Who’s gonna win The Masters?

I would putt with a traffic cone that sounded like an air horn with each stroke if it meant less 3 putts

"It's probably the best putter I've ever used, but it looks ugly, so for that reason it's not in the bag." The vanity of golf is real.

Me: Already searching for one online ..m Rick: $425 Me: Closes browser.

I know Peter Finch is watching this video very intently right now 😂, careful what you say Rick

I've been playing one of these for a couple of years and I can't imagine ever replacing it (unless it's another of the same type). A couple of weeks ago I pulled out another putter (expensive one!) and tried to hit a few putts just for the heck of it. I was like the putter was ALIVE. I couldn't keep it straight! The lie angle balance is not a gimmick...it's amazing. There are a couple downsides: the putter is not great in strong winds (too much surface to blow around), and the cover is horrible (wears out in months). That said, it is the best putter ever as far as I'm concerned.

Rick: " I am not going to show you the putter just yet" Also rick shows montage of him using the putter 10 seconds before.

At $425, that putter costs more than my entire golf bag right now. Strata beginner set, added a top flite 4h on sale, 2 Wilson wedges, and a $30 Amazon-special putter... And yet here you have me searching for a $400 putter. I guess that means great video lol

I just tried this putter out at the store, I’m not a good putter in any regard but this thing feels fantastic in the the hands. It gives great feed back an the grip is very comfortable, it’s such a neutral feeling club in the hands an I sunk more 10 foot puts in 20 mins than I did ever. This putter is on my Christmas list for sure

I got to try a Directed Force at a local store before I actually knew anything about it. My initial impression was how tension free it feels to use it. I think it would suit a wide variety of players as it remains so perpendicular to the target line through the stroke.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” Funny thing is; the more putts you sink, the more beautiful she becomes.

Great video Rick, that looks like a game changer. Always have been a big fan of face balanced putters, but this is taking another step, looks awesome.

I know I mentioned that putter a few weeks back. Glad you did a review. I saw that Finch was using it as well.

I have one and I definitely feel like my putting has improved. The face not twisting makes quite the difference.

Been using one of these for more than a year. It's the real deal. Went from an evnroll mallet which I loved. I use arccos so I have my real putting stats and they show a tangible difference. Have been trying to convert my bro and dad but they can't get past the look. If you aren't bothered by looks all I can say is pick one up ASAP.

Thank you Mr. Shiels I was debating on getting this putter I still might. But I’ve got the Scotty for now. Also because I’ve listen to you I have fixed my slice. Thank you so much for sharing your professionalism with us. A day at golf never goes without mentioning your name

Great review Rick, received mine today, I also have the Evnroll ER5 black but still push or pull to many putts, hopefully this will help eliminate those, can’t wait to get it out on the course

About time you make a review on this putter I heard a lot of good things about it ❤️⛳️

I've had the mallet and blade. Now have the newest blade (same just more streamlined). The tech is real!

Hey Rick I just got into this sport and your vids helped me a LOT keep up the good work

I got fit into the Blād this summer and benefits were immediate on the course! I ended up grabbing a mallet, mainly out of curiosity, and have since fallen in love with that one over the Blād. The more you get used to relaxing your grip, letting the putter swing, and not feeling that attempt to twist in your hands, the more you get away from being able to even pick up a standard face balanced or toe hang putter again!

“It’s the putter you’re using’s fault” Ahhh dang it time to buy another Scotty

Me: misses 1 foot putt by 20 yards Company: it’s the putte

Love your videos, Rick! Keep on rocking! Greetings from Germany

I've had the 2.1 with Stability Tour shaft for about 4 months now. There is no putter out there that will fix you ability (or inability) to pick the right line or get the speed right. However, what this putter did for me immediately was get the ball to track on a straight line.

At the end of the day, you just want a round where your putter makes the score. Looks should fall second if score is what you're after. imo!

I like the way Rick says, “Oog-leh”...😂

Hey Rick, would love to see you do a video on different putting grips, seems to be many different ones being used these days!

Love mine! Yes, it’s weird looking, but I prefer the funky looks to missing putts. I have a stability shaft in it which seems to help mute the sound a bit. Put it in the bag Rick!

Straight up, I’ve never seen you putt that well. Been watching for a while, and you’re a good putter. But I feel like they met their promise of an “instant fix” for your putting game. The skill has to be there, but if it is, this putter seems to give you immediate and substantial improvement.

You should test the Edel Torque balanced putters. Essentially the same concept, keeps the face square and prevents torquing but actually look like putters. They're incredibly customizable with shaft, hosel, head options and cost about $50 less. Quality is great too, feels really premium. Absolutely love mine.

Love your stuff Rick! I bought that Costco set! Very impressed with the performance!

It is fun watch Peter Finch putt with it! I jealously watched his videos in Dubai!

Ha I’ve been saying this all along! I new my putter was the issue 😂

I know these guys, so happy to see this brand get exposure!

I just ordered one today. Biting bullet and going for it. I researched this for a couple of month. It feel so good

A putter with a bottle opener on it! Worth every penny, only $425!

