When it comes to putters, L.A.B. Golf is taking the golf industry by storm. Even though they’ve only been around for a short while, their putters continue to prove time and again that they help golfers of all abilities make more putts.
L.A.B. stands for Lie Angle Technology and is the cornerstone behind the entire LAB concept.
In today’s review, let’s take a close look at the MEZZ. 1 Max Putter.
Key Features
Putter stays square all by itself to help putts start online and roll true.
Responsive feedback lets you know exactly where on the face the ball was struck.
Available in standard-length, armlock, and broom handle models.
Design and Technology
With the MEZZ. 1 Max, the story begins with Lie Angle Technology. The design team at L.A.B. spent countless hours researching and perfecting this concept which holds that the key to great putting is returning the putter face to square at impact, or perpendicular to the target line. This technology makes it easy for golfers to do just that.
It’s larger than average head design is perfect for golfers that need ample forgiveness too. Even if you catch a putt out of the toe or heel, it’s still going to feel solid and travel close to the same distance as a putt that was solidly struck.
The MEZZ. 1 is made from nothing but the best materials too. The midsection is made from 303 stainless steel that’s CNC-milled. The body consists of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. Both materials combine to give you the very best in terms of both stability and feel.

Our Experience
I’ve been lucky to try a number of different putters from L.A.B. Golf, and the MEZZ. 1 Max is my favorite.
It’s smaller than the Directed Force 2.1, but its lines are clean and it sets up square.
I also really like the feel and stability of this putter. When I strike a putt solid, I’m able to tell. However, it’s still forgiving enough that mishits aren’t punished.
I’m a fan of this putter, and I see why so many other golfers are too.
