LAB Golf’s DF3 notched its first tour win and JJ Spaun showed how balanced it is even when it’s not in your hands. The refinement of the DF2.1 generated a putter with a cult like following that is well deserved based on the scientific proof of advancements. Have you tried the Koolaid?

Such a personal choice when it comes to putters. Sometimes, a particular model just speaks to you. Confidence is everything!

 

My vote is for the Odyssey AI-One Milled Seven. In particular, I love the silver crank-hosel version. It’s a modern-classic head shape, with the AI-One insert technology in a firmer-feeling titanium. I feel like it gives the best combination of technology and feel that I’ve found.

DF3 FTW! It is both stable and easy to setup over the ball. It has the best feel of the L.A.B. lineup for me and the zero torque/face balanced tech is for real. The gimme getter is a nice bonus too.

Haven’t had it very long but my number of putts per round is down quite a bit since putting it in the bag. Seems to set up very easy for me. 
Odyssey S2S Jailbird

Left out what club.

LAB DF3 without any question for me.   I've repeatedly tried all of the LABs and other zero torque putters as well.  The TM ZT is good but not customizable like the LABs and that is a major performance factor.  Once the user adopts a zero release stroke, the DF3 eliminates start line roll issues which allows one to primarily focus on speed and that is what makes three putts rare.  
 

As an aside, I feel the best non-customizable  zero torque putter is the Odyssey Square to Square Jailbird.  Excellent price point and simply works.

Voted for the AI One #7, but specifically the Cruiser version

[Rbsiedsc]

I voted LAB Oz1.i. I am a tester for it. While my putting stats don't reflect it (its me not the putter), that stick feels so good and starts things online well. Its not as forgiving as the DFs but for the visual appeal it has it checks many boxes.

I can't find the Scotty Cameron Studio Style models on the list? The Fastback 1.5 is my top mallet, but not on the list.

 

Four Scotty's on the list and fourteen SeeMore's? Times sure are a changing!!

[stratgolf]

Excited to see the outcome here. ZT I think was a real game changer, although OZ and DF3 will be close behind.

  The latest offering from L.A.B. Putters the OZ.1 is possibly the best in class across The Board.  I have been a fan of The Link due to my affinity for blade putters, but this OZ.1 has swayed me into the mallet putter world.  This is a must try and I feel that there will not

be very many if any who don’t find this putter automatic… per say.

Played a Scottie Squarback for years.  Putting inside of 10 feet was my cryptonite. I would miss two 3-5 footers a round that would ruin my day/game.  I didn't know my lag putting was as bad as it was until my New Lab DF3 arrived. 
At an indoor local and an acquaintance says try this. He hands me a 38 inch DFR with a 70 degree cant. I proceed to hit 3-5 from 20 plus feet, 4-5 from 12 and 2 of 5 from 20 with the missing ones whiskers away from going in.   I am sold.   I get fitted the next week and order the same putter just a little more upright.

Proceed 2 months later, the season has started and I am missing putts with my blade.  She arrives.  I take her to the course and hate it. I practice, practice, play and practice.  Then a friend gives me this sage advice as I am missing putts on the putting green.  "Focus on blade of grass in front of the ball and trust your putt through the ball". (I was being distracted by my length of backswing and or the movement of the big head)  Boom I start dropping putts and never looking back.  My HDCP has dropped from a 5 to a 3 and I am hitting putts regularly with confidence inside of 15 feet, my lag is so much better as the ball comes off the face consistently smooth.  This putter amongst some other work has been a godsend inside of 10 feet.  My swing thought.. "trust your line" and I am draining those sliders and those need to win putts.  Confidence.  Lastly, I never worry about my backswing any longer, just coming through the ball and if it is square to the target or the line on my ball (inside of 10/12 feet I use a line because of my horrible eyes).

Spider ZT! ZT tech that doesn’t require any weird adjustments to my stroke.
