LAB Putters are all about consistency and have revolutionized the game for golfers. With LAB Golf, it’s all about “Lie Angle Balance,” hence the name.
They’ve pioneered so-called Lie Angle Balance Technology that basically eliminates torque and optimizes the performance of the putter face.
The secret is that these putters square automatically at impact – and that’s not something to be taken lightly.
According to their research, 83% of a putt’s starting direction is determined by the direction of the putter face at impact, with the remainder by the path of the putter head.
Which makes squaring critical.
Now here’s the thing. When LAB Putters are outfitted properly, they will square automatically, with no extra effort required by the golfer.
But that also means you need the right putter shaft, and thanks to LAB’s offerings, getting a custom golf shaft for one is a snap.
Here’s what they offer.
LAB Putters and Custom Golf Shafts
In the world of putter shafts, stiffer is better. The less the shaft flexes during the putt, the more consistently the putter will perform.
But there’s a catch. Stiffer shafts also provide less feedback, making them feel dead, and compromising sensitivity.
LAB Putters are configurable with a variety of custom golf shafts that have either been made or chosen through partnerships with leading manufacturers.
- LAB Golf’s TPT Putter shafts are an excellent choice for most golfers. Made with thin-ply carbon fiber, they offer an excellent balance between maximum stability and instant feedback. Like other TPT shafts, they have no spine and are made using an automated process that continuously winds a single strip of fiber to produce the shaft, resulting in impeccable consistency through the shaft walls.
- The Accra X, engineered for LAB Golf, is another excellent choice. It is made from high-modulus carbon fiber and offers high stability but with extra feel that provides a slightly greater degree of feedback. If you crave sensitivity it will be hard to do better than a golf shaft such as this.
- Accra X Lab Golf Long shafts, made from ultra-high modulus carbon fiber, are engineered for LAB’s ArmLock and Broomstick putters, and offer a good balance between stability and a softer feel.
- BGT Stability One shafts, by Breakthrough Golf Technologies, are the first one-piece shafts from the company. The difference here is that their other shafts have been made using multi-piece construction; the Stability One is a single piece, with an exceptionally soft feel. This shaft will fit any LAB Putter and will offer great stability paired with great feedback.
- BGT’s Long Black shafts, made from carbon fiber as well as more traditional materials, being aluminum and stainless steel, bring the sort of stability that you might need for longer putts. If you’re looking for stability and a surprisingly soft feel in a putter shaft that can deliver over longer distances, this is your shaft.
Naturally, the shaft itself is only one component of the fit. LAB Putters are also configurable with a variety of normal, pistol, and press grips that cater to the needs of various golfers – and by customizing the grip, shaft, and putter, you can revolutionize your game.
Working with a Fitter for Your Other Golf Clubs
Having all these options in custom golf shafts available for LAB putters really doesn’t do you any good if you don’t understand the nuanced differences of each, or if you don’t put the time in to do your research. A golf club fitter can help with that. Work with a professional before re-outfitting your putter to make sure you’re going with a shaft that works best for your requirements and abilities.
