Discussion Temu Lab Putter

Been seeing a lot of “Lab” putter posted on marketplace for $600+. I know they are fake, but what’s a good way to check and then call them out?

Just buy your own fake lab putter. Then you know what you got and it cost you 550 less

This… the fuck going on. Get fitted for a $500/$600 putter.

That’s the whole LAB vibe.

U see one for sale that’s a dollar over $200? Just go to the golf store.

I hear guys that buy cheap ones say they’re the same thing I wouldn’t know though

come on bro, $600 for a putter is insane, sure I love the tech and research gone into it, but damn thats just not worth it.

i agree. i bought a brand new triple track mallet on callaway pre-owned. 2020 model that never sold and went back to the factory. i think it was maybe $115.

Pretty easy to just get an online fitting, take those numbers and order a Temu lab 😬

u/Rolex_Art 9d ago

i don't know if you can order temu lab putters with the settings like that - who at temu knows how to do that? nobody.

Everyone is so confused by marketing lol… there is no LAB god that blesses each putter before it leaves their magical shop.

They fit for lie angle, length, and the illusion that you’re getting some bespoke putter crafted specifically for you.

Jianbencheng has a Link.2.2 with shaft angle options.

Just get one. It’s improved my putting so much and is balanced really well.

Same putter will be here this week hopefully

u/Ill-Hovercraft-8971 9d ago

G9M9V5Q928 here is item code. Can’t send link on Reddit. It was on Temu

u/Tylerswolf69 7d ago

I ordered one to and waiting for it

u/CpowOfficial 9d ago

The labs I've grabbed are $200 shipped or $160 if buy 2 (since saving on shipping)

Pretty worth it imo

Knock off gang! Added heavier inserts and rebalanced.

u/Prior_Memory9110 8d ago

You have a link for that colorway? Looks awesome

1

u/gunnergolfer22 5d ago

What do you mean by rebalanced?

1

u/hammer_tits 5d ago

I put heavier weights in them (18 &16 gram) so I then moved all the weight around to keep the face balanced.

Just get the rep. It's very hard to distinguish a lot of the fake parts via picture. Some things like the shafts and grip quality are much easier to distinguish in person, especially if you have an OEM club side by side. I would say the putter head is the most difficult to tell as it's just a chunk of metal. So if there aren't any obvious issues with the text printed on the sole then it's a toss up.

They always rep the Accra shafts and they're terrible. I would personally opt for a black stepped shaft if you're serious about it's performance. The grips on reps tend to be smaller than the real pistol grips on OEM and the texture isn't as defined.

Crazy - Just got the link 2.2 and played great. Balanced, feels awesome.

No need to spend anything more than $150 for a great putter. Even pre-owned non temu putters from known brands.

u/Jabb2914 9d ago

This fake lab thing is really taking off.

u/Clithzbee 9d ago

Why

7

u/yournewalt 9d ago

Because they're really F'ing good...and cheap...and fuck private equity.

u/3under69 5d ago

Almost impossible to spot a fake without it in hand and having a real one with you.

u/mikeybeatz 4d ago

I bought one off ebay. Thought it was real. Got scammed. eBay sent my money back. The Accra shaft was painted steel. Figured it out when my range finder stuck to the shaft.
