Our take on the LAB Golf L.A.B. DF3 Counter Balance

The L.A.B. DF3 Counter Balance is a face-balanced mallet putter built around LAB Golf's Lie Angle Balance design, which aims to keep the face square through the stroke with minimal torque. The counter-balanced build adds weight above the grip to steady the hands and quiet the stroke. It is a large, high-MOI head aimed at golfers who struggle with face rotation and want a stroke that repeats under pressure. Against conventional mallets it asks for a more upright, hands-quiet technique and a period of adjustment, but owners who commit tend to report tighter dispersion on short putts.

Questions and answers

What does Lie Angle Balance actually do?
It is designed so the putter face stays square to the path without the golfer fighting torque. In practice it rewards a quiet-handed stroke and reduces face rotation.
Is the counter balance version different from the standard DF3?
Yes. The counter balance adds weight above the grip to steady the hands and tempo. The head shape and alignment are the same.
Will it suit my arcing putting stroke?
It is built for a straight-back, straight-through stroke. Golfers with a strong arc often find it fights their natural release.
How long does it take to adjust?
Most owners report a few rounds and practice sessions before the stroke feels natural. The size and the hands-quiet technique are the main adjustments.
What is in the box?
The putter comes with its grip and headcover. Check the listing for the exact grip and length you select.
Is it right for high handicappers?
It can help golfers who lose putts to face rotation, but the large head and technique change suit players willing to practice. Beginners may prefer a simpler blade first.
