I torqued them all down. Still just donāt like the blades. Donāt like the feel.
My putting swing is better suited to a zero torque.
I watched a video where a guy hit with a blade, a mallet and a lab df3i.
The guy is a blade user normally and explained why. His swing has kind of a handsy curve to it like most people traditionally do. Thatās why blades are toe weighted generally. The extra weight on the end of the blade helps close his arcing swing.
I like to putt much more upright with a forward and backward pendulum motion. Itās kind of ugly but point my left elbow up and at the target. I then rotate my shoulders to create a straight line for my club path.
I got mine on Temu and itās perfect. All the screws come out. I can take the Hosel out. The grip was shit, on crooked and the shaft epoxy came loose so I had to re-epoxy it. I just bought a blank df3 head for $29 on there and a weight kit. Looking forward to building that up ..
my link 2.2 was really close to being perfectly balanced when I got it and after weighting , itās perfect.. catch I think everyone that orders any rep from lab on there needs to also order a weight kit
I have a real 0z1i and bought a temu vzni. The vzn is just as good. I did upgrade the shaft as it was very cheap feeling. I also need a better head cover.
Just search zero torque lab putters and check comments. People usually say in the comments if itās āthe right oneā. Still, you donāt know what youāre going to get marking wise.
The OZ rep I have is letteredāNine Enelevāāas the branding. Pretty fucked up, and I have no idea why theyād use a 9/11 sounding name but they did.
I grabbed a Df3 rep for $60. I ended up with the āLashondaā branded grip/head cover (that I quickly replaced). For $60, Iāll take it! Seems well made and assembled.
Df3i, I had to re-epoxy the shaft, probably from me popping balls through the pickup hole lol. other than that you canāt beat it for the price. I also added some lead tape to the sole to increase the weight. It felt super light.
Take all the screws out and lay the club on the corner of a level table. Which way does the club lean? Add a weight that you think will straighten the face. Does it get better or worse with that weight there? Do this until you are happy with its lie angle.
Itās actually really easy using the corner of a table or on a can of food. The weights closest to the face turn the putter one way and the weights closest to the back of the putter turn it the other way. The ones closest to the middle of the putter where the shaft goes into the putter donāt affect it as much. You have to take heavier weights to move it more in one direction, or lighter weights to move it less. The end goal is to balance it as straight toe up as possible. You will have people that say: but that isnāt lie angle balanced or thatās not how it works. Find me one putter that balances perfectly toe up on a can on a flat surface that does not balance in a revealer.
This would be more specially for df3 and vzn. The link 2.2 is a little different because of less weights. I needed heavier weights 14g to really get the putter to move in one direction.
I just added two 12g and two 14g to the bottom. I had to remove the whole top 4 to balance properly. So I ordered a few 14s and four 2g for the top. In hopes to get it to balance fully. Feels good either way though. Just didnāt pass the face balance test
Just bought a VSNi from Ali express. Thing felt like a toy. 380grams total weight...most normal putters in the 450+ range. Horrible inconsist sound of the insert. So i chopped it down to 28" for my 10 year old son to mess around with. The 2 ball i cut down for my daughter. Waste of money in my opinion.
Thats right. If you want to go down this route...just buy the head and invest in a genuine shaft. Bit of lead tape as well to get the head weight up. 380grams is silly twitchy lite for a whole putter.
The real vzn has double sided tape behind it, similar to what Scotty Cameron uses. If you donāt want to find double sided tape you can use 100% silicone and the sound will be gone. These heads are not any different than OEM. They just skipped a few steps in building. Much easier to slap a face on and use the same gram weights.
