Staff WriterThe L.A.B. Golf OZ.1 Putter is stepping onto the green with a flair that even your favourite caddie can’t ignore.
If you’re like me and spend more hours than you’d care to admit obsessing over that perfect roll, this new gem from L.A.B. Golf is worth paying attention to.
It’s not just another flat stick; it’s the result of a collaboration with 32-time tour winner Adam Scott, a man who knows a thing or two about sinking putts when the spotlight’s brightest.
“We’ve always challenged ourselves to develop putters that resonate with world-class golfers while retaining all the performance benefits of Lie Angle Balance,” said Sam Hahn, CEO of L.A.B. Golf.
“Collaborating with Adam Scott was an inspiring and rewarding process for our team, and it provided invaluable insights into the nuances of shape, feel, sound, and performance from one of the most experienced and respected players on the PGA Tour.”
What Makes It Tick
The new OZ.1 collection showcases two main models that share the same sleek half-moon profile: the OZ.1 and OZ.1i.
The latter marks L.A.B. Golf’s first foray into using a face insert—a fly-milled stainless steel insert that’s mechanically bonded to an aluminium body, creating what they call a “firmer feel” with faster ball speeds.
If you’re one of those golfers who values crisp feedback from the putter face, the OZ.1i might be your best friend.
Meanwhile, the original all-aluminium OZ.1 delivers a softer response, reminiscent of L.A.B. Golf’s popular DF3. Both versions share identical size and shape but differ in how the face is constructed.
That subtle difference in feel could make all the difference when it’s just you, the ball, and that tricky four-foot downhill slider.
Inspired by Adam Scott
It’s hard not to get excited when a golfer of Adam Scott’s calibre throws his hat in the design ring.
Early in 2023, Scott partnered with L.A.B. Golf to shape the OZ.1 into something that’s as clean and classic as it is performance-driven.
The half-moon design offers a modern flair without veering into “spaceship” territory.
Turns out, Adam Scott’s eye for detail translates just as well to crafting equipment as it does to sinking clutch putts on Sunday.
Customisation for Every Stroke
One of the real treats with this line is its extensive customisation. The OZ.1i and OZ.1 can be configured with either a 0-Degree (Vertical) Shaft Lean option—which caters to golfers who prefer a vertical shaft at address and want to use standard grips—or a 2-degree Shaft Lean that pairs well with L.A.B. Golf’s Press Grip options.
From length and lie angle to head weight, colour, alignment markings, shaft, and grip, there’s a buffet of choices.
If you like to tinker (or just want to feel that extra bit of ownership over your putter), you’ll appreciate these “made-just-for-you” possibilities.
A Nod to the Past and a Look to the Future
In a tribute to Adam Scott’s Australian heritage, L.A.B. Golf unveiled the OZ.1 Special Release—a limited-edition treat featuring a POLY ROO graphic on the sole.
Decked out in green, it comes with a custom L.A.B. Golf x TPT Golf putter shaft, a Seamus Golf headcover with sheep wool interior, and packaging embellished with 32 L.A.B. Golf logos to honour Scott’s many tour victories.
It’s a collector’s item that’s not just about looks; it’s about commemorating Scott’s vital role in shaping the OZ.1.
