Not sure why.. I think there might be a lot of upset people in the industry at what L.A.B. has done.. the only other thing I can think about is that you seem to be "slightly pushing" the df3 even though, statistically, they were almost exactly the same in testing (and it sounded a little like you tried to smooth that over to favor df3...but not really.. idk. Wanna sell the 2.1? :D I was going to buy a DF3 but they've been out of stock everywhere around here (seriously they sell out instantly at dicks/golf galaxy... the other LAB putters are still in stock.

​ ​ @TheGolfNerd No prob. Keep doin what you do and i'll keep watching. If you haven't noticed though, every major youtuber has reviewed the DF3 in the past 2-4 weeks and the reviews all seem.. "far more generous and 'paid shill feeling' " compared to yours... I imagine there's some negative sentiment just because of how flooded youtube is with L.A.B reviews right now, teh tech cannot be denied IMO (advancements in drivers and other clubs has kinda stagnated IMO... LAB has a real advancement that's worth every penny here .. again IMO) I also imagine there are people in the industry who are reallly scared at the impact that LAB putters are having on their own businesses.. no other putter is constnatly sold out at golf shops here other than the DF3 right now... Your'e a "content creator" ... you know how this industry works.. I don't have to say much more... It's a good review.. you didn't seem to be hiding anything. I know the putter is as good as you're saying.

Just got fitted for a DF3 with a counter balanced shaft. My normal length putter is 33” and we went to 36” and 73*. Heavier head and weight in the butt end of the shaft to smooth out my swing. Can’t wait to get it built.

nice video. 3 years ago i did the remote fitting for the DF2.1. it was a great performing putter, the tech really works. I just couldn't get used to the branding iron looks and wound up selling it on ebay. Last July I ordered the limited edition Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 putter. Since I'm 5 ft. 6 in. 38 inches was too long so i had it cut down at 2ndSwing in Delaware to 36 inches and added 60 gr. into the butt end to make it even more counter-balanced. It's very heavy at 695 gr. and delofted to 2 deg which gives a 5 deg. toe hang. Love the weight and stability of the head especially on long putts. It's deadly on 20-30 footers. My only issue is I'm pulling the short putts especially inside 5-6 ft. left. I do have a slight arc in my backstroke and since this Jailbird 380 is nearly face-balanced, this may be causing these slight pulls. I'm very tempted to go for a DF3, but may have to wait until next summer. I cant justify dropping $650-$700 now.

Putters are very personal, and when we find something that works we just gotta ride with it! I play stock df3 and really like the steel shaft, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be $700 to be good. Good luck!!

@@TheGolfNerd thanks ! I will need to get custom fit for lie angle. I’m seeing some vids saying LAB recommended a different lie angle than what they were fit into for a conventional putter. If nothing else after I send in my video if they recommend a 69 deg lie angle which I believe is their stock lie angle I’ll get a stock one and maybe add $75 for a counterbalanced version.

​@@TheGolfNerd Excellent, thanks for the tips. Picked up the DF3 today. Your grip tips will help. I've been struggling with face control on my Evnroll mallet. Some days it's great but other times I just can't get it aligned. The DF3 seems to align more naturally for me just by virtue of its visual design.

Got a couple rounds in with it. Very natural and easy to align. It feels very light compared to my Evnroll mallet but I adjusted well. The highlight of the day was a 70’ putt up a hill that I rolled just past the hole to 2’ from the pin. Overall, really liked it. Now if someone could make winter greens roll more consistent….

I've had the DF 2.1 for 4 years and have loved it but just a week ago got the DF 3 and really like the feel, looks and weight but I'm stuggling right now with long putts but I'm sure I'll adjust soon. I need more practice on some good greens as the ones I've been playing on haven't been very good. I'm sure thiis DF 3 will be in the bag for many years.

Great review. For reference can you give us your putter specs? Lie and length. Head weight or total weight if you have it. Also would like to know your height and wrist to floor measurement (like Ping does it). This would give me reference data for a potential buy.

The length and lie of the DF 3 featured in this video is 34” and 69°. This is their standard off the shelf setup which happens to be my fit, per their online fitting process, which is free. I shared the total weight and swing weight of each putter in the video. My wrist to floor is 29.5”. Hope this helps!!

I've had the link for a bit, my issue is there is a small "sweet spot". So while even on toe strikes, it stays on line, I find it alters the distance drastically, and I end up coming up terribly short with a long 2nd putt. Any clue how the DF3 compares in terms of "distance forgiveness"?
@TheGolfNerd
@TheGolfNerd 5 ай бұрын
I honestly felt like the DF3 was a little easier to control distance, even during the mishit study. I did not think the heel and toe hits sacrificed much in terms of distance vs center strikes. Hope that helps!!!
