L.A.B. Golf Putters: The Science Behind Zero Torque

L.A.B. Golf builds putters around Lie Angle Balance, a design meant to cancel out twisting through the stroke. Here's how it works.

L.A.B. Golf, short for Lie Angle Balance, builds every putter around a single goal, canceling out the torque that causes a putter face to twist open or closed during the stroke. It's a different starting point than most putter brands, which design around look and feel first.

How zero torque works

Standard putters balance around a single point near the shaft, which leaves the face free to rotate slightly through impact. L.A.B.'s designs, engineered with input from a mechanical engineer, distribute weight so the putter's balance point sits directly behind the face, reducing that twisting effect.

The lineup

The Mezz series and DF (Directional Force) models are the most widely played, popularized on tour by players including Adam Scott. Both use the same zero-torque principle in different head shapes and price points.
