Why we like it
- Built on the familiar platform of the company’s original Directed Force putter, this gently downsized version maintains the zero-torque technology weighting that keeps the putter square to its lie angle through the stroke.
- Each putter is balanced individually through a collection of screw weights in the sole. The intent is to coordinate the putter’s center of gravity to the lie angle so that there’s minimal manipulation of the head required during the stroke to bring the face back to square.
- Milled from select aluminum for overall softness, this new version adds a stainless-steel face insert for improved sound and roll velocity.
- Those face inserts come in different milling patterns based on a player’s preference for feel and roll.
- The loop shape in the back, including the collection of six heel and toe weights, adds off-center hit stability.
- Top 5 in Performance, low- and middle-handicaps
- Models: DF3i. Head weights: 310-420 grams. Lengths: 32-38 inches. Loft: 2-3 degrees

Obviously unique looking, but it performs well. The appearance is something that takes getting used to, but I like the size of the face. Felt easy taking it back and through the ball. A nice consistent roll off the face. For me, better on short putts.

It's a little unnerving having this much club in front of you to try to hit a putt with. Despite that, rolled a few putts exceptionally.
Peter
58, Handicap 8

I would call it silently assertive. It's unassuming yet confidence-inspiring. The insert feels fantastic. It has a soft feel but not too soft. You do get feedback as you move away from the center. But, again, the ball rolls true. Distance control was terrific.

Great weighted putter in your hands. Heavy with a soft feel. Gives you a nice balance. When making a stroke, it stays on path. Dispersion was fantastic. Great on pace putts. Also, found it easy to line up on the shorter ones.

I understand a large mallet that's center-shafted can have value for people with unsteady putting strokes, but if you're a good putter with a specific kind of action, then you might end up fighting the putter as opposed to letting it help.
Robert

This has a firmer feel at impact. I don't typically go for a putter with a non-traditional design like this, but it looked good at address, framed the ball nicely and came off the face the same pretty much every time.
Jin

I like the feel. It's soft at contact, but I can also sense when I mis-hit it. Forgiving, though, and doesn't sacrifice a lot of speed. As for the design, I don't love how it looks, how the face is really big and then tapers with this massive hole in the back. The performance, though, was almost everything I'm looking for.

Fantastic technology idea, and I like how it's balanced. Almost everything rotates around the center shaft. The downside is that it didn't necessarily work for me and my stroke. I didn't make a whole lot of putts.
Todd
63, Handicap 13

Delivered on the promise of a balanced putting instrument with a center shaft and an effective alignment aid. The ball had a tendency to come off the face at slightly different angles, and that contributed to wider dispersion than expected.
Gary

It sits behind the ball comfortably. It's not heavy in my hands despite its large proportions. All I needed to focus on was getting it lined up to my target, then rock it back and through. Very stable from heel to toe. No twisting.
Andrew

Once you get over how it looks, it's really good fun. I don't quite understand the technology behind the shape, but something's working. It's powerful yet soft. Enough sound to let me know I'm hitting a solid stroke but muted enough to where it will never distract you. The more I used it, the more confidence I gained.
Wesley
31, Handicap 4

I know the intention of the L.A.B. putters are to be extremely stable for a square-to-square stroke. However, because I have an arc in my stroke, this putter feels off balance throughout the motion, like the face is idling between open and close.
Ryan
50, Handicap 10

The size and shape are certainly eye-catching. It's an acquired taste. The sound at impact is quiet, and the face imparts a pleasing end-over-end roll. For me, it performed too inconsistently on long putts, but I was lights out on the short ones.
Wayne

Lightweight but great energy off the face. With the zero torque, mis-hits still go fairly straight. You have to be careful not to use your hands because it's so light.
Ryan

Megan

Felt really easy to putt with. Minimal effort on my part. One thing that surprised me is that the alignment is minimal. Many of these putters have way too many lines. This one had one simple line, and that made it easy to get the ball in position correctly.
Scott

From the grip to the head, the second you pull the putter back, it feels balanced. It does a terrific job of preventing any twisting or unwieldiness in your stroke. Through the ball, there's a satisfying click, and the roll is smooth and reliable.
Matt

Like Bettinardi’s counterpart blade models, these mallet shapes display the zero-torque effect by keeping the shaft in line with the head’s center of gravity.
Weight is centered in the head by combining multiple materials, like in the SB2, or by using milled-out cavities in the sole to redistribute mass toward the front of the head, allowing the center of gravity to line up with the shaft axis.
That weighting increases the tendency of the face angle to stay square to the path of the stroke.

