What happens when your friends get a LAB Golf Putter? Simple, they start beating you by a lot. Golfers basically have two options when it comes to their putter: a mallet or a blade.

Golfers switch back and forth between putters all the time. Can any of us honestly say there’s ever been a lasting difference?