*Holes every putt* "Nah I don't like it." - Rick Shiels

Great review!! I do agree it is a very odd looking putter but you were sharp on the green using it!!

So glad you took the time to review the Directed Force. I love this club! The price tag on your Evnroll is $369 USD. For $55 more you get the biggest tech advantage in golf, hole more putts, win more skins, and have WAY more fun. :) "I holed the WORLD." ~Rick Shiels

I was in my living room, and heard Rick say "massive head and huge face" and I thought it was a video about Finch..

I would love for you to do a video of you playing a round with equipment with the best reviews ( not your favorites or anything in your bag). I wonder if your score improves.. example. Putter - this one, irons - Wilson CV, Driver TSi3, etc...

Rick you always pick the best background songs in your videos!

Bill Presse is a good friend of mine. I remember when his idea was just a dream. It’s amazing how far he’s come! I have one of these and love it!

Who else wonders how many Putters Rick has laying around at home?

Surprised to see that these days Pete Finch doesn’t even get an “honorable mention” for using this on his channel since a couple of weeks... looks like Rick is VERY intent on independence nowadays.

Rick - love your videos - keep the great content up!

I love my lab putter !!!! Once you get used to the ball forward,shaft in the middle ball position, it’s great prediction of speed is so easy !!!!!

Peter Finch is so blown away its in his bag

Should of said it’s been in tour players hands such as....peter finch😂

Pete has had this in the bag awhile, he is putting so well! If you can get past the looks to shave strokes it is well worth it!! Thanks Rick

Hey Rick!! I like the look of this putter and on the practice putting green it seems like your putt accuracy improved in comparison to how you typically putt at Marriott Worsley Park! I'm willing to splash the 425.00 for one, if you take it out to Marriott Worsley Park and Birdie 3 holes in a row with the putter using 1 stroke!! I'll even upload a picture of my receipt!! Gary NYC!!

I have had one in my bag for about 5 months now and wouldn’t trade it for any other putter!!

I think this is probably a very good innovation. I think the ugly design and the price will prevent people from buying it though. People think 425$ is too expensive for a putter, but they'll most likely pay that amount for a driver, which makes no sense. The putter is definitely more important than the driver. Edit: I just saw on their page that they also have a blade-like design which actually looks pretty cool.

Great presentation - Love it

Sold. I'll take one. Thanks for the review.

I bought one after pete's vid, I love it

And just like that L.A.B. Is gonna be reeeeal busy!

Thank you for the great content!

I love how it looks and sounds

Rick, Even though it's impressive, I can't stand a pacifier as a putter

I’ll save you the trouble: it sells at $425. End of story. I blame PXG.

Tried a couple LAB putters yesterday and it was the best putter I've ever used. My immediate thought in my head was, "I wonder if Rick Shiels has reviewed these." Very happy to see Rick's video here in youtube. Thanks Rick.

Love your videos!!!

Who cares what it looks like? I'd putt with a frozen fish on a stick, if it makes the game easier and less frustrating. JS CHEERS!

This is the putter what Peter finch has in his bag bet he’s very interested in this review rick shiels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

my brother has the blade version, he loves it. been using it for 4-5 months now

I like when Rich tries strange clubs the are so unique!

“I spent time on this putting green.....I holed the world.....” - sorry, not for me - RickShiels

Where’s the credit to Peter finch!!!!!

I got fit for the DF 2.1 and ordered it last week! The feel of it not being “premium” or “tingy” goes away when you upgrade to the stability tour shaft. It is much softer and feels way better!

Cheers For Today Rick, Great To Get On The Channel 👊🏻👍🏻

I holed so many putts! It's so consistent! This is a great putter. But.. it's ugly so.. nah.. :D :D :D

Takin a leaf outta Finches book I see

Wow! Loved it. Really interesting demo with the bracket around both putters. Now it just needs to halve in price 👍🙏🏻

I like the feel of the scotty cameron I have, I've also putted well with an odyssey 2-ball. If you really want to improve your putting, changing your putter wont do it. Get "The Putting Arc" training aid, practice with it daily, and soon you will say goodbye to 3 putts for the most part, and start holing many more from 6 feet in. No putter is going to make you have a good stroke, the putting arc will.

I've been keen on this putter for quite some time, very popular in a facebook group. Also very expensive, but definitely my next (and last) putter.

Clicked on this immediately. I tried this at my local pga superstore. It was amazing, I had to see if Rick had a video review on it at the time he didn’t. (This was like 3 weeks ago)

Hey Rick loved the video👌❤️⛳😁

Love the content rick! Loving the masters too? Are you doing another live today?

