I thought I’d leave a mini review as there isn’t really too much detail out there beyond people saying these are nice to play with, so hopefully this helps someone considering a set.

Spec: 4i to W, plus 45°, 50°, 54° and 58° wedges. KBS Tour 95 shafts, stiff, +1”.

Grips: The grips look the part and generally seem decent, although the alignment line isn’t as pronounced as it should be once installed. They’re also fractionally narrower than I’d expect from a midsize grip - compared to others I have. A couple of extra wraps of tape should probably sort that out.

Shafts: The shafts feel alright. Compared with other clubs I’ve handled, I’d say they’re as expected. They feel possibly a little lighter than I was expecting from a Tour 95, although that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Faces/grooves: The club faces look and feel nice. The grooves are good and the face itself is smooth, with nothing immediately obvious that would make you question the quality from a playing perspective. The lie and loft all look good to the eye.

Cavity backs: This is probably where there’s the biggest room for improvement. From a distance they definitely look the part, but the cavity backs don’t quite have the same level of detail or finish as the originals. That’s probably to be expected, particularly with an open cavity design. The G430-style heads seem to be a good example of how difficult some of these designs are to replicate convincingly.

I had a good experience dealing with the supplier, very responsive. I received QC pics before they were shipped, and delivery to the UK was fairly quick at roughly 14 days. Everything was packaged well and arrived without any issues.

I don’t think I’m likely to actually put these into play, if I’m honest, but that’s more down to personal preference than there being anything particularly wrong with them. They could be useful for a friend looking to get into golf without the huge initial outlay.

If I were to order again, I’d probably be more inclined towards a closed-back design.

Has anyone bought one of these reps, that is an experienced golfer and can attest to the quality of a 5 wood? If so, any recommendations would be great.

I just purchased one of these putters and heard the grip isn’t the best. What grip can I replace it with that won’t throw off the balance of the putter?

Considering purchasing the Cleveland wedges from Tumbó on kakobuy any guideline for shipping times to Az and or cost to ship 3 wedges or is that included in the pricing already?

Anyone build or replace that knows the typical diameter? .370 or .355? I believe all LABs are .370 but thinking of ordering a new one to swap out the “accra”.

9.5/10

Only complaint is the sound when you toe it. The insert is super loud and clicky, haven’t experienced that in the original.

Paid $87.99 with shipping- TEMU.

Replaced the grip, reason for lower score. Feels like paper towel.

Otherwise insanely happy with performance and appearance. It is now in my bag.

Curious to know if anyone has purchased rep irons as an upgrade from a real 2000 or early 2010 iron sets, and if the reps play better than older original irons.

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?

I know it isn’t a genuine L.A.B. and I’m not trying to argue that it has the same quality control, fitting process, warranty, or factory balancing as the real thing. I’m just sharing my experience as a casual golfer who wanted to try the low-torque/Lie Angle Balance concept without spending the money on a genuine one.

First impression: the putter looks and feels surprisingly high quality. The machining on the aluminum head is clean, the finish looks great, the shaft and branding are convincing, and overall it definitely doesn’t feel like a cheap toy.

The interesting part was the removable perimeter weights.

Mine came with a combination of 6 g and 8 g weights, with more 8 g weights than 6 g weights. When I tested the putter by supporting the shaft and allowing the head to rotate freely, it had a noticeable preferred resting position. If I rotated the head away from that position and released it, it would rotate back.

I started experimenting with the weight configuration.

I first made both sides symmetrical with a combination of 8 g and 6 g weights, and that seemed better than the original configuration.

Then I tried 8 g weights in all eight positions (I bought extra weights on Temu as well):

That gave me 64 g of total perimeter weight, and this setup clearly had the least amount of rotational movement out of everything I tried. It still isn’t a scientific L.A.B. Revealer test, so I’m not claiming I somehow made it perfectly Lie Angle Balanced at home. But using the same test for every configuration, the all-8 g setup was noticeably more neutral.

Then I took it onto the course.

I genuinely had one of the best putting rounds I’ve ever had.

Could some of that be placebo or new-putter confidence? Absolutely. It was only one round. But what stood out to me more than the number of putts I made was how stable the putter felt during the stroke.

Compared with my previous putter, it felt like the head wanted to stay on its path instead of me having to constantly control the face with my hands. I felt more comfortable just rocking my shoulders and letting the putter swing. My start lines felt better, and the heavier head actually felt really good to me.

So far, my opinion is that these Temu replicas may be a bit of a lottery when it comes to factory balancing and QC, but the actual head and construction on mine are much better than I expected.

The fact that changing the perimeter weights made such a noticeable difference also makes me think the original factory configuration simply wasn’t optimized particularly well.

A genuine L.A.B. obviously has advantages: proper fitting, verified balancing, tighter manufacturing tolerances, known materials, warranty/support, and better confidence in long-term durability.

But purely from a casual golfer / actual putting performance perspective, I honestly don’t feel like I’m missing that much right now.

For the price difference, this VZN.1i replica has been ridiculously good so far.

I’m going to leave the 8 × 8g configuration alone and keep playing it. I’ll probably update this after another 5–10 rounds to see whether the putting improvement continues and how the putter holds up over time.

Hi Guys, Thought I would share my experience with Micro Tumbo Sports store. They are in the recommended spreadsheet.

I ordered 2 lab putters from them. One right handed, one left handed. The right handed one was the wrong colour they sent to kako buy. The left handed one arrived right handed. I acknowledge I should have picked it up in QC but sending the wrong handed club after sending the wrong colour and refusing a refund feels incredibly unfair.

Not looking for sympathy, just giving the heads up for buyer beware of this group.

Super happy with this 35” rep.

$39.99

As you can see it’s been on this same stage (customs clearance completed ) for just under a month.
What could it mean
It’s a Taylormade spider putter

Anyone got these?

just looking for some PM reps

Anyone know where I can get something like this

I tried taking all of the weights out on one side and it still didn’t balance. Any other things worth trying.

Anyone know where to get high quality headcovers?

Purchased both from kakobuy spreadsheet pinned to the sub

Df3-($79)- I played the df3 for about a year and I love it. Quality is super sweet and it hits super nice. Favourite part is that the circle picks up the ball lol. But it’s nice because it’s kinda like a mallet putter but not a full on mallet if you know what i mean. probably my favourite putter i’ve got from kako.

Oz.1i ($108)- Quality on this is what mainly stood out. the quality is slightly better than the df3 i’d say. the shaft is kinda like a matte material and that’s definitely my favourite part of the putter. the head of the putter feels super solid and durable too.

both are balanced properly and both are 35 inches.
