know about them

My wife walked in halfway while I was watching this and immediately said "you are not buying a new putter!!". I said too late.
Hahahahahaha 🤣 that's great

Just sold all my putters and going all in with my new Lab DF3 and a TPT shaft. This putter is the real deal. But I ain’t telling my golf buddies lol
Ohhhh that's nice! I'd love to try the DF3 is looks so much better than the 2.. maybe one day I'll have a few of them 🤣🤣
Glad you finally got it Joe - my ‘broom’ turned up and it is magic
Oh I'm jealous I'd LOVE to try the broom version.. and the armlock to be honest lol I think broom really makes sense with this technology
JLag. What is your VLA on putts. 10 feet. 20 feet. 30 feet and 50 feet.

@@JLagGOLF Welcome, and greetings from Holland for your nice channel!
Hey Jo,
Great video and very informative as always.
I've just ordered a Lab Mezz1 max with all the bells and whistles.
Can't wait to test it out!
Thanks Marto! You'll love it mate 👍

That's a fantastic drill I'm going to come out with a few drills with putting and the LAB stay tuned!
I'm waiting to pick mine up. Should be an easy transition coming from centre shaft putters
It will definitely be an easier transition than what I had! You will notice a massive improvement on off centre hits! The thing just doesn't deviate! Lol and you will notice that there is no torque at all.. amazing putters
These things are the craze right now.
Yes and for good reason the tech just makes sense! It's a really cool story about how the putters came to be.
Ive just bought the DF3. It was amazing it the fitting process. Just jope it works on the greens 😂
I am absolutely loving mine! Outdoors it's been great I'm finally starting it online now. Mezz Max for the win 🤣
Impressive video mate. Purchased a mezz max 1 as a result.
Hey Tony! Thanks for the comment mate 👍 you'll be dangerous with one of these on those Melbourne greens.. so pure.
Been using lab putter for 4 years now!! Everyone is figuring out the secret now!!
Honestly its incredible and I wish I knew about it 4 years ago!!!!

The DF2 is an absolute beast! It's incredibly stable!! The most stable putter they offer. The DF3 looks great as well.
Just went with the DF3. Can't wait to get it and start draining some long putts :-).@@JLagGOLF
That's epic! I'd love to try the DF3@@peekps
@@JLagGOLF Got it yesterday but struggling with it, pulls and pushes. Erg :-).
When you mentioned pros using at present you left out Will Zalatoris and Ben An.
Soo many people are switching I can't keep up! Lol good pick up I need to start scripting my videos and not doing them off the cuff 🤣 I did know about them
Fiiiiine. Got a mezz. Wish it could pick up the balls, but loving it otherwise. Need to put in some work on the exputt
That's amazing! Yeah if you're anything like me it will take a few weeks to learn how to not try and manipulate the clubface. I LOVE mine!