Sweet Review Rick. I actually tested out one of these at my local Club because I was in the market for a new putter coming from an old Odyssey White hot that was toe balanced, never fitted for it just picked it up years ago when I got back into the game. Now that I'm way more serious about golf I wanted something newer better and actually got fitted for this putter AND a new 2020 Scotty Cameron Flowback 5 which was the Face balanced mallet. I hit the SC first and putted on the practice green for about an hour and then came back the next week and did the LAB putter fitting. While I did like the LAB putter I just couldn't get over the shape and feel of it, and looking side by side from the LAB to the SC is like comparing a Luxury Range Rover Autobiography 2020, to a Defender from the 80's that you tote around the farm. They both work and work fantastically I just didn't have the "confidence" with the LAB and it was more of a mental oooooo the SC is sooo shiny and bespoke in a way where as the LAB is more like a stick. I also though that for the price the LAB fit and finish is not as premium. It just seemed like spray painted chunk of metal compared to the milled forged shiny sexy SC. I think if the LAB was priced at $199 or maybe max $249 I would be much more inclined to put it in my bag but still I'm the kind of guy who would probably still spend the extra $$ for the SC putter knowing that I plan to keep that putter for oh lets say the next 40 years. I did feel the same feeling as you though on those long puts too, however I still was nailing 20-30 footers or getting within 1 foot of the hole with the SC. When it comes down to it, even Happy Gilmore putted well with a golden hockey stick. Just have to get out on the green and practice practice practice!!

Dont know if this has been recommended but your videos with Peter Finch are so good that making it it’s own channel would do wonders i think!

Hi Rick love your video’s

Hi Rick Sheils love your vids I leave a comment and a like on every video and you really helped my swing on my irons and my driver thank you for making vids

Interesting I putted with this LAB putter today. My buddy had it in his bag so I couldn’t resist. Feels and looks very ... very different than any putter I’ve ever used. Ain’t gonna lie however, i had no issue keeping my putts on line. If I was in the market for a putter I would add this to the list to be fitted with

Recently switched to a face balanced center shaft SeeMore and also feels so stable and have found long range putts seem to drop more often or at least look like they have a chance! Worth trying out something new if it gains u an advantage

I have two of those putters. The first was in black (2.0 not 2.1). It is wonderful. But I, apparently, didn't treat it the best and scraped it up a bit, and dinged it a bit. He could not reannodize it... We tried to make it black again. It looks pretty good. I was fitted by Bill Presse at the Haggin Oaks Demo Days. I then, a couple of months ago bought the blue 2.1 from my golf pro. It looks a good deal smaller...it isn't but it seems that way. As a 4 year player I had a tough time putting. I was using a Cleveland TFi 6.5. My average was 3+ putts per hole. I needed a putter and loved the feel of the Bettinardi Queen B 6. I had been trying it and the Scotty Cameron and a couple of others. Found this guy showing how my putter (he did the demo that you did in the video) was flopping about. I tried several of his demo putters. (No BLaDE at that time - Pronounced blade) He fitted me for the one I have. Long story short, I am averaging 1.94 on putts. Long, and mid length... All the same. Yes it is a bit ugly. Yes it is pricey. But if you never had to buy another putter what is the price on that? I love it. Thank you Rick Shiels for doing the video.

One of the toughest practice putting greens at worsley marriot too!

I own this putter and it is FANTASTIC!

Reminds me a lot of my Odyssey Backstryke. Amazing putter if you can still find one.

Purchased the brass B1ad 1 and I’m telling you I was a terrible putter. I don’t 3 putt and sink the 3-5 footers all day long. The small aiming lines and compact head gets you focused on the line and not the head of your putter. The balance is perfect and the touch with brass is the best feel you’ll ever have!

glad you finally got a hold of one of these to review Rick. As far as the looks of the putter, new revolutionary putters have always been odd-looking (going back to the Pings, if not further). I've never seen you hole so many putts on a putter review. I'd recommend you keep it, assuming you got the proper lie angle when you got it. I've got one, and i'll never part with it.

Amazing how many people think it’s a lot of money but then happily spend the same money on a driver that they use way less and could never really be considered a scoring club. I have the Mezz 1 Max and absolutely love it. Got custom fit for it too obviously (shout out to Pure Putt Studio in Ipswich, UK) so it’s the perfect length and lie. This company are the real deal.

LAB recommended me the odyssey toe up putters if I couldnt afford theirs. I already have the toe up 1 so I'm happy

Great video as always. I need all the help I can get. My putter is good,but looks weird but with intriguing style. I just wish it wasn't almost $500 I would consider it

Rick- I have this putter. In fact 2 as I got the 3 stripe of the model you tested. It works, I mean it really works. I have a ton of putters and this beat them all out. It also lets you take come break out of putts as I’ve talked with the owner Sam about it. Short putts are money and long putts got easy once I got used to the speed. Major downfall is of the course looks and speed. Got a lot of flack from friends and others I played golf with. Until I started making everything. I did end up taking it out of the bag. Reason was the grip is so large it was taking up so much room in my carry bag. All my clubs would hit it or get stuck when trying to pull it out of the bag. I think I’m going to buy something so I can clip it to the outside of the bag and then it’s back in. It’s that good and works. But yes it’s ugly as sin. However if you struggle with putting and make a few, you won’t notice. Cut down my putts from 32 putts per round to 28. Also let me get more aggressive with chips, short putts and shots into the green as I knew I would not 3 putt.

Your videos are awesome

My friend has this putter. His putting has improved tremendously! I want one!

I used one of these in a chest length and it was unbelievably good.

I just bought a scotty cameron futura 03 putter that reminds me alot of that putter
