Revealer

The Revealer sits apart from the rest of L.A.B. Golf's lineup in that it isn't really a putter meant for the bag so much as it is a demonstration piece. According to SI.com, it was designed to test whether face-balanced putters twist during the putting stroke, a question that goes to the heart of what L.A.B. Golf has built its name on with its Lie Angle Balance approach.

The record on this one is thin, but pointed. SI.com reported that the Revealer indicated there was twisting in traditional putters, which is the entire premise the product exists to illustrate. Whatever a golfer makes of that finding, the Revealer's purpose as described is diagnostic rather than performance oriented, a tool built to show a stroke fault rather than to be gamed on Sundays.

Set against the rest of the Revealer name and L.A.B. Golf's broader catalog, this release reads less like a competitor to their face-balanced designs and more like an argument for them. Golfers looking for specs, finishes, or maker-published detail on the head itself won't find that here. What's on record is the concept and the reported result, and readers should weigh SI.com's account for themselves.
