I finally got my fitting and ordered a mezz. Came in at 35/67*.  But I got a couple of questions for @labgolf . I’ve never even seen a mezz, much less putted with one. My fitting was done on a 2.1. Do you guys have a return if the mezz isn’t all I hope it is. I have no problem with the 2.1. I just wanted the more conventional looking putter. Also, what is the shipping delay on the mezz? I was told 2-5 weeks. Could you narrow it down for me. Thanks in advance. 

we do have a 1 week return policy though we hope you'll keep it! All our putters are custom so taking returns is rough. It won't be as forgiving as your DF but much more wieldy. I like haing both as I seem to do a bit better on slick greens with the MEZZ. We are turning Mezz putter in about 2 weeks now.

More to come, but… I just got mine in.  I putt with a very flat lie and short putter. (32” 64* lie)  I’d say putting is definitely a strength, but this is the first putter that has ever felt right in my hands.  Im beyond stoked with the feel rolling it at home and the black Accra on the blacked out head just looks right.  Crazy how straight every putt rolls.  Hopefully it translates to the course!    Thanks to all the conversation in this forum that convinced me to jump on this bad boy!

What is difference between Mezz proto and production model?

 

When i asked that question in an email (I have the proto and was a little perturbed that the retail version came out $150 cheaper about a month after the proto delivered) here is what I was told:

 

"The putter you have has more expensive materials, tighter tolerances, and went through a much more significant quality control process. Additionally, as you can see on the bottom of your putter, it does have a serial number making it that much more valuable"

 

I doubt the demand for the proto is high and most people probably wouldn't notice a difference and it's not like it's a Scotty with high resale value.  After adding the Accra shaft, my proto was over $750!  I love the putter, but am bummed that I overpaid when I could have gotten one a month later for $150 less.  Yes... i'm sure mine is better made, but doubt the quality of the retail version is that much different.  Not gonna give up the putter for quite some time though!  You'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands!  🙂

I’m about 8 rounds in with the mezz. I’m coming from the df1. Loved the putter but sometimes I wouldn’t take a confident stroke just cause looking at the head I felt that it would just send the ball taking off. I know theoretically it was a normal waited club but the size of it.m was definitely causing inconsistent strokes (lots of short putts) 

I used the same specs for the mezz and I must say I’m rolling it well. Inside 6 feet are getting much easier. Keep in mind I’m a 7 index with a weak short game. I keep my index low because I can reach most par 5’s in 2 and usually go driver wedge or short iron on most holes. I never was a feel putter. Always mechanical straight back straight forward. The pace and  of the mezz is awesome. I’ve literally used every putter out there and this Is by far the best. 
if u do a little betting this putter will make your money back and then some!

Can't wait to get my Mezz. This season is all about the short game. You look at any pro winning nowadays they have an exceptional putting week and their strokes gained approach is generally off the charts. the Mezz i'm hoping will take a lot of the stress out of putts and just let the putter do it's job, allowing for more work in the short game to dial in those scores.

 

Wish we didn't have such long winter's here in Ontario.

Adam Scott in a Silver (unpainted?) Mezz.1 proto at the WM Phoenix open this week with his typical broom handle style grip.  @labgolf Any info?

Yep, its raw aluminum. We have a finished one on the way to him. This was supposed to be a proto that he ended up loving

I absolutely love my broomstick. Can’t wait to try the Mezz broomstick to see how it compares.

I hope Adam has a huge success with the Mezz Proto!

His is a one off proto we sent him just to start the design process. We have some in the works with his changes but he keeps liking this proto more and more.

[manVSgolf]

Lab, any estimates when us normal folk will be able to order a Mezz broomstick?  If you need a Guinea pig I’m willing to buy another proto 🙂

 

and for the love of god make that raw aluminum an option.  Adam Scott’s putter is perfection.

[hsmahon]

Any idea when/if the Mezz will be available on the outlet site? And will there be a cheaper “stock” option available similar to the other putters?

[manVSgolf]

An FYI for those interested - I was just able to order a Mezz broomstick.  They are finally up!!!  Armlocks too.

got the DF2.1 last year and I did not think that any other putter would make me change but the MEZZ Broom looks awesome... but need to save some cash first 😄

Its up now though be patient.. a little premature on the release but wanted to catch the Adam Scott wave! No plans to release raw. Its aluminum and scratches really easily and the scratches look terrible.

@labgolf Will the Mezz heads for the broomsticks be slightly larger in size like the B.2?

I had the same mental block with the my DF1 and DF2.1

 

I loved and hated my OG and DF2.1! I was too inconsistent and figured it out it was just me (the technology is amazing)... I think the head size it was visually messing with my mind. I would leave a lot of short birdie putts short then I would over compensate and blow it by next hole rinse and repeat. But for whatever reason I made a ton of BOMBS because I just swung freely. I finally gave up and just put my Anser back in (and sucking more at putting LOL)

 

I was going to try a BLad, but then the mezz is out now and it hit the one thing i just wanted to change was the size (I would of been fine with a mini version of the 2.1 too) ! I have one coming in as we speak!

 

glad to be back on the LAB train

Adam Scott off to a good start with the putter today. What shaft does he have in his Mezz broomstick?

Accra by LAB long

I have developed a little bit of what I would assume is a “yip”. Doesn’t happen that often, maybe a couple times a round but when it does it’s an ugly yank left. I guess my question is would this putter be good at fixing that issue? Also has anyone not putted well with it?

I truly believe that the yips are very often a reaction to torque. We have had lots of customers tell us that over time the twitch melts away. I would recommend the DF over the Mezz for this issue

Yeah I can’t do the DF. No disrespect but I would just as well miss a couple extra putts  a round then have to look down at that. Is there a reason that the mezz wouldn’t be as good

I find the idea of "look" to be so over-rated. To each there own but I'd never sacrifice strokes because it "looks weird". I'd hit a garbage can lid duct taped to a hockey stick if it was the most optimal thing to use.

I hear you but with me it’s not like a vanity sort of thing, it’s that I’m so ADD that having something that crazy looking down there kills me. 

[Liveonce]

Mine arrived today. Let’s see how it goes. Any set-up advice?

[wattage]

Great customer service! My Mezz was a bit loo light so I experimented w lead tape and contacted Philip at LAB. No problem he said, I sent it in with the tape on it and they matched it and sent it back, only cost was shipping it to them. I think it was a week total time and came back spot on!!

Thank You LAB once again.

Just ordered my mez1 broomstick…I’m very excto get this on the course. Love the short stick, but I don’t sweat the 4-5 footers with  the broom.

[tofur99]

got my mezz in the mail friday and just played my 1st round with it, only 15 minutes of practice beforehand.

 

Started every single putt on my intended line.  The ball jumps off the face more then my old putter so I was nuking some putts through the breaks, nothing some more practice won't fix.  4-5 footers feel automatic with this thing, just breezing them in.

 

Now to figure out how to read the greens better lol
