For anyone interested , they currently have 4 returned/used DF3 models and 2 returned/used Mezz models all at a reduced price.

One thing that I noticed is on the Mezz models, the paint seems to chip.on the sharp edges.

The also have new LAB putters, couple of broomstick models with the Accra shaft.

I tried using the DF3 again, it's just not for me.

In looking at the LAB putters, to me those look like they need some customization to get the lie angle right. The lab looks to me like it requires that to square the face up.

I tend to have my hands a little low compared to the “proper” address to get the club head flat and square.

While no Isao Aoki, the toe of my putter is slightly elevated. Works for me though.

I believe different ones had different prices.

I don't know if this is true , but a guy said that they may barter on the price sometimes. He bought a used set of Muria's from them.

Isao Aoki


I had never heard of this dude. Just saw his only PGA win came on a hole out eagle at the hawaiian open. I have seen guys who putt like that and my first thought is always yuck. I dont pretend to fully understand all the physics of golf, and i guess its really about catching the sweet spot. But that Aoki stroke just aint right.

Im interested to see how many of my buddies have heard of this guy.

Aoki pushed Nicklaus at Baltusrol.

He could play.

That toe up putting is unorthodox, but it worked for him.

How do you know it’s an old golfer?

Mention Aoki and the first reaction you get is “how did he ever make a putt”

No way I could look at that thing and take my putting seriously.

LAB putters


I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I remember that people will pay $1000.00 for a putter.


A. PUTTER.

If you ever see one in my bag it's because I found it on the course and am bringing it back to the clubhouse.

The whole thing about the LAB Putters is that you have to get the correct length and lie for your stroke. Stock Lie angle is 69 degrees and lengths are 34” and 35”.
If you’re flatter, you would need to order a custom built LAB. The price increases significantly, stock price is $449.00, custom price is $559.99 and if you upgrade the shaft to graphite that’s an extra $100.00.
I got custom fitted at PGASS for free because I ordered the LAB. But my DF3 cost me $715 shipped and it took 4 weeks to be delivered.

I mean the prices of golf equipment in general is absolutely absurd these days.. I'd honestly rather spend a G on a putter as opposed to a driver that with be replaced with a new, better version less than a year after purchasing it..
