Directed Force 2.1

The Directed Force 2.1 is the Arm-Lock and Broomstick generation of L.A.B. Golf's Directed Force 2 line, built around the shaft installed in the middle of the putter head, a design meant to give an unobstructed top line. Pluggedingolf.com reported the head weight at approximately 375 grams, a Press 2M grip with a more square shape and larger than normal profile, and thirty six alignment options across finishes in red, blue, or black. The publication also listed a standard black steel shaft, possibly KBS Tour, a swing weight of F2, and a fitting example of 35.25 inches with a lie angle up to 61 degrees.

Labgolf.ch's figures describe the putter as 100% CNC milled from 6061 aircraft aluminum, manufactured in the USA, with a Type-3 Anodized Black finish and Lie Angle Balance technology, offered in lengths of 33, 34, or 35 inches, lie angles of 67, 69, or 71 degrees, and a static loft of 3.5 degrees (0.5 degrees effective). MSRP is reported as $400 by pluggedingolf.com and as 539.00 CHF by labgolf.ch. Pluggedingolf.com also described the sound as a slightly tinny, high pitched, metallic note, but rather quiet, and the feel as neither hard nor soft, firm and solid.

On performance, pluggedingolf.com called the 2.1 forgiving but not elite, writing that it's at least equal to an Anser-style, probably a bit better. That assessment sits alongside the broader Community sentiment that the putter is praised for being forgiving and at least on par with Anser-style designs, a characterization worth weighing against the site's own fuller verdict rather than taking as settled.
