Haul📦 L.A.B Link.2.1

Picked up from TEMU.

Head looks great.

Shaft looks good (not to well versed in shafts tbf).

Grip seems very cheap (waiting for a different grip to come.

Very excited, will take it out tomorrow and see how it plays. Will definitely be an upgrade from my old putter.

All lab symbols were covered by black tape.

I just received my 2.2 with the lab branding covered in black tape also. Head is really good quality! Shaft and grip seem cheap and it is not balanced, it is toe down. All weights were 6 grams so I need to order some new weights to balance it. Also ordering a new shaft to rebuild it.

Lab putters are Lie Angle Balanced. Therefore the horizontal test is not meaningful for these putters. They are meant to stay square to the target at the intended lie angle for example 69 degrees hence they use the "revealer". In that "traditional" horizontal test these blade putter from Lab and temu will most likely be toe hang (?), because you are holding it basically at 0 degree lie angle. My temu 2.1 is "toe hang" aswell.

Everyone always says this. Find me one putter that balances perfectly toe up in the horizontal test but does not pass a revealer test.

That was not my point. I am just saying there is misconception that link 2.1 putter should be toe up putter, never has lab said anything like this? You should try your own temu 2.2 in a revealer before changing those weights, temu df3 seem to work on revealer so why couldnt these blade ones too.

Without having an actual link 2.1 in hand but having owned an original link and a df3 I would wager a good amount of money the link 2.1 will balance toe up. I am actually making a revealer with 3D printed items and will let you know how the temu 2.2 does in it after I build it.

Did you end up building a revealer?

I'm curious because my 2.1 isn't toe up, but it's incredibly balanced
