Good video. 3 years ago i sent in my video and got fit for a DF2.1, the ugly branding iron. The tech def works but couldn't get over the ugly looks. I wound up selling it on ebay. Since last year I've been gaming the Limited edition Jailbird Versa 380 counterbalanced putter. great on long putts but my short ones are being pulled left, mostly because i have a slight arc in my backstroke and the jailbird is face balanced. Def need to get a remote fitting for the DF3, if not this year than next spring.

Very informative Video. Thanks. As mentioned by others in this thread. You have a blade putter (toe hang putter) designed for more an Arc path of putting, vs LAB more face balanced (as you’ve mentioned straight back and through). 2 different styles IMO. Better comparo wld have been a faced up SC vs LAB. Great video nonetheless. I did try the DF3🎉🎉🎉

If the Scotty was at 72 deg on the Lie Angle instead of 70 deg, it would make a big difference. You didn't swing the Scotty as good as you did the DF3 so It seemed to be at a disadvantage because of the fitting you went through with DF3. With the Scotty, you seemed stuck and didn't release the putter. You hit the Scotty better from 15ft but still stuck and mostly off the heal on the strikes. Hit DF3 better from 15 ft but seems to let if swing better than the scotty and not sure if that's weight or the balancing.

I really don't care what anyone says on any putting video, I have used 2 different scotty Cameron's over a 20-year period, and I have never putted as well as I have in the past month since receiving my lab custom 2.1. I might not make every putt, but I have the confidence that I will. I will never touch another scotty or any other companies putters. I am officially a lab rat for life.

Nice vid, QQ - even though both are 33” long you have a 70 deg lie angle on the Scotty vs 74 on the DF3. Did LAB fit you into 74, and if so, perhaps you would be more consistent with the Scotty bent up to 74 if that lie angle is a better match for you? I have a Link1 and I’m struggling with distance control, I think it might just be too heavy for me. I may consider a DF3 with lighter weight build, also checking out Edel fitting.
@paulcarrigan691Ай бұрын
I'm very interested in the lie angle difference too. If you submit the video, as they suggest, for the online fitting it's just a video of a guy with a bog standard lie putter from any store. Unless they see where your balls are going they'll never know what lie angle to fit you with....

No expert here, but just overall, mallet putters are far more stable than blades. I switched from a mallet to a SC blade and I can tell the difference. I like my SC and putt well with it. I think it's based on the putting skill level of the user. To the eye, the blade looks sleeker which psychologically enhances confidence, that's important too. For beginners, mallets should be the go-to.

I have done extensive testing all versions of lab putters versus my scotty newport 2 and i ended up making more and having better control with scotty. I think a lot of this depends on your stroke. People that struggle with putting will benefit from a lab, but more precise putters will not see the benefit - that was my finding. Lab makes great putters, but like all clubs, it may not be for everyone. I also found the lab (all versions) to have less feedback and distance control was not as good as my scotty. I do think there lab can help the majority of golfers with poor strokes, however, when you're dialed in with the putter, nothing beats the feel, balance, look, and framing of the ball than a scotty.

I’ve tried so many Cameron putters and just don’t like the feel off the face. Tbh for me the best feeling putter I’ve ever hit it a mizuno m craft or maybe one of the ping pld’s. The firmness of a Scotty feels harsh to me. Even the current odyssey inserts give off a bit too much “clickiness” for me. The labs make their hay by being easier to square at impact and that matters, but read and pace are still on you. As they say, it’s not the putter, it’s the putter.
