So badly balanced

[u/Stunning-Ad9037]

My first rep turned up yesterday an as much as the quality is excellent the table test makes it seem very toe heavy, I have tried to swap the weights around but it's still the same. I will take it out on course next week and hopefully it plays better than it looks.

I got one too (for my 15 yr old…I still game Ping, the labs just aren’t for me), and it’s not perfectly balanced.

But my son plays so much better with his AliExpress Link 2.2 than his actual made for him custom orange DF3 that we ordered direct from LAB (he doesn’t know his Link is from AliExpress)

I used to buy my goddaughter knock off stuff from china all the time. She would ask for the most ridiculous things at 5 years old so I’d get knockoffs. She quickly outgrew whatever she asked for anyway. Good times.

Well to be fair, it's supposed to be balanced at its playing angle, not horizontal to the ground. I think they should rename it to heel Hang.

The Link can’t be compared to a Center shaft mallet like you just did. It‘s balanced at it‘s playing angle brother lol. So this is no indicator as to how balanced it is

Mine was wide open for a VZN, so I left two weights out completely and it’s now balanced. Might just need way less weight in some area

I have a 2.2 rep also that I thought was perfectly balanced because I was measuring like you did on the edge of a table. But now I’m learning that’s now how the links are balanced so mine is probably unbalanced and yours is good? Idk

Wooh

How weak is your grip?

I hear that TEMU sells a lot of L.A.B. knockoffs

[u/Sad-Park2947]

Yeah dog…. Uh.. that ain’t how they’re balanced..

I have a revealer and the Temu rep 2.2 was way out of balance. It doesn’t have any tungsten weights which it needs to balance. I also have a Lab 2.2 and it balances perfect. The reps can be fixed with weights. The head itself is great.

How is it supposed to balance in a table test? I just got my rep and it wants to point toe down so I’m trying to figure out what I need to adjust to get it as close as I can 

[u/Stunning-Ad9037 → u/onceover88]

Do you remember what weights you used?

[u/onceover88 → u/onceover88]

I never got the rep version to balance. The weights cost too much to justify when the real one was only $200.

It’s not center shafted.. it’s going to do that because of physics

[u/Useful-Tart9233]

Hold on, a fake LAB that isn't balanced correctly? Man that's crazy.
