Description
The L.A.B. OZ.1 Putter was created for golfers who want the benefits of Lie Angle Balance and zero-torque performance — without switching to an oversized or unusual-looking putter.
Developed with input from Adam Scott, the OZ.1 features a tour-inspired half-moon mallet shape with solid-body construction, delivering the clean feel, sound, and appearance that many golfers prefer, while still providing the stability and forgiveness L.A.B. putters are known for.
The key to the OZ.1 is 100% Lie Angle Balance, meaning the putter head naturally wants to stay square throughout the stroke. This reduces the need for hand manipulation and timing, helping golfers roll the ball on their intended line more consistently — especially under pressure or on short putts.
Compared to larger mallet designs, the OZ.1 feels more compact and familiar at address, while still offering excellent forgiveness and stability similar to the DF3 and MEZZ.1 MAX.
The OZ.1 is also available with a 2-degree shaft lean, pairing naturally with L.A.B.’s Press Grip to create an onset look that helps keep hands forward while maintaining face stability through impact.
