Research shows that 83% of a putt's starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter's face at impact (the path of the putter head controls the other 17%). Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology accounts for lie, angle, and weighting to create a putter that stays square to the arc throughout the stroke, delivering a square putter face at impact. Essentially, L.A.B. has created a perfectly balanced putter, eliminated torque, and, with no further adjustments, allowed golfers to make a consistent, repeatable putting stroke using far less effort. The DF3 performs virtually the same as the original Directed Force, rendering mis-hits inconsequential, regardless of whether they're struck on the heel or toe. While M.O.I., stability, and forgiveness levels are effectively unchanged, the DF3's compact shape is much more appealing than its ungainly predecessor. It's worth noting that the cutout at the putter's tail picks up the ball without necessitating bending over. L.A.B. outfits their putters with their own Press Grips, and for good reason. Almost all of the world's top golfers employ a forward press because it helps the ball track faster and roll truer, while reducing unwanted skidding and backspin. Unfortunately, positioning your hands ahead of the ball is difficult to learn and execute. Press Grips establish forward lean through the grip design, eliminating another putting stroke variable.
