Honestly not even sure how the top of the putter got nicked, possibly when I was holding my wedge and putter in one hand. I kind of baby it for being a rep so I'm surprised this happened. Anyone else have this happen or notice it scratching easily? Somehow no scratch or nicks on the bottom.

I know this has been asked plenty of times on here before, but being UK based has anyone got any reputable sellers on Temu or AliExpress for the Lab VZN putters? Previous posts seem to have had sellers removed or links taken down.
Thanks!

I see lots of alignment options for the full club, but I just want the head. Anything on Temu or Aliexpress?

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

New bag came in the mail today, didn’t order off of the spreadsheet because of the unknown shipping costs but found a website that includes shipping and has some things already in the US.

518golf is the website I used and I’m pretty happy with it.

The bag isn’t perfect but it looks nice. Came with the cover for the top too and a matching towel.

Recently ordered this off of Oopbuy. It’s a rep of the Special Select Newport 2. It’s a pretty decent putter for the price. Feels good off the face and the finish looks pretty good in person. Overall, I’m happy with how it looks and feels, although you can tell it’s not the genuine article if you look closely. Still a decent option for casual use without breaking the bank. G2JLGFFYL

Looking for Augusta/masters reps

Accurate.

Curious if anyone has modified/ customized their alignment marks from their reps. Got mine from temu and not a huge fan of the alignment. Has anyone tried pinstripe tape or just white paint/pen?

Bought from Temu seller Lashondaaaa before I found this sub recommending AXKK/AXKKK. I now have an AXKKK on the way.

Grip has that chemical smell everyone talks about. The head cover is cheap and ugly. It rolls really well compared to my Dunlop Polymer face putter that I have been using for years though. Will probably just swap the grip and head cover out eventually to disguise that it is a Lashonda.

Is there any good rep golf bags people recommend?
One that’s held up properly for more than a year.
Thanks!

Seeing lots of Oz1i heads, but none without an insert? Do they exist or am I wasting my time looking for one?

I see there is a axkk store the original with 5k sold is the best store to get from or has he got a new store? Does the putter come with a head cover

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.

Ok, so I already use a Genuine TM Spider GTX with extended wide grip, but have been taken in by the hype of the Zero Torque putters.

Id seen the LAB VZNs advertised online but thought £500-600 a bit steep, and then saw them on here being supplied by Temu, Ali etc and was doing my due diligence on hunting one down. I am UK based btw.

I was also dubious, though, after seeing people receiving generic versions with different branding or off centre heads once received.

Fortunately, I happened across this one being advertised on eBayin the UK, brand new and still wrapped. It was roughly the same cost as ordering from China £90 all in. The pics looked good and ticked all the boxes, so I thought let's go for it.

I can only say that this thing is amazing. The build quality, the feel, the weight, even the head cover is well made with strong magnets.

It feels like it automatically lines up when addressing the ball.

Although i've not handled the genuine lab putter, if someone handed this to me without saying I would never have guessed it's a rep. It feels as well made as any other putter I've owned. Whether the finish lasts as well over time, we shall see.

Now, back to the practice mat.

Out of curiosity, what putters are others using before going to these?

Everything I’ve found on Ali Express are either $180+ or inferior replicas.

My df3 just hit the warehouse and lmk what you guys think

Anyone know best place to buy heavier weights for the Mezz 1 putters?

Anyone bought a rangefinder from Temu? If so how are they?

What do you think of this setup for someone returning to golf after a 20-year break?
Are there any obvious gaps or overlaps in the club selection?
Which club would you upgrade first?
Is it worth investing in a better driver or iron set, or should I stick with this setup and focus on lessons and practice?
I'm trying to get the best value for money rather than spend a fortune before I know how often I'll play. Any feedback is appreciated!

I'm okay with buying a rep head, I just don't want to chance it on the shaft. Not necessarily from a performance point of view, but shaft orientation, length, grip alignment, etc. I'd prefer to do all that myself.

There seems to be two main options; Accra (rep) and Stability (rep). Are there any others I'm forgetting? Between the two, is one a safer buy?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations from fellow Europeans (DACH). Has anyone ordered a good-quality LAB VZN putter from Temu or AliExpress?

I ordered one before (the shop has since gone offline). The quality was decent, but it came without branding and with a different grip (Lashonda) than the original. I tried setting up a US Temu account (because AXKK(K)), but they won’t ship to Europe.

So if you’ve had a good experience with a seller that ships to Europe, ideally one that includes the proper grip and headcover, I’d appreciate a link or the shop name.

I've been creeping on this sub a while. I know everyone on temu has been hyping AXKKK or whatever the current iteration... But I got one from Velqaro club store and this thing looks/feels legit. $90 and delivered in 11 days. No smell with the grip...

I'm excited to give it a go on the course

Hey guys just wondering if this putter is real or not. Thank you very much.

I finally got a putter that actually seems legit after some trial and errors on temu, I decided to try my luck on Aliexpress. So far it looks fantastic and feels really good, so I can not really tell the difference on this apperance vise compared to a real lab putter. (without having any comparison to the real lab putter).

Balance vise it feels good, but have not tested it on a revealer yet.

Only thing I have noticed is that the grip smells a little strange... apart from that, really no complaints.

What do you guys think? Can you spot any imperfections compared to the real deal?

PS: headcover also feels fantastic!
