Do the online fitting. They will email you the results within a few days. Then you can search the outlet for one in your specs.

Thank you! Just ordered my DF 2.1 after getting the specs from the super simple online fitting, the hype is real. That is one amazing team over at @labgolf

New LINK.1 is now available as part of a limited run of 500 putters. Retail is $750 which makes sense for a limited run. Hopefully regular retail will settle around $500 in a few months.

Loving the look of the LINK. Would be even better if those screws on the toe weren’t visible at address, but I understand they are functional so it doesn’t bother me.

 

Unfortunately no left handed availability in this limited run. Also hoping the retail price with standard shaft is closer to 500…

You won';t even notice the screws. Give it shot!

I was struggling a bit with my df 2.1 and went to thumbs off even when I play and it has (so far) made all the difference.

I broke my 2.1 accidentally.  Stepped on the BGT shaft. Damn a ram.  About to order another.

My putting was terrible for YEARS until I went to a DF and adopted the Instinct Putting method of looking at the hole while putting.  Game changer!  Forgiveness and MOI is very important with this style.  Does anybody have any measurements on how much less forgiving the Mezz MAX is vs a Directed Force?

Does anyone else have extreme issues putting from shaggy fringe of municipal courses? Obviously not the best putter but I either am well short or hit the putt like a driver. For reference I’m also dealing with issues with controlling down hill speed. 

try to control your speed with the length of your backstroke and let the putter almost fall into the ball. With our tech, using rapid acceleration from long range can make the putter feel vague from long range.

Agreed....started with thumbs-off as a practice drill and it is so effective that I took it to the course.  It seems that for decades I've used thumb pressure to square / manipulate the putter to square (or something approaching square ha ha!), and removing that lever has really helped.

Yes. I shipped via ShipSticks (in a standard Club Glove soft bag, no less). No issues.

What kind of adjustment period is there switching to the LAB putters?

 

Obviously depends on a number of factors but for me it was 2 months. I would practice inside and get comfortable with my putter (DF 2.1) but then get nervous over 4-6 footers and I missed a TON of short putts the first month. I had to go "thumbs off" all the time (I must be addicted to torque) both in practice and in actual play to stop manipulating the face. Now I feel better with the DF 2.1 than my previous putter (Seemore FGP). The lag putting was always good but it was the close putts that I was consistently missing for a while. YMMV.

My MEZZ gets in today, bought it off of Classifieds but never used one before. What kind of adjustment period is there switching to the LAB putters?

Go to LAB's YouTube and watch the videos. They are very helpful. The thumbs off is really helpful to show you that less pressure is beneficial.

I would agree. Lag putts were instantly better for me.  Inside 6’ was a different story.  Took me some time to get used to my DF2.1 from close.

I think this will be a huge seller for LAB. I putted with a prototype of it.  I am not a blade person.  I like the DF2.1 more than all due to its incredible stability.  That said, the Mezz is doing well ( I believe) because it’s better looking than the DF2.1. This LINK will be just that.  The link to their success.  Getting all the “it’s too ugly” to use folks out of the way and no reason not to try it.  The proto felt real nice.   I assume this will be huge for them.

Received my Mezz Max Broom, well one practice session in and I can really feel thr just rocking the shoulders feel like my hands are completely out it. Made 20 8 foot putts in a row which I have never done with my drills.

Hopefully it continues but incase it doesn't I picked up a DF 2.1 in my specs just incase.

Congrats on the new Broomstick. Love my DF Broomstick. Would like to try a Mezz Max Broomstick for fun, but don’t see the DF leaving my bag.
