Don’t buy a face balanced putter like this, we’ve been lied too…



Have we been lied too about face balanced putters?

Do faced balanced putters (as we know them) even stay face balanced during a putting stroke?…

In today’s video we’re testing the NEW LAB LINK 1 PUTTER which does stay face balanced during a putting stroke, but will we be able to feel anything during testing?…

#facebalanced #putters #golftips

I have been waiting to get all of one of these Putters for 6 months I cannot wait to try this putter it’s hitting the golf industry by storm and if you’ve not heard of it yet it is the most face balance putter in the world and in my

Opinion the only face balance putter in the world and we’re going to having a match with Mr James Robinson so the putter we’re talking about is a lab gol putter have you seen this brand oh I have a good friend of mine over in the states Josh uses one of these and Josh

Is smashing it on Tik Tok and YouTube but I believe he uses the link one as well cuz it’s more of a traditional look isn’t it cuz they’ve got the the other ones they do like a Mez which is a Mal they’ve got one that’s a really massive

Oversized design That’s Heavy isn’t it that but this is the one that I like the look of the most yeah yeah I it’s interesting you’ve just done that why did you do that cuz you said it was face balance test yeah no no that but if you

Look that our perception of face balance would be for that to be at the sky it’s talk isn’t it everything we’ve always known about face balance puts but I don’t think it’s true and we’ll show you why when we get up to this next screen

But if you look at that he don’t want to sit pointing at Sky at all no it’s only face balance in motion Li angle balance is that what it stands for yeah I think so we’re going to actually test this putter today CU there’s a lot of people

Interested in trying these struggling to get fittings to see if we can actually tell any difference in playing the putter can we feel any difference with this putter compared to I’ve got a face balance putter which welcome TR what we perceive as a face balance putter to see

If there’s any difference going to have a two little match but we’re going to focus mostly on the putter do a bit of testing I don’t need to put when this goes in guys how far you got a wedge you know this all well up man I think what we’ll do we’ll

Get you your own Putter and then this one side by i’ like to do that actually because I have looked at the lab stuff and I’ve thought about potentially trying it like I said I’ve got Josh May uses it in America I spoke to Josh about

It and Sabrina uses the big one actually as well Sabrina and doo so um spent a lot of time around the lab po but never used one myself I did actually cont was six months ago to see if I could get one to test and at that stage it wasn’t

Giving any product out you know it was that exclusive or that in demand that they just didn’t have enough product the Ghost of You made is they to give demos not a big enough name left on red I think they’ have good tiger one wouldn’t they oh stay there don’t go any further

Right oh could be good we’ll see I’m just going to see if I can demonstrate this it’s not quite a revealer but if I was to sort of stroke that like let this just I’m going to do that so I’m just pinching there it really does want to

Sort of like return Square well it actually arcs really nicely it’s actually trying to sort of square itself is it obviously that’s not on the right angle if it were on that angle that’s where they said that the face is absolutely square but we thought face

Balance were point to the sky well this one doesn’t surely though if your grip pressure is dictating the rotation then that I don’t know CU well I think the the key is not to have too much grip pressure let the putter do the work whereas that one’s what we think is face

Balanced yeah but then if we put a te in this who’s a proper teate come on I’ve got one I must have picked that up after you it’s definitely not one of mine look at that now like it’s just there’s no I’m just doing exactly the same I’ve H

There’s no correction is there yeah it’s rotating a bit more is it cuz the weight’s probably in the toe but then I suppose looking at it that’s what all these special weights will be about weights in the toall you see how they’re not symmetrical cuz they don’t want them

To be symmetrical do they they want them move differently that was four in the toe there two in the heel and then two in like different locations there and then the the shafts obviously fixed on more Central isn’t it so it’s all optimized for what you’re trying to do I

Get it I do get it this will be the first put I’ve ever done on a putting green I’ve had to play with in the house just had a play you know just stroking it back and through you love golf don’t you and honestly for somebody who takes

It straight back and through this would just absolutely pure to Saturday night watching Anton deck just playing with your lab swinging Putters around yeah girlfriend says Gary can we go out for dinner now of them working on put I should be swinging misses around but I’m swinging Putters right let’s have a

Look you made a free aren’t you yeah bit of pressure out actually difficult green to uh put on this when I when it first arrived as well if somebody’s going to buy one of these blind we’re actually going and seeing it the head was a bit bigger than

I expected yeah not the to to heel length you know if they made a small one I could probably be tempted yeah it does look a little bit bigger than what I were expecting I when I first saw it I’m not going to be a very good

Advert for that putter am I difficult put it it it feels lovely it does feel nice I say is it wasn’t your best strike and the pace was perfect terrible read a lot of people have put off by this point it retails at 449 ah much and that’s without custom

Fit if you choose to get a fit that price can go up to as steep as 65700 depending on what specs well they have upcharged shafts up charge grips different weighting options color options I’m going try my stroke here or am a I think you should just try yeah

Cuz you’re someone who’s got a Different Stroke to me I think you should try it as with your stroke and I try it with my stroke James is a bit more into square to win and and it’d be good to subscribers to know whoever it had

Actually help or felt okay a little bit towy did anything feel nice about it or not or anything different to normal it didn’t feel soft right like I like it put to feel soft it felt quite firm that’s the first part I’ve hit with it I’m using a firm ball today as well

We’re testing the callaways but um I think really like for me I think if you’re going to go down this this road of of lle balance yeah I would probably try the bigger ones as well yeah go all in um but then I don’t think

