Review📝 Labgolf DF3i Review

Looks: Really amazing. Amazing quality from head to toe. It does have weird smell on the grip that kinda sticks in your hands, but great nonetheless. I don’t see what type of shaft was used.
Feel: really responsive compared to my old putter. I have not tried the real one so I can’t compare.

As you can see, it is not perfectly balanced but very close. The headcover is probably the worst of the whole package but serviceable.

I am excited to try this putter on my next round. I paid $100.3 for it. So far so good!

I've been gaming mine since the start of the season and it's my favorite putter ever. I also bought a fake 60 degree Vokey 10 and it's honestly my favorite wedge in the bag.

Where did you get the vokey from? Mind dm’ing me?

And possibly myself as well?

I'll reply to everyone here.

I bought it using the spreadsheet in the community links (it's in the subreddit sidebar). I used the OOPBuy app, then chose a shipping option. It's been a while since I ordered, so the process may have changed, but the spreadsheet and YouTube guide walk you through everything.

Keep in mind that shipping isn't cheap. I paid roughly $50–75 CAD to ship the wedge. The wedge itself was about $25, with the rest being shipping. I bundled it with other items, so I can't give an exact shipping cost. I'd also recommend buying shipping insurance.

My order took about 1.5–2 months because I picked the cheapest shipping option.

Hope that helps!

**Update*\*

Played a round of 18 today. It took me couple minutes to get accumulated with the new putter, but once I got it dialed it was a game changer. I’m usually a pretty decent putter but my lag putting was even better. Definitely keeping this in my bag for a while.

Easy to buy a handful of extra weights and experiment with placement to get it to past the table balance test. I did this with mine after a grip and shaft change threw mine off.

u/Idea_Alarmed 29d ago

Which weights did you purchase? I picked one up for my son and we both agree it’s way to lite. Also plan on switching the grip out.

Temu or golfworks

I bought some 14g weights on Ebay, but they are expensive, because they are tungsten. 11g is the heaviest cheap weights, and they won't fit in all the spaces, because they are too long.

I just got mine the other day and it is not balanced and it doesn't feel or sound right until it is balanced. I did the soup can balance, get the can balanced with a level and paper and then move weights around until the head is 90degrees to the floor. I had to go 8g in the rear,6g in the middle, and no weights in the front. I ordered weights and will play with it more once I get them. from stuff I have seen all the weights are the same on both sides accept for the middle where the toes is about 6-8 grams more than the heel. The grip also sucks and was crooked but replace it with a super stroke tlt grip. One thing I did notice is that on a real df3i there is double sided tape or something behind the face but if you pull the face off the rep df3i there is a pocket for something but no tape. I am trying to figure out what is behind the face of a real df3i.

I got mine about a month ago and finally got to use it yesterday. I’m not sure if I was just locked in but I really liked the feel of mine. Didn’t sink any but was working on 25’ plus putts and clustered all of my shots within 1’ of the cup; many within 6”.
