In reply to kyle. How much less could you care? Or, did you mean you “could not care less“?

In reply to Odie. Those are great questions Odie, but a bit above my knowledge level. Maybe there's a qualified fitter reading this that can chime in. What did you experience when rolling some putts? From my time doing this fitting story - LINK - I came to realize everyone is different and there may not be satisfactory generic answers. - Meeks

Thanks for the great review. Question on fitting: if you typically are an “eyes over the ball” putter does this make fitting for zero torque more important, and does the inherent design of these type putters still work effectively if the player prefers a more upright lie angle? Most of these style putters seem on the flatter lie angle side when rolling them in stores.

A lot of Key Brands are selling the “no torque”concept. I think there is something to it based on science and comparison physical performance evidence in several third party testing. It has turned out No Torque is not for everyone. And it appears some companies are selling less than No torque to sell their putters. It’s Sounding like this putter is riding on its name so far with a lot of fluff and little or no proof. I don’t own a LAB putter but at least they can show some facts and testing to back their product as ugly as most their spaceship putters are. Just saying… Matt

This mindset is truly mindblowing and hilarious: it matters how a putter – a tool used to play golf – performs and it matters how a painting – a piece of art – looks…

Matt- thanks for the review. As a current user of the LAB LINK1 I have a year of experience with this type of “answer style “ putter, and it has improved my putting immensely. For those who have experienced traditional blade style putters but switched to mallets for MOI reasons, this style type is a nice combination.

My current putter is a center shafter BB28, and I love it. Intrigued by this putter and will try it out, ALSO YES-sooo glad they are doing MAGNETIC HC’s, finally. Great Review Matt!

This was an excellent review and thank you for your efforts here. Agree with what you mentioned as far as looks. I just cant get myself to buy a LAB and could care less about the performance of it. I just cant get over the looks of it. I will try this putter and compare apples to apples as to where I am now w my Scotty. thank you.