I’ be able to use the bigger ones CU they just look too big look really really big so um you know what really thinking about it it’s a very strange sensation I it might be because you’re not in like you not taking it straight back and through

But when I picked it up I felt like an incredible amount of balance in the putter I think like the main thing for this video for me was to actually see if I could feel any benefit cuz my putter is what they call Face Balan whether I

Could feel any benefit over this being face balanc yeah and I’d conclude by saying I can I really really can I think speaking as a friend yeah you have been putting well with that though I’m not looking to change I’m generally not looking to put this in the bag it is

Literally just to test it for anybody that’s sort of curious on whether you can feel a difference on a golf course nice and get in the comments guys guys if you’re using one cuz I think you know you’re always a great advocate for product if you’ve been using one what do

You think let’s have your opinion let subscribers see what you think if you bought one at £450 are you happy are you feeling a difference in it who knows so just ask James a question off camera is if you didn’t work in the golf industry how much would you spend on a

Putter probably up to 500 pound just because I take golf seriously and I would still really enjoy it I imagine if I wasn’t working in the industry I’d still yeah be a keen nearly scratch goal for maybe a two or three or four or a 10

Handicap but my logic is that when we were teenagers we weren’t earning like hardly any money at all cuz teenagers don’t do you I was still spending like I was buying a Scotty Cameron £300 yeah so you look at it now we’re working hard we’re older we’ve got a little bit more

Disposable income then why wouldn’t you and I think when you don’t work at industry like you guys at home you don’t what you’re equ as much you buy but sometimes you just got to treat yourself AR you yeah you buy ones and it lasts and Putter and ever a club that for me

They’re the two main clubs in your bag shot keep going he working in go on go on go on left side of the green that you’re in trouble and there’ll definitely be someone and we’ll get in the comments it might even do it now we’ll say it’s not the putter it’s the

IDI at the end of it oh yeah 100% And I I have to disagree a little bit on that James I really do cuz I think you know if you’ve got a really crap Putter and it’s not balanced it don’t feel very nice I’m not say you got to

Spend £450 but I think you do have to have a good Putter and a good driver oh delightful I like that so SM better than mine I wouldn’t normally put this I wouldn’t normally put it if you’re wondering where mine is it’s just up there somewhere just just gone through

Back actually after just testing the balance that putter I think that it could work for somebody with an arc cuz I think he just wants to return Square yeah this is for Eagle this goes in I’ll bag it oh I’ll tell you what oh you could definitely take that away

That you can see where that came out of just heal there yeah it did you know it felt easy enough that like I’ve got the line and I just took it back for the distance and that was it so that’s easiest bird you ever going to make in

It right I’m going to need up and down then I’ll shift it out your way mate nice that is a great golf shot now we’re really going to test this putter out aren’t we that is the six-footer that normally you won’t want to not lose the match really going to test

It a great shot that I think to start to wrap things up with this putter what I would say cuz there’ll be people in the market for a putter this year if it’s within your price point if you’re looking for a top end putter a Scotty Cameron you know something along them

Lines with the amount of technology in this putter I don’t think it can be overlooked yeah I think it I think you owe it to yourself try I think with Putters though a lot of people know what they want already yeah they know they want a Scotty they know they want an

Odyssey I know I know I mean I’m someone who’s always loved a Scotty I’ve always loved a top end put I’m putting well this year so I’m not looking to change but this was genuinely on my wish list of Putters one that I want to go and get

A fit in for and try potentially might do later in year if I start putting bad when but first first actual Impressions just testing on a golf of course I can feel something in it James honestly I shouldn’t have said that just before I take this put but I’m confident oh dear

Congratulations suppose it don’t matter what put you have you put a bad stroke on it you put a bad I W expecting that Nery stroke I think I don’t know if I actually relied on that put too much there yeah you know kind of got to light

In my hands like than nor release the butter at all I find myself probably because I need to practice more I find myself getting really loose in my hands maybe just into do my normal stroke but guys that is the lab golf putter which I’m buzzing to have tried

I’m buzzing you tried uh and I’m thankful I didn’t play with too well thanks for watching guys and congratulations look at his smile get him close this round I don’t I’m done

  1. In general, if you can't putt, there is nothing out there that will really help u, I'm quite a good putter, and can putt with anything.and paying over £600 for a putter, you will have more money than sense. 😂😂😂

  2. Designers catching golfers. Remember if your don’t swing the missus round someone else will keep her happy buddy. 😂😂lol

  3. Hi Gary thanks but I think seemore is the 'first' face balanced putters on the market. They have a mini giant df that is face balanced on impact. You reviewed 1 long before lab became the new got to have putter.

  4. I picked one up on ebay for 300…knowing if i didn't like it, i would probably get my money back…didn't like the link 1 put it back on ebay sold for 325!…i then bought the mezz on ebay with the same thought…the mezz has simply transformed my putting and putting confidence, its in the bag.

  5. I’ve been using the DF2.1 since last May and would never think about changing back . Did the remote fitting and can’t fault anything from L.A.B they were first class for the very first email , Scores have dropped considerably but again if you can’t read greens or judge pace correctly it doesn’t matter what you use .
    Definitely a 10/10 from myself ⛳️

  6. I’d been considering this, I have a really lovely-feeling buttery Tour Edge Eden, which is a steal at $100 and very traditional blade. I’d been pulling my short and nervy putts until I saw a video and guide that recommended tucking the elbows and that has drastically improved all of my putting the past couple of weeks. I think the person holding the club dictates more than the club.
