All L.A.B. Putters will be a custom ordered and have a 2-3 week lead time. If you have your own custom requests, send an email to tom@dallasgolf.com.Research shows that 83% of a putt's starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter's face at impact (the path of the putter head controls the other 17%). Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology takes into account lie, angle, and weighting to create a putter that stays square to the arc throughout the stroke, delivering a square putter face at impact. Essentially, L.A.B. has created a perfectly balanced putter, eliminated torque, and, with no further adjustments, allowed golfers to make a consistent, repeatable putting stroke using far less effort.
Crafted with input from Adam Scott, the half-moon-shaped OZ.1 is the first Lie Angle Balanced putter with a tour-inspired design. Unlike L.A.B.'s other mallets, this putter features a solid-body construction and is fine-tuned to sound and feel more "normal." Most importantly, the OZ.1i maintains the same levels of forgiveness and stability L.A.B.'s mallets are renowned for, offering performance on par with the exceptionally popular DF3 and MEZZ.1 MAX.
The OZ.1 and OZ.1i are exactly the same in terms of size and shape. However, the i variant is the first L.A.B. putter model to employ a face insert. The stainless steel insert produces a firmer feel, faster ball speeds, and a less muted sound than the standard OZ.1.
L.A.B. outfits their putters with their own Press Grips, and for good reason. Almost all of the best golfers in the world employ a forward press because it helps the ball track faster and roll truer while reducing unwanted skidding and backspin. Unfortunately, positioning your hands ahead of the ball is difficult to learn and execute. Press Grips establish forward lean through the grip design, eliminating another putting stroke variable.
