Mezz.1 MAX

The Mezz.1 MAX arrived in 2022 as the enlarged sibling of the Mezz.1, and by most accounts that's the whole story in a sentence: golflink.com describes it plainly as "The max is bigger," while dallasgolf.com calls it "basically just the Mezz.1, but 20% larger." That size increase shows up repeatedly across sources, cited as roughly 20% larger heel to toe than the standard Mezz.1, and pluggedingolf.com simply labels it a "supersized version of MEZZ.1."

The head itself is described by dallasgolf.com as a combination of 303 stainless steel and 6061 aluminum, CNC-machined, with the added mass and volume said to boost forgiveness even on mishits. Golfmagic.com's review picked up on that same theme, noting the putter combines the feedback of steel with the forgiveness of aluminum, and praised the custom alignment feature, which per golfmagic.com is chosen through a custom fitting process, along with a finish they called "very dark in colour with silver components on the bottom" and a sound described as "very muted and quiet, different to most other putters which have a metallic feel." L.A.B. Golf's own product pages, for what it's worth, don't say anything specific to the MAX version, repeating the same Lie Angle Balance language used across the Mezz collection: "it eliminates torque and produces a repeatable swing."

Not every account agrees on how well the size increase lands. Golfmagic.com came away impressed, writing that "the effortlessness, the alignment aid and the soft feel all add up to a club which is highly likely to improve your short game," despite the price, listed there at $559.00 USD. Pluggedingolf.com's review is more measured, and multiple sources flag the same complaint: the lack of a ball-pickup feature, which pluggedingolf.com calls "a big critique of many fans of the MEZZ.1 and MEZZ.1 MAX." Whether the trade-off of size for forgiveness is worth the added bulk and the missing pickup is left for the buyer to decide, but the record shows a putter that reviewers largely agree does what it sets out to do, even if not everyone loved carrying the extra head around.
