The L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Stock Putter represents a bold step forward in the evolution of Lie Angle Balanced putters. Combining insights from tour-level sensitivities and cutting-edge engineering, the OZ.1i is built to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

A Tour-Inspired Collaboration

The development of the OZ.1i was driven by the unique needs and preferences of elite golfers. L.A.B. Golf collaborated with Adam Scott to bring this vision to life, starting in early 2023. His input, drawn from his experience and preferences, played a pivotal role in shaping the putter’s design. Inspired by the rear contours of a high-performance 2021 German sports car and the front of an iconic mallet putter, the final design balances tradition and innovation. After numerous prototypes and refinements, the OZ.1i emerged as a sleek, half-moon-style mallet that combines beauty with functionality.

Face Insert Options

The OZ.1i introduces L.A.B. Golf’s first face insert, offering golfers greater control over sound and feel. Its 303 stainless steel insert provides a firmer feel and faster ball speeds, catering to those who prefer a crisp impact. For golfers seeking a softer feel, the aluminum-bodied OZ.1 model replicates the feedback of L.A.B.’s popular DF3 putter. Both versions maintain identical dimensions and shapes, ensuring consistency across the OZ.1 lineup.

Solid-Body Construction for Enhanced Performance

The OZ.1i stands out as L.A.B. Golf’s first solid-body mallet putter, forgoing the large cutouts and fangs found in other models. This innovative design enhances the sound and feel, offering a more traditional mallet experience. Despite its “normal” appearance, the OZ.1i retains the hallmark forgiveness and stability that L.A.B. Golf mallets are known for, rivaling the DF3 and MEZZ.1 MAX in performance.

Lie Angle Balance Technology

As with all L.A.B. Golf putters, the OZ.1i is 100% Lie Angle Balanced, ensuring that the putter naturally stays square to the arc during the stroke. This technology simplifies putting, reducing the need for manual corrections and enabling straighter, more consistent rolls.

Upgrade your putting with the L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Custom Grey Accra 38″, a premium custom-built putter designed for golfers who want stability, technology, and a refined modern look in one exceptional package.

The OZ.1i features L.A.B. Golf’s renowned Lie Angle Balance technology, engineered to reduce twisting during the putting stroke and help the face stay more stable through impact. Its tour-inspired mallet shape offers a confident look at address, while the grey finish gives the putter a clean, understated, premium appearance.

The OZ.1i model includes a stainless steel face insert, providing a firmer, more responsive feel and excellent feedback off the face. Paired with the premium Accra shaft, this custom 38″ build offers a high-end setup for golfers who appreciate both performance and attention to detail.

Ideal for players who want the forgiveness and stability of a modern mallet without sacrificing a clean, premium profile, the L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i Custom Grey Accra is a standout putter for serious golfers, collectors, and anyone wanting a truly special flatstick in the bag.

The DF3 performs virtually the same as the original Directed Force, rendering mis-hits inconsequential, regardless of whether they’re struck on the heel or toe. While M.O.I., stability, and forgiveness levels are effectively unchanged, the DF3’s compact shape is much more appealing than its ungainly predecessor. It’s worth noting that the cutout at the putter’s tail picks up the ball without necessitating bending over.

L.A.B. outfits their putters with their own Press Grips, and for good reason. Almost all of the best golfers in the world employ a forward press because it helps the ball track faster and roll truer while reducing unwanted skidding and backspin. Unfortunately, positioning your hands ahead of the ball is difficult to learn and execute. Press Grips establish forward lean through the grip design, eliminating another putting stroke variable.

DF3 still does everything golfers love about the original. It stays square by itself. It’s still irrationally forgiving on mishits. But there’s a lot less to think about.

The DF3 is entirely CNC milled from 6061 aluminum, with 8 screws on the bottom made of steel or tungsten in various densities to precisely target swing weight and lie angle balance each putter.

Machined right here in the good ol’ U.S.A., each head is then assembled and hand-balanced at our factory in Creswell, Oregon.

Armlock/Broomstick Builds

The head shape of DF3 ArmLock/Broomstick builds is the same from the top view as standard builds. The height of the putter heads has been increased by 13% to add the necessary weight to these longer-length putters. ArmLock/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.

WE LISTENED

Ever since we launched our first putter, Directed Force, golfers have been asking if we could make it less weird. DF3 is that putter. We took a chisel to the original Lie Angle Balanced putter to make DF3 smaller and sleeker while honoring the shape of the putter that started it all for us.

DF3 still does everything golfers love about the original. It stays square by itself. It’s still irrationally forgiving on mishits. But DF3 is going to be a lot more happy-making to the vast majority of golfers because it sets up clean and feels and sounds like a dream.

WE LEARNED

Lie Angle Balance is the new frontier of putting. It has the power to resurrect careers on tour and make putting fun for the rest of us. Scientifically, it just makes more sense. But designing a Lie Angle Balanced putter? Not so simple. Other companies have the benefit of creating a pretty putter head and then adding in any shaft or grip. We don’t do that.

Lie Angle Balance has to be considered in every aspect of the design. And then each individual L.A.B. Golf putter, including DF3, has to be hand-balanced by a very skilled and highly trained human.

We’ve learned so much over the years building Lie Angle Balanced putters, and it gave us a leg up in the DF3 design. We love every putter we’ve created, but in the past we had to make compromises around looks and sound to make putters Lie Angle Balanced. We didn’t have to do that with DF3.

THE PERFORMANCE IS CRAZY TOO

Through a few important design tricks, we were able to make DF3 perform essentially the same as Directed Force. Like Directed Force, DF3 is “fully automatic.” That means you’re going to get the full experience of DF3 wanting to guide itself on the correct path on the way back and through.

Just like the original, mishits effectively don’t matter. Putts hit on the heel and toe will roll a lot like those hit off the center. There’s just less to think about on the golfer side with DF3. And isn’t that kind of the point in putter design?

The DF3 is entirely CNC milled from 6061 aluminum, with 8 screws on the bottom made of steel or tungsten in various densities to precisely target swing weight and lie angle balance each putter.

Machined right here in the good ol’ U.S.A., each head is then assembled and hand-balanced at our factory in Creswell, Oregon.

Most importantly, we maintained the forgiveness our mallets are known for to make sure OZ.1i and OZ.1 measured up to our extremely popular DF3 and MEZZ.1 MAX putters in terms of stability. Like all of our putters, OZ.1i and OZ.1 are 100% Lie Angle Balanced.

OZ.1i Custom and OZ.1 Custom are our first mallets to offer a 0-Degree (Vertical) Shaft Lean option. We developed this vertical shaft option for golfers who:

1. Prefer to see a vertical shaft at address
2. Want to use a standard grip on a L.A.B. Golf mallet. 

OZ.1i Custom and OZ.1 Custom will also be available with a 2-Degree Shaft Lean option, which is the same lean as DF3. 

Golfers who choose the 2-Degree Shaft Lean option will want to pair their putter with a Press Grip. Golfers that choose the 0-Degree shaft lean should not use Press Grip.

Thanks to Lie Angle Balance, both putters feel great and roll straight. We think the putter that rolls the straightest rolls the best.

OZ.1i Stock and OZ.1 Stock are built to our most popular lie angle: 69 degrees. As they say in the golf equipment business, standard is standard for a reason (it fits a lot of golfers). Every OZ.1i Stock and OZ.1 Stock putter is built to the same rigorous standards as our custom putters.
