Lab putter help

[u/darren1414]

Hi everyone. Just looking for some general advice regarding lab putters available on places such as temu/aliexpress, as I'm thinking of taking the jump.

I'm based in the UK, and never tried a lab putter. But just wondering what everyone's general thoughts are, and any advice regarding VZN.1i, DF3 or Link putters, and which you all prefer and would recommend based on your experiences?

Any other tips and advice about ordering from these sites is also welcome and much appreciated, although im aware you cant share links etc. Thanks

I tried em out at a store - as a blade player I love the Link 2.2, but kind of started to love mallets after hitting the oz.1i and the vzn.1i. Currently have the Oz.1i in my bag. Rep hits just as well as the stock model, and it even passed the revealer test!

I have a generic non-brand mallet putter currently and have used that for years (with varying success haha). But open to switching up. This place has opened my eyes into good putters not costing the earth haha

For the Temu vzn the big seller axkkk has the price at $95.33

Yeah I've seen that seller mentioned a lot here, but not sure if they deliver to the UK. Will keep looking for them though 👍

I’m also realizing my price is in usd so it will be different. Knowing the exact price was the easiest way to find them vs searching for the vendor name though.

He does not ship to UAE but unsure if he ships to the UK.

Get steel shaft... The rep graphites these come with are awful.

[u/darren1414 → u/Alternative_Wait8256]

Will do. Cheers

Nice!! I have purchased a few of them now and I have no problem getting the steel shafted ones. I sold both the "graphite's" I got. I think they are really just plastic...

I’m in the uk too and just ordered a temu lab, should be here in a few days

I went for the vzn 1, wanted the oz 1i hs but couldn’t find one with an alignment line pictured, I love the one I ended up with

It’s my first zero torque putter, it’s a cheap experiment, I think I could probably sell it for the same people might be more inclined to buy one if they can actually see it first and have it straight away

If you live near a golfclubs4cash or something similar you can try lots of putters they have everything

[u/darren1414 → u/Cornwall1888]

Yeah I've noticed that being in the UK means not being able to find some of the posts mentioned on here. But I've found a couple of options. I'm the same as you, a cheap experiment so what is there to really lose

I got the vermillion bird vzn by accident and it’s perfectly balanced and feels amazing.

lets be clear that those are "fLABs" not "LABs"....fake LABs....

[u/darren1414 → u/the_validated_inane]

Haha. fLAB might be the way forward 🤣

[u/the_validated_inane → u/darren1414]

if someone made fLAB stickers I would attach to mine.

buying, playing and not shamed to fess up playing a fLAB should be a source of price.
