We’re opening up another phenomenal testing opportunity for our Forum members, this time focused on the new L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i and OZ.1 putters. We will be selecting eight testers who will be divided into Team Insert and Team Non-Insert. Each tester will receive either the OZ.1i, which features a stainless steel face insert, or the recently released OZ.1, which uses a full milled aluminum face. These two designs look nearly identical but L.A.B. believes the insert makes a meaningful difference. Now it’s time to see if our community agrees.
About the L.A.B. OZ.1i Putter
The OZ.1i is a departure from the more unorthodox shapes L.A.B. Golf is known for. Developed in part with Adam Scott, the OZ.1 has a more traditional mallet appearance while still being a fully Lie Angle Balanced putter. That design concept is central to L.A.B.’s philosophy, aiming to reduce torque and let the putter head stay square through impact without manipulation.
The big story with the OZ.1i is the milled stainless steel insert. According to L.A.B., it is firmer than aluminum and increases ball speed off the face. The aim is to deliver more speed and feedback, especially on longer putts, while still maintaining the balance and feel players expect from L.A.B. designs.
Also worth noting are the shaft lean options. Golfers can choose between a zero-degree lean, which works with traditional grips, or a two-degree forward lean, which pairs with L.A.B.’s Press Grips. This choice gives golfers more flexibility when fitting the putter to their stroke.

Fabulous opportunity for the testers. Will be interesting to see the impact and differences of Oz with insert versus non insert Oz with respect to feel, accuracy, face control, make percentage as well as distance control.
