L.A.B. Golf’s blade-style LINK.1 putter set for wide release

Anser-style putter, but make it L.A.B. After a limited release late last year, L.A.B Golf is bringing its all-new LINK.1 putter to retail.
“So many golfers love the look of blade-style putters, but they’re not always the best for making putts,” said L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn. “What we did with LINK.1 was honor the shape of these legendary putters but make them dramatically easier to use by adding Lie Angle Balance.”
To bring Lie Angle Balance to LINK.1, L.A.B. Golf hyper-engineered it from 303 Stainless Steel, with the new addition 100% CNC Milled with four screws on the heel side and six on the toe side to offer a wide range of length and lie angle options.
“We created LINK.1 for every golfer that loves the idea of using this timeless shape but doesn’t make enough putts with it. LINK.1 is better for the simple reason that it has Lie Angle Balance and will stay square by itself like all L.A.B. Golf putters.” – L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn
The putters are 100% Made In the USA and built and balanced by L.A.B. Golf Craftsmen in L.A.B. Golf’s new factory in Creswell, Oregon.
Specs, pricing, and availability
LINK.1 will be available in two models: LINK.1 Custom and LINK.1 Stock.
LINK.1 Custom (starting at $559) makes available L.A.B. Golf’s full range of industry-leading customization options. The putters are offered in lengths of 29-38 inches and lie angles from 65 to 75 degrees. LINK.1 CUSTOM also offers golfers the choice of eight different alignment options, as well as multiple upgrade shaft and grip options.
LINK.1 Stock ($469) is available in L.A.B. Golf’s most popular lie angle of 69 degrees and lengths of 33, 34, and 35 inches. It’s equipped with a Matte Black Steel Shaft and L.A.B. Golf’s new Simple Rubber putter grip.
LINK.1 Custom and LINK.1 Stock are now available at labgolf.com. They will be arriving soon at golf retailers across the world including PGA Tour SuperStore, Club Champion, and Golf Galaxy.

Three Swing Challenge: Testing the Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks A+ grind
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Blank-1014-x-768.png)
The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”
