Finding the right putter is essential for improving your performance on the greens, and LAB Golf putters take this to the next level with their Lie Angle Balance (LAB) Technology. But to fully benefit from LAB putters, a proper fitting is crucial.
Unlike traditional putters, LAB Golf putters rely on precise lie angle calibration, length adjustment, and weight distribution to help you achieve a more natural and repeatable putting stroke. In this guide, we’ll break down the LAB putter fitting process and how you can find the perfect setup for your game.
Why a Custom LAB Golf Putter Fitting Matters
A proper fitting ensures that your putter complements your natural stance, stroke, and posture. Here’s why a LAB Golf putter fitting is different from traditional fittings:
-
Lie Angle Balance (LAB) Must Be Optimised: The putter must match your natural setup to maintain LAB technology benefits.
-
Personalised Length & Loft Adjustments: Helps you maintain correct posture for optimal putting mechanics.
-
Custom Grip & Head Weight Selection: Ensures better feel and control for your stroke.
With LAB putters, a standard off-the-rack option won’t deliver the same consistency as a fitted putter, making a custom fitting essential.
The LAB Golf Putter Fitting Process
Step 1: Lie Angle Calibration
Lie Angle Balance (LAB) technology requires precise lie angle matching to keep the putter face naturally square through impact.
✅ How It Works:
-
During the fitting, your natural posture and stance are assessed.
-
The ideal lie angle is determined to match your setup.
-
The putter is adjusted to ensure the face remains square without manipulation.
⏩ Why It Matters: If your lie angle is incorrect, your putter will not perform optimally, reducing the benefits of LAB technology.
Step 2: Selecting the Right Putter Length
The correct putter length influences:
-
Posture – A proper length ensures comfortable setup and better eye positioning.
-
Stroke Mechanics – Shorter or longer putters can influence your putting stroke path.
✅ How to Choose:
-
Standard lengths range from 32” to 37”, but custom adjustments are available.
-
A fitting professional will measure your natural stance and eye position to determine the best length.
⏩ Tip: A putter that’s too long or too short can cause alignment and stroke inconsistencies.
Step 3: Customising Head Weight & Balance
LAB Golf putters come in various head weights and balance configurations.
✅ Options Include:
-
Lighter Heads – Suitable for fast greens and controlled strokes.
-
Heavier Heads – Ideal for slow greens and stability-seeking players.
⏩ Finding the Right Fit: Your stroke tempo and green speed preferences will determine the ideal head weight for you.
Step 4: Grip Selection
LAB Golf putters work with various grip styles, including:
✅ LAB Simple Grips – Designed specifically for LAB putters to enhance feel and stability.
✅ Traditional Oversized Grips – Help reduce wrist movement for a smoother stroke.
✅ Midsize and Standard Grips – Offer a balance of control and feedback.
Choosing the right grip is essential for ensuring comfort, stability, and stroke consistency.
