Golf Smarter

761: One thing that contributes to a lousy day on the golf course is missing short putts, or multiple 3 putts. But your confidence in lining up your putt, your ability to read the greens, even your skill at lag putting is good, so what’s the problem? It’s your putter!! Our guest is CEO of LAB Golf, Sam Hahn, who explains that their Lie Angle Balanced putters designed by Bill Presse will completely change your thoughts about how a putter is supposed to work. Make sure you check out Sam’s short video on this episode’s blog post at GolfSmarter.com to see how much unnecessary movement your putter has during your swing.

Our next giveaway is for a Directed Force 2.1 putter courtesy of LABGolf.com. Deadline to enter is Sunday, October 18, 2020 at Midnight PDT/3a EDT. Enter at GolfSmarter.com/giveaway2020. Listen for details.
