I had a professional fitting today and got fit into a OZ.1i HS with 72* lie angle and 36” shaft, HS as I have a slight arc in my backswing, but they didn’t have any putters with my specs in store so I couldn’t try the actual model.

While putting with a similar OZ.1i with a shorter shaft and a slightly different lie angle I kept missing slightly to one side in particular, but they were saying my consistency is incredibly high with it in all the metrics, and they believe the slightly adjusted length and lie angle will do wonders for me.

Meanwhile I hit a DF3 insanely well and sunk almost every putt with it during the fitting, which the DF3 was the original putter I thought I would want.

Ultimately I trusted the process and measurements, as the fitter talked to two different types of fitting, either fitting to compromise (fitting a putter you like as best they can for you) or fitting to optimize (fitting a putter specifically for your body regardless of what putter it is). They said the OZ.1i HS fits my body, my swing, and everything perfectly.

I’m just second guessing because I loved the feel of the DF3 in store center shaft, but I want to trust the process and the science.

Someone tell me to chill out and it will all be good since the store has a 30 day play all you want and they will still give 100% store credit back if I don’t like it, so I can always swap it out if it feels off.

Thanks for hearing out my second guessing.

I’m between the DF2.1 and OZ1.i 0 degrees shaft lean. I’m leaning 2.1 for the stability and in my testing I didn’t have issues with distance control since the head is so big.

I’m trying to weigh the options between a big ugly putter that offers stability or a putter with an insert that has good stability and a better look, what would be better long-term for me?

I’m just curious on the feedback from other lab users. Thanks.

Have you guys changed grip for LAB putter?

Really would like to know what you think of normal grips with forward press?

And yes I know that thing about the balance and which weight range it has to be.

Also pictures could help me!

I recently posted about struggling with pulling putts with my Oz hs and am very appreciative of all the help and advice I’ve gotten but at this point I think it’s mental. I’m considering using a traditional putter for a couple months to see if LAB isn’t for me. Has anyone else done something similar to this or should I just stick it out? For reference I’ve been gaming it since December and am a 9 handicap.

I found a DF3 no insert with the TPT shaft at my local Edwin Watts. The previous owner had installed one of the Scotty Cameron Textured Grips that comes on their low torque lines onto it. The putter was $650– so it would be sweet to get a TPT shaft model for that price.

I was curious as to if this would have to be rebalanced by LAB as there is no telling if the had a 0 degree or 2 degree before. The putter balanced with the face facing left when I let it hand on my fingers. Just not sure how that affects the physical properties?

Been gaming the DF3 all year. Had some success but distance control has gotten out of whack. The softness off the face is bothering me a bit. Distance control in practice is pretty good.

Anyone gone back to blades or their old putter?

buying a df3i
length 36"
lie 67"

I know I want the press 2 grip, just undecided on which one....1.5 or 3 degree?

Anyone have any experience with either? pros/cons with each?

Does anyone have any experience with these two putters, perhaps been fitted for, or tested "side by side"?

I did the remote fitting with LAB and they put me at 69 degrees.

I was in Golf Galaxy putting with the Odyssey square 2 square putters and really enjoyed the Stripe version (similar look to DF3). The lie angle is at 72 degrees for that putter.

If I order the DF3.i or OZ1.i, should I order at 72 degrees? I just felt more comfortable and stable at that angle.

I have the OZ.1i 2° press (LAB pistol press grip).

I mentioned to the shop fitter when we were setting up the specs for my custom order that I had installed a 75g CounterCore weight in my (now old) putter SS grip but that I didn’t like the idea of LAB’s counterbalance option (which is a longer grip with the weight extending above the hands) and he said “oh I’m glad you said that. We’ll make sure the Heavier head weight option is selected for ya…”

Honestly, I was so explicit with what I said and he’d never steered me wrong in all the money I’ve spent at that shop, and I felt I (obviously) wasn’t thinking clearly… so I just went with it.

Now it’s driving me insane (I have this uncertain and inconsistent take-back wobble) and I don’t really want to send it back in as I’m about to start hitting full in-season stride mode…

So I tested taping some old counter core weights (about 80g total) to my grip, and it felt instantly smoother.

I saw there’s a new SS Zenergy Pistol Press grip, but I don’t believe it has the CounterCore or tech slots sadly…

TLDR: Can weights (Like Tour Lock or something?) be installed directly in the butt of the ACCRA shafts with the 2° press and still maintain the full LAB properties? Anyone know of a CounterCore compatible option?

Does anyone have a df3i weight setup for the heavier version? I want to change my weighting but I’m not sure if the ratios are the same. Has anyone taken the weights out to check?
