LAB putters
Eguller Now if L.A.B would come along with an old school head, like the Bullseye, that was designed the same as these hulks, I'd be in for one. Minimal distraction.
I did love the Link1 though. Nothing better in my hands ever. But, having got it for only a low entry fee, and being able to sell it for over 400, it was 1 of those no brainer deals.

sdandrea1 new tech doesn't sink putts.
You might want to tell the guys winning on tour this…. Oh, start with Lucas Glover. And the guys at LAB where these are back ordered because of demand. And all the rave reviews from people who have bought them.
Oh, and tell the guys on here buying them too.

The same shit happens every time a new "thing" comes out and gets attention and in the hands of a few high profile players. Then it fizzles out. Remember 17 more yards RBZ?
I ain't buying it. The honeymoon will end. You're in the sales business John. Deep down, you know I'm right.

L.A.B. putters are not a new thing. Been around for over 10 years. The recent OEM putters may well fizzle out, esp. if they start to infringe on the patents that L.A.B. golf has.
I'll now say that as long as they are not infringing on those patents, they def will fizzle out.
If putters could be built as L.A.B. builds theirs, & be as the current OEM putters are, L.A.B. would already be building some in that manner, with a patent. IOW, IMO, the current OEM putters are a farce. Won't perform repeatedly (key word!) as L.A.B. putters do.

UNCLE! I'm just trying to make the point that serious golfers don't HAVE to have the latest tech to putt their best. I thought John's comment earlier implied that serious golfers always seek the latest tech in putters. I disagree. It's just an opinion. Everybody else wins. I'm wrong.
P.S. shopping for a L.A.B. putter as you read this

I agree, so don't misunderstand my reply above. Just pointing out that L.A.B. is not a new kid on the block in putters. As shown by this years new OEM offerings, they are the leader to be copied. But I'm saying they cannot be, with them holding a few patents that others cannot copy. imo, that makes these newbies irrelevant, their putters will not work as the L.A.B. do. Cheap pricing means cheap product...we know that. But people sometimes do not want to believe.
When I'm able to get around to GG, I will have a go at these new putters. If they are as good as the L.A.B. in their specific performance, I may well buy one.

I feel that either Tour Edge, Powerbuilt, Ray Cook..or someone similar will have a version of it soon and it will be under $200, maybe under $150.
From Golf Monthly: "...at the time of writing this piece, only one player inside the top-20 in the world (Viktor Hovland) has used a zero torque putter during a competitive round on the PGA Tour..

JJ Spaun was (is) using one today and will in the playoff tomorrow.

sdandrea1 Couldn't miss it. They're HUGE. I'd have to look down the shaft at one and see how I react. The set-back center shaft might freak me out.
Really??? You play Ping Zing 2 irons, isi irons and Eye 2 irons without complaining. The only iron more ugly was the Cleveland VAS. And you’re thinking the Lab will look funky
Yes it is big, but like most clubs for me anyway, I forget what it looks like while I’m using it. You can’t just hit 2 putts with it and say it’s too big.
Years ago my rental set was Cally x hot irons. HUGE offset, top line and head size. I remember noticing it on the first couple holes but never again after that.
