OZ.1

The OZ.1 line arrives with the OZ.1i in 2024, a putter golf.com describes as carrying "the first one in a L.A.B. Golf putter" when it comes to face inserts, a medium-depth stainless steel piece mechanically bonded to the aluminum body. Pluggedingolf.com frames it as the company's first putter face insert outright, and both outlets tie the design to a collaboration with Adam Scott. Golf.com notes the OZ.1i shares the same size and shape as the OZ.1 that would follow, with the insert marked plainly by the letter appended to the name. Pluggedingolf.com had the OZ.1i Custom and OZ.1i Stock models expected to launch in December 2024, and named the putter "the early front runner to be in my bag in 2025."

The standard OZ.1 arrives in 2025, and 2ndswing.com's maker-published material calls it the first Tour-Inspired Shape within the L.A.B. Golf lineup, again developed in close collaboration with Adam Scott, with a half-moon mallet shape the maker's page says drew inspiration from a high-performance German sports car's rear profile paired with the front of a legendary mallet putter. Pluggedingolf.com reported the OZ.1 Custom and OZ.1 Stock versions following in January 2025, with new 0-degree and 2-degree shaft lean options and, per pluggedingolf.com, 31 front alignment aid choices and 22 rear alignment aid choices for anyone building one out. Drivingrangeheroes.com called the release "a significant step forward for the brand, blending more traditional aesthetics with their innovative approach to putting stability," while pgatour.com's description of the standard OZ.1 lists a matte black finish and a half-moon head with solid-body construction.

Between and around those two core releases, the line branches. There is an OZ.1i HS that pluggedingolf.com describes as carrying a more traditional look, an OZ.1 Custom built on what linksnation.com calls one-piece, all-aluminum construction, and a stainless-steel-insert edition of the OZ.1i that drivingrangeheroes.com credits with a firmer feel and better feedback, going so far as to call it one of the better rolls they'd seen from a putter. The Special Edition and the Special Release tied to Adam Scott both lean into color and story rather than mechanics, pluggedingolf.com pointing to a green finish, an exclusive Poly Roo graphic, and packaging marked with 32 L.A.B. Golf logos, while pgatour.com's account of the Scott Edition ties that same 32-logo detail explicitly to Scott's 32 worldwide victories and frames the whole release as a nod to his 2013 Masters win.

Reviewer opinion across the line splits along a fairly consistent line: the OZ.1i's insert reads as the speed putter, praised by reviewers for faster response on dying-speed putts, while the 2025 OZ.1 is described by pluggedingolf.com as carrying "all the performance benefits of the OZ.1i but with a softer feel" alongside tremendous forgiveness and a wide range of customization. That softness comes with a tradeoff reviewers noted directly, including a lower smash factor than the OZ.1i and, for at least one reviewer, a stroke that took a few rounds to recalibrate after coming off the OZ.1i's speed. Independentgolfreviews.com's shorthand for where the line stands now calls the OZ.1 simply L.A.B.'s newest, softest, and best looking model, which is as good a summary as any of the arc from insert to solid body across these eleven releases.
