CRESWELL, Oregon — L.A.B. Golf’s new DF3 Custom putter is now available for ArmLock and Broomstick builds.
DF3 first launched in January 2024 for standard-length and counterbalance builds only, and it has quickly become the company’s best-selling putter model. DF3 is inspired by the company’s original design, Directed Force, but was reimagined to be smaller and sleeker while honoring the shape of the putter that started it all for the company.
”One of the reasons DF3 has been so successful is the amount of time we spent working on the small things that really matter when it comes to falling in love with a putter,” said L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn. “We’ve done the same thing with DF3 putter heads for ArmLock and Broomstick builds to make sure that these larger, heavier putter heads look and perform and are fully optimized.”
DF3 ArmLock and Broomstick builds look the same at address as other DF3 builds, but the height of the putter heads has been increased 13% to add the necessary weight to these longer-length putters.
DF3 ArmLock and Broomstick builds also include four more weight ports for Lie Angle Balance tuning and the bottom of the sole has more curvature to help these generally more upright putters maintain optimal performance on uneven surfaces.
Like L.A.B. Golf’s DF 2.1 putter, DF3 is “fully automatic.” That means golfers will get the full experience of DF3 wanting to guide itself on the correct path on the way back and through. This is possible thanks to L.A.B. Golf’s patented Lie Angle Balance technology.
The technology creates true zero-torque putters. Golfers can trust that L.A.B. Golf putters will return to square without any need for manipulation.
Despite not paying professionals to use its putters, L.A.B. Golf has earned multiple wins on each of golf’s leading tours including the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, PGA Tour Champions, the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour LatinoAmérica, the Challenge Tour, and the KPGA.
One aspect of the DF3 design that adds fun and utility is the DF3’s “Gimme Getter.” It’s a golf ball-shaped cut out on the rear of the putter that is designed to retrieve a golf ball when a golfer presses it onto a golf ball.
DF3 ArmLock ($629 MAP) and Broomstick ($639 MAP) putter builds are available via labgolf.com and at golf retailers across the world including PGA Tour SuperStore, Golf Galaxy, Golf Town, and Club Champion.
Like other DF3 Custom putter builds, the putters are available in eight different colors, three different head weight options, and they come with the choice of 46 different alignment markings as well as upgrade shaft and grip options.
