The L.A.B. Golf Story - Lie / Angle / Balance

Bill Presse, a former mini tour player had the idea to create a putter that would allow him to drastically simplify his stroke.  He wanted to be able to count on a square putter face every time, which led him to invent Lie Angle Balance.

Bill also wanted to create a putter head that would give him as much forgiveness as possible, so he developed the radical shape of the DF 2.1 as a way to maximise consistency on off centre hits.  Yes, it looks like a branding iron - but it works.

The L.A.B. Golf Claim

The DF 2.1 can do amazing things other putters can’t because of Lie Angle Balance, or L.A.B. for short.  Lie Angle Balance gives every golfer the ability to consistently repeat the putting stroke with far less effort than with other putters.  This is achieved by eliminating torque.

Why We Hate Torque - The Low Torque Putter Revolution

Torque is an industry problem.  Golfers have been battling torque in their putters throughout the history of the game.  Most golfers have learned to adjust for torque by adding uneven hand pressure to the putter, introducing yet another variable into their putting stroke.

Even today’s largest club manufacturers have acknowledged the issue of torque, marketing putters with a variety of balance types, different levels of toe hang, counterbalance, face balance etc.  None of these products actually solve the problem - Lie Angle Balance does.

Proving It

Thankfully, it is not hard for L.A.B. Golf to prove their claims.  Before Bill Presse dreamed up Lie Angle Balance and the Directed Force 2.1, he developed a device called “The Revealer” to help him better understand the torque created by different kinds of putters.  If you watch the video below the issue of torque in putters is perfectly explained.  

Directed Force 2.1 - Almost Does Everything

Lie Angle Balance doesn’t read greens.  It doesn’t line you up at your target.  You will have to figure out those things on your own.  However, Lie Angle Balance will help with distance control because your putter won’t want to flop around during your putting stroke.  DF 2.1 works with your stroke and not against it.  Off centre strikes will still run true and to the target.

A Forward Thinking Putter Grip

The forward press a misunderstood concept among golfers.  Golfers who understand it often find it difficult to execute.  Success comes from leaning the shaft forward at impact to reduce loft, while at the same time contacting the ball with an upward putter path to encourage the truest possible roll.

The Stock DF 2.1 comes fitted with a L.A.B. Golf Press No. 2 3.0 Degrees Jumbo Polyurethane Putter Grip - Black / White.

Why Lie / Angle / Balance Matters

The hallmark of great putting is returning the putter face to square at impact, or perpendicular to the target line.  The latest research shows that 83% of a putts starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter face at impact.  The other 17% is influenced by the path of the putter head.

Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology makes it effortless for golfers to deliver a square putter face at impact.  Unlike other putters, L.A.B. Golf putters keep the putter face square to the arc throughout the stroke.  It makes putting as easy as picking the right line, the right speed, and making your natural stroke.

With no adjustments to make during the stroke, golfers can be confident that their putts will roll exactly where they are aiming.  With a L.A.B. Golf putter, golfers will quickly see that they are better putters than they think.
