LAB Golf Directed Force 2.1 Broomstick Putter

LAB Golf has set out to solve one of the biggest putting challenges in golf, the putter’s natural rotation. Achieving the correct face angle is one of the most important keys to sinking putts, and studies continue to show that putter face angle has the greatest influence — nearly 85%. The remaining 15% impact is from putter path alone — so the shorter the putt the more important face angle becomes. Their answer to this is lie-angle balancing

Their team of engineers and golfing professionals have partnered to develop an entirely new formula and approach to club balance that eliminates unwanted head rotation and torque once and for all. They’ve literally reinvented the balance of the modern putter and call it lie-angle balance. It’s perhaps best defined as the putter head’s ability to stay square through the ball during the putting stroke without any adjustments from your hands. The result — the body’s smaller and less reliable muscle groups relax, allowing a player’s stronger muscles to maintain control over swing speed and path. Lie-angle balancing creates a “pendulum-like” stroke with unmatched stability, ball direction and distance control.

Every putter they manufacture has their proprietary lie-angle balancing formula built-in, ensuring that players achieve the pure putting stroke they desire — and sink more putts!

It sounds dramatic, but it’s true. The golf industry has abandoned those of us who use long (aka broomstick) putters. And we think it’s a shame.

If there’s one thing true about putting, it’s that there’s more than one way to get the job done. And if we’re only looking at the science, long putters used in the broomsticks style might actually be the best way to improve consistency (more on that later). Not to mention long putters keep a lot of golfers in the game because they’re less strenuous on the back.

So whether you’re looking to try the Broomsticks style for the first time or you’ve been using a broomstick for 20 years, we want you to know that we’ve got your back.

LIE ANGLE BALANCE MAKES BROOMSTICK PUTTERS BETTER

Why should you get a Broomstick with Lie Angle Balance? The simple answer is that L.A.B. Golf is one of the few putter companies making long putters, and when it comes to custom options we’re way ahead of the game.

Before you pat us on the back, you should know that several people in our company swear by their broomsticks. Are we long putter freedom fighters? Maybe. Obsessed with our own putting? Definitely. Being the golf nerds we are, we’ve always believed that if we made cool stuff we want to play, others would probably want to play it, too.

Advanced engineering

LAB Golf’s proprietary formula and head design ensures a consistent center of gravity for every club they make — regardless of a player’s unique specifications. All putters are mechanically forged from 6061 aircraft aluminum and are heat treated to eliminate any natural inconsistencies in the metal. Using precision HAAS CNC machines, LAB engineers interpolate the shaft hole to create a snug fit and clean look where the shaft connects to the head.
