EQUIPMENT: L.A.B. Unveils OZ.1 Putters

L.A.B. Golf has been in business since 2017. And while the Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) technology they pioneered has always been a fundamental aspect of their products, the performance gains have only recently gotten the attention they deserve, thanks to the help of professional adoption.

The dilemma with L.A.B.’s offerings has always been their unique shapes. But the all-new OZ.1 putter collection may be the easiest for golfers to put in the bag and benefit from L.A.B.’s proven technologies.

The OZ.1 will be available in two models: OZ.1i, which features the company’s first putter face insert, and OZ.1, which uses an all-aluminum construction.

Notably, the OZ.1 was developed in collaboration with 32-time tour winner Adam Scott. The partnership began in early 2023, with Scott sharing personal design goals that guided the development of OZ.1’s half-moon, solid-body construction—a design that balances modern aesthetics with timeless appeal.

Sam Hahn, CEO of L.A.B. Golf, said:

“We’ve always challenged ourselves to develop putters that resonate with world-class golfers while retaining all the performance benefits of Lie Angle Balance. Collaborating with Adam Scott was an inspiring and rewarding process for our team, and it provided invaluable insights into the nuances of shape, feel, sound, and performance from one of the most experienced and respected players on the PGA Tour.”

The OZ.1i is the First Putter from L.A.B. to feature a Face Insert

As mentioned above, “i” in OZ.1i stands for insert. The aluminum body is mechanically bonded to a fly-milled, medium-depth stainless steel insert to offer a firmer feel and faster ball speeds. As a result, the OZ.1i will appeal to golfers who prefer a responsive impact and the sleek look of insert putters.

For golfers who gravitate towards a softer feel, the one-piece, all-aluminum OZ.1 provides a similar experience to L.A.B. Golf’s best-selling DF3.

Both OZ.1i and OZ.1 share the same size and shape, with the only difference being the face construction. A new shape isn’t the only thing featured in the OZ.1 lineup. Both the OZ.1i and OZ.1 Custom models introduce a new 0-degree (Vertical) Shaft Lean option, giving golfers the option of a vertical shaft at address and compatibility with standard grips.

Both models, however, are also available with a 2-degree Shaft Lean option, similar to the DF3, which pairs well with L.A.B. Golf’s renowned Press Grip options.

But the 0-Degree Shaft Lean isn’t the only thing unique to the OZ.1i or OZ.1 Custom putters. Indeed, golfers who opt for Custom models can select their preferred length, lie angle, head weight, color, alignment marking, shaft, shaft lean, and grip, ensuring that each putter is tailored to the individual. As the list suggests, Custom Labs are among the most customizable putters golfers can add to their bags.

L.A.B.’s OZ.1 Putters Are Truly Custom, With Numerous Head Color Options Available

In honor of Adam Scott’s contributions to L.A.B. Golf, the company has launched OZ.1 Special Edition. This limited-edition release features L.A.B. Golf’s exclusive POLY ROO graphic on the sole, a tribute to Scott’s Australian heritage.
