Directed Force Putter

The L.A.B. Golf Directed Force Putter is the release that put the Directed Force name on the map, built around the maker's Lie Angle Balancing technology as described by the publication Directed Force Putters. That outlet's account describes a design built on a precise combination of angles between the 3D shaft lean, grip traversal, face loft and customized lie angle, create a perfectly balanced stroke, resulting in magnificent ball roll. Whether that combination of angles produces the roll described is the kind of claim worth testing for yourself rather than taking on faith.

The same source describes an iconic shaped symmetrical Head, a unique, elliptical PressGrip®, and a proprietary custom shaft, all paired with a customization process that the publication characterizes as a bespoke, complex instrument that simplifies putting. That's a lot of engineering vocabulary packed into one release, and it's worth noting that all of it comes from reporting on the maker's own materials rather than from an independent hands-on account.

Community opinion on the Directed Force Putter has been favorable on the technology front specifically. One thread of Community sentiment holds that the innovation and technology built into the DFP is far superior, and a similar note simply flags it as praised for innovation and technology far superior. Both are opinion, not verified fact, but they point toward where this release's reputation has settled: a putter that gets talked about for what's inside it as much as for how it looks on the green.
