The L.A.B Putter I've Been Waiting For!
Rick has been openly skeptical about L.A.B. Golf— but the Link is different. For the first time, L.A.B. have brought their zero-torque engineering to a traditional blade shape. No mallets, no gimmicks. Just a classic-looking Anser-style putter that's been precision-engineered to stay square through the stroke.
So does it finally make a believer out of Rick? He takes it to the zen putting green to find out — and gives his most honest verdict yet on whether L.A.B. Golf lives up to the hype.
Welcome to H.I.T Golf Reviews – the home of honest, independent and trustworthy golf equipment reviews.
If you want straight-talking advice on drivers, irons, wedges, putters, golf balls and golf tech, you’re in the right place. Every review is based on proper testing, launch monitor data and real on-course experience – not marketing slides.
We test all the big names (TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Mizuno, Cobra and more) plus the direct-to-consumer brands you’re starting to hear about. New vs old, budget vs premium, “forgiving” vs “players” – we put them head-to-head so you can see what actually performs.
Our testing is built around launch monitor data (GCQuad) and real-world shots, but we always explain the numbers in normal-golfer language. No fluff, no hidden agendas – just whether a club will help your game or not.
Whether you’re:
buying your first proper set,
a mid-handicapper looking for more forgiveness, or
a low-handicap player chasing that perfect combo of feel and distance,
H.I.T is here to help you pick the right gear for your swing, not just the newest thing on the shelf.
Why H.I.T exists:
To cut through the hype.
To give golfers the truth.
To save you time, money and a few golf balls.
To make the game a bit easier – and more fun.