This traditional shape marks the first heel-shafted mallet in the L.A.B. Golf lineup yet still maintains the weighting that lines up the head’s center of gravity with the shaft axis for a smoother, more repeatable stroke.
The key to maintaining the putter’s zero-torque weighting is a lightweight hosel that changes in length as the lie angle and shaft length change so that the shaft axis still points toward the head’s center of gravity.
That hosel gets progressively taller as the lie angle gets more upright. In all, there are 10 hosel configurations to fit lie angles from 65 to 74 degrees.

These familiar shapes have a new face insert designed to combine the sound and feel of the legendary White Hot urethane insert with improved initial velocity and roll.
The new insert uses two layers of urethane—firmer underneath and softer on top—and grooves angled at 19 degrees to create quicker end-over-end roll.
The firmer underlayer uses an amorphous thickness pattern developed with the help of AI. The varying thick and thin regions, derived from more than 15,000 iterations, improve ball speed and control backspin on mis-hits.

Redistributed internal weighting, including a reformed sole cavity and plate, along with the angled shaft position, align the shaft with the head’s center of gravity so that the face angle naturally remains square to the stroke path.
The shaft angle’s built-in forward lean promotes consistent contact with the center of the face, a hallmark of the popular zero-torque philosophy.
A 2-degree forward-press grip features a reverse taper (wider lower on the grip and narrowing at the butt end). This helps the face stay square to the target by restricting hand action and encouraging a straight-back, straight-through motion.

Other zero-torque putters position the shaft well back of the face to line up the shaft axis with the head’s center of gravity, but this model uses massive internal weighting to push the shaft position nearly in line with the start of the face.
The front of the putter, which houses the face insert and the shaft connection, contains 141 grams of high-density tungsten to push 80 percent of the putter’s total weight in that front section.
The forward center of gravity allows the hands to put the putter in a more neutral address position with minimal forward shaft lean.

These mallets look to steady your stroke with multiple onset versions that match the shaft and the center of gravity. They also attempt to steady your mind with calming alignment features that promote confident aim.
The two onset models (Ally Blue, Ketsch) feature shaft positions back from the face but just in front of the center of gravity, which encourages pulling the putter through the hitting area instead of pushing it for a consistent stroke. The goal is to provide the feel of putting with a blade with the aim and stability of a mallet.
The alignment aid features a long line and a single dot. It’s a result of eye-tracking research that shows that combining a line and a focal point calms the vision right before the start of the putting stroke.

Rather than cast or forged, these putters use a metal-injection-molding process that converts a 304-stainless-steel powder to a mix that forms more precise shapes, softer curves and angles, leading to cleaner and more consistently produced finished putters that require little to no hand work.
The MIM process means more intricate consistency and finely contoured surface lines that frame the ball at address as a subtle alignment clue.
A new form of the soft but resilient Pebax elastomer makes up the face insert. This year’s version is slightly firmer for a less muted sound, but it still has a softer feel than the company’s 3DP Tour putters.

These zero-torque mallets are designed to reduce the need for deliberate face rotation in your stroke by moving the center of gravity closer to the face. They also include the benefit of reducing shaft lean through reverse offset heel-shafted hosels or center-shafted pin hosels for easier lie-angle adjustment.
As much as half of the putter’s weight is positioned forward using heavy tungsten heel and toe sole weights. This weighting lines up the center of gravity with the shaft axis for a more even stroke that requires only the rocking of the shoulders for the face to stay square to the path.
The benefit of the reverse-offset hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands well forward with an angled shaft.

The internal weighting and distinctive hosel shaping balance the head’s center of gravity with the shaft axis to improve consistency during the stroke.
In this version of zero torque, the head’s center of gravity is just inside the shaft’s connection point, reducing the torque on the head and face angle and placing the putter in a toe-up position. The center of gravity helps the club stay square to the path with little need for the hands to rotate the face back online.
The Allan ZT and Bat Attack ZT use an S-shaped hosel that positions the shaft axis in line with the center of gravity. The angle of the hosel realigns the hands into a forward press, making the straight-back, straight-through stroke more natural.

A heavy steel face paired with a lightweight aluminum body positions the shaft almost directly over the center of gravity, creating a head that naturally returns to square with little to no extra hand action at impact.
With parallel pronged wings, the curved SKx and straighter SBx naturally sit toe-up, making it easier to align the face square to the stroke.
Each model features the company’s alignment system. By aligning the shaft and a red dot on the heel side of the flange, golfers know the putter face is aligned properly, and the sole is flat on the ground to increase the opportunity for solid contact.
