L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i: A Tour-Inspired Putter for Precision and Feel
L.A.B. Golf designed the OZ.1i to be a tour-inspired putter that emphasizes shape and feel, based on what top players have learned over the years. They wanted a model that not only looks confident but also delivers exceptional impact and consistency. The development process was perfectly timed; over recent years, L.A.B. mastered Lie Angle Balance, a technology that opens up new design possibilities. Early in 2023, they asked Adam Scott if he wanted to collaborate. When he said yes, it set the stage for something special.
This line marks a significant step for L.A.B., as it is their first to feature a face insert on both stock and custom models. These inserts are not just about looks; they serve functional purposes too. Some golfers prefer a firmer feel at impact, which the stainless steel inserts provide along with faster ball speeds. Others like softer feedback; the all-aluminum versions called OZ.1 Custom and OZ.1 Stock offer that familiar soft feel many players love. Both models share the same size and shape, which is a compact mallets designed for control.
The shape started with ideas from Adam Scott himself. He loved the rear of a 2021 German sports car with its sleek curves and aggressive stance which is the inspiration behind the back of this putter. For the front, he challenged the team to reimagine one of golf’s most iconic mallet shapes, and after many prototypes, they arrived at a bold yet refined design that balances style with performance.
This is their first half-moon style mallet with solid-body construction and it feels fantastic right out of the gate. The team spent plenty of time fine-tuning it for sound and feel whether you choose stainless steel or aluminum versions. The goal was maximum forgiveness combined with stability, all qualities that helped make models like DF3 and MEZZ 1 MAX so popular. Thanks to their Lie Angle Balance system which distributes weight evenly every strike results in a straight roll, you can trust your putter to keep everything on line.
For those seeking even more options L.A.B introduced their first vertical 0-degree shaft lean in OZ.1i. They also offer a 2-degree shaft lean similar to DF3 models which is best paired with grips like Press Grip for optimal results. Customization runs deep: you can choose your length from 33 to 35 inches adjust lie angle and head weight select your color finish add alignment marks or pick the shaft type—all tailored so your putter fits your game perfectly.
If you want something ready to go right out of the box without customizing everything yourself then they have stock options too: standard lie angle at 69 degrees lengths of 33, 34, or 35 inches premium matte black steel shafts black grips called Press Pistol each unit undergoes thorough testing so you get top-tier craftsmanship whether you opt for custom or stock.
The OZ.1i putter isn’t just another mallet, it is built from years of tour insights into an innovative design inspired by sports cars and legendary golf shapes alike. Whether you choose stainless steel inserts or all-aluminum options customize every detail or grab a ready-to-play model, it’s designed to become your trusted partner on green days ahead. If confidence in each putt matters and who doesn’t want more of that then the OZ.1i delivers exactly what serious golfers need: consistent performance they can rely on shot after shot.
