L.A.B. Golf has had a great run of acceptance by both pros and amateurs with the DF3 model being hands down the bestselling of their zero torque putters. Now, listening to customer input, they have introduced the DF3i with a stainless-steel face insert for those liking a slightly firmer feel and faster face. The change produces about 2% additional ball speed.
“We are stoked to be offering the DF3i. The DF3 is the putter that put us on the map. The only real criticism we ever get about it is that to some it feels like the ball comes off a bit soft and slow,” said L.A.B. Golf Founder Sam Hahn. “Adding the stainless insert for a firmer feel and slightly faster ball speeds will hopefully appeal to an even greater number of golfers looking for a couple extra-long ones to fall!”
Incidentally L.A.B. stands for Lie Angle Balanced, the essence of the company’s zero-torque construction and DF for Directed Force referring to putter’s solid impact.
