L.A.B. Golf now offers DF 2.1 putter with Electroless Nickel finish
When you have an award-winning product, you don’t need overhaul it.
Instead, from time to time, you just need to give it a little tweak, and in the case of L.A.B. Golf’s DF 2.1—featuring lie angle balanced technology—that means offering a new highly durable nickel finish.
This isn’t the first time the team at L.A.B. Golf has changed a few things up with the DF 2.1. Just this May, on “Star Wars day” May 4th (because May 4th also kinda sounds like “May the force… be with you”) they released a hyper-limited 5 putter series featuring Start Wars graphics.
The new nickel finish on the L.A.B. DF2.1 is applied using Electroless Nickel Plating which is applied in a nickel bath through a chemical reaction. This reaction doesn’t require the traditional electric current for the plating process and it deposits a uniform layer of nickel onto the surface of the putter.
This nickel plating makes the finish on the putter almost impossible to scratch, and based on the properties of pure nickel, it isn’t affected by moisture.
Price, Specs, and Availability
The L.A.B. Golf DF 2.1 is available now with a base price of $425, with the new nickel plating being offered for an additional $30.

I have had a DF 2.1T for about a year now, and if it’s not being used to putt, it’s in the headcover, still looks brand new. Very interested in the new nickel version, I think it looks great !

Aluminum putters will always get dinged up and wear worse that steel. Release something in 17-4 steel or becu and I’ll be interested. Sick of 303/4 steel, 1025 CS, and aluminum dominating the industry. IT DOESN’T LAST. Coatings are the biggest scam in golf. they look pretty and last a few seasons and then trick the user into thinking its time to buy new sticks. lets use metals that dont need a coating or skip the plating process altogether and just let it oxidize

You can’t make this putter design in steel. It would be insanely heavy

You can make it smaller, hollowed out, ported, etc. there are ways around every design challenge. I’m just saying the golf community is fooled into thinking this putter or any scotty is worth $350 when they are made from pretty basic materials and will not stand the test of time.
