Par4QC I'm doing well with my face balanced Odyssey Jailbird mini (small MOI type style). But the torque-balanced ones really swing differently. You don't realize how much torque your hands have to control in a face balanced putter until you swing a torque free one. The big MOI style face balanced putters with rear COG have a ton of torque that is wanting to open the face at impact. So our hands have to counteract that force.

I've got a real relaxed grip and stroke and I think that it's not a positive for me to have to work against that torque to keep the face square. It seems like a variable that could be gotten rid of. Others might need it or at least be so used to it that they have to have it. I can see how someone could pick up a torque free putter and miss everything.

      Back on topic. Search out LAB on YouTube. They have short videos in which they test out other (non LAB) low/no torque putters.

      They are similar to the one I posted above with them testing the Odyssey Toe Up #7.

      Since putting the Mezz.1 into my bag on March 8, it looks like I’m taking 1.5 fewer putts per round. I know that stat is not the best measure of putting but it’s something. I’m definitely making more 2 to 10 footers.

      Your mileage may vary. 🙃

        I've got a Mezz. Did the online fitting to get my specs. Then kept an eye on ebay and the LAB Golf "Factory Seconds" page. I ended up grabbing mind for under $350.

        There have minor cosmetic blemishes and nothing that affects playability. You can score some decent deals if you watch it regularly. Mine simply had some shaft discoloration.

        Of note, I did add lead tape to get the weight up as they wanted $100 to send it back and add weight.

          I have a custom built/custom shafted Link1. Won it in a contest last winter.....retail $560😲!
          No question, it is the nicest putter I've ever used, or even held in my hands.

          So my brother managed to “win” a LAB DF3 on some damn TikToK unboxing thing that he participates in…basically just another way of gambling online…anyhow…

          The DF3 was delivered yesterday and he used it for the first time…he has already nicknamed it “The Cloud”…dunno why…but my assumption is that it has to do with the feel…made me chuckle when he sent me a message last night “This Cloud putter is crazy!”

          Maybe those of you that have rolled one before can relate but I just thought it was humorous…
