L.A.B. Golf Split Putter Grip The L.A.B. Golf Split Putter Grip is a specialized two-piece grip designed specifically for broomstick (long) putters, particularly L.A.B. Golf’s Directed Force (DF) series, such as the DF 2.1 Broomstick or DF3 Broomstick. This grip addresses the lack of quality grip options for long putters, offering enhanced stability, comfort, and alignment for golfers using a broomstick putting style. Its unique split design caters to the distinct hand positions required for long putters, making it ideal for players seeking consistency and control in their putting stroke. Key Features Two-Piece Split Design: Consists of a top grip (6 inches) and a bottom grip (13.25 inches), tailored for broomstick putters. The split allows for optimal hand placement, with the top hand anchoring and the bottom hand guiding, promoting a stable, pendulum-like stroke. Material: Made from high-quality rubber, providing a textured, semi-tacky surface for a secure hold without excessive grip pressure. Offers a balance of comfort and durability. Weight: Total weight of 124 grams (4.4 oz), distributed to maintain balance and complement the counterweighting of L.A.B.’s Lie Angle Balance technology. Design Purpose: Engineered to enhance the torque-free feel of L.A.B. putters, ensuring the putter face stays square at impact. The grip’s shape encourages consistent hand positioning for reduced wrist action. Aesthetics: Available in black (standard) or white (limited), with L.A.B. Golf branding. The split design creates a clean, professional look suited for broomstick putters. Specifications Top Grip Length: 6 inches Bottom Grip Length: 13.25 inches Total Weight: 124 grams (4.4 oz) Material: Rubber Grip Type: Textured, non-tapered Core Size: Fits standard putter shafts (typically .580"–.600") Color Options: Black (standard), White (limited availability) Diameter: ~1 inch (standard for broomstick grips, slightly larger than traditional Winn split grips per user feedback) Performance Notes Player Profile: Ideal for golfers using broomstick putters, particularly L.A.B. Golf models (e.g., DF 2.1, DF3 Broomstick), and those with a high-handicap or slower swing speeds seeking stability and alignment. Suits players prioritizing a pendulum stroke with minimal wrist involvement. Stability and Comfort: The two-piece design ensures a secure grip for both hands, with the longer bottom grip accommodating various hand positions (e.g., split, claw, or anchored styles). Testers praise its stability for long-putter strokes (Golf Vault, 5/5 rating). Alignment: The grip’s textured surface and split design help maintain consistent hand placement, complementing L.A.B.’s torque-free putters for square face alignment at impact. Feel: The rubber material offers a semi-tacky, medium-firm feel, providing excellent feedback without being overly soft. Users note it feels “just right” for tackiness (eBay reviews). Installation: Can be challenging to install due to the two-piece design and precise alignment needs. Professional installation recommended, though some report success with air or solvent methods (GolfWRX forums). The bottom grip may be particularly difficult to slide on.
