Research shows that 83% of a putt's starting direction is influenced by thedirection of the putter's face at impact (the path of the putter's head controlsthe other 17%). Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology takes into account lie,angle, and weighting to create a putter that stays square to the arc throughoutthe stroke, delivering a square putter face at impact. Essentially, L.A.B hascreated a perfectly balanced putter, eliminated torque, and, with no furtheradjustments, allowed golfers to consistently repeat a putting stroke using farless effort.The DF3 performs virtually the same as the original Directed Force, renderingmis-hits inconsequential, regardless of whether they're struck on the heel ortoe. 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 withoutnecessitating bending over.L.A.B. outfits their putters with their own Press Grips, and for good reason.Almost all of the best golfers in the world employ a forward press because ithelps the ball track faster and roll truer while reducing unwanted skidding andbackspin. Unfortunately, positioning your hands ahead of the ball is difficultto learn and execute. Press Grips establish forward lean through the gripdesign, eliminating another putting stroke variable.L.A.B.
