A New Look for Lie Angle Balance Technology
L.A.B. Golf is expanding its lineup with the introduction of the new VZN.1i, a putter that combines the company’s groundbreaking Lie Angle Balance technology with a more compact and approachable mallet design.
Lie Angle Balance Technology: The Foundation of Every L.A.B. Putter
At the heart of the VZN.1i is the technology that has made L.A.B. Golf famous: Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.).
Unlike traditional putters, which naturally want to rotate open or closed throughout the putting stroke, Lie Angle Balanced putters are engineered to remain square to the path. This helps reduce unwanted face rotation and allows golfers to make a more repeatable stroke with less manipulation of the putter face.
L.A.B. Golf emphasizes that every VZN.1i remains Lie Angle Balanced regardless of shaft configuration or custom build specifications, ensuring the technology performs as intended for every golfer.
A More Approachable Shape
The VZN.1i features a more compact mallet profile that many golfers will find easier to transition into. The design provides a clean look at address while maintaining the stability and forgiveness players expect from a modern mallet putter.
For golfers who may have been intrigued by L.A.B. Golf’s technology but preferred a less polarizing shape, the VZN.1i offers a compelling middle ground between innovation and familiarity.
Alignment Through Geometry
One of the standout features of the VZN.1i is what L.A.B. Golf calls “Alignment Through Geometry.” The putter’s shape has been carefully engineered to provide visual cues that help golfers aim more consistently. The symmetrical design naturally frames the golf ball and works in conjunction with Lie Angle Balance technology to help players start putts on their intended line.
New DeepFly Milled Stainless Steel Insert
The VZN.1i features a DeepFly Milled 303 Stainless Steel Insert, delivering a firmer feel at impact while maintaining the consistency and responsiveness many golfers prefer. The deeper milling pattern is designed to provide reliable feedback across the face and introduces a feel profile that differs from previous L.A.B. Golf offerings.
Practical Features Golfers Will Appreciate
L.A.B. Golf has also incorporated several thoughtful design details into the VZN.1i. One notable addition is the dual pickup design, featuring both a “gimme getter” and scoop-style pickup option.
Who Is the VZN.1i For?
The VZN.1i is a strong fit for golfers looking to experience the benefits of Lie Angle Balance technology in a compact, modern mallet design. Its combination of stability, forgiveness, and alignment-focused geometry can help golfers who struggle with face control, consistency through impact, or confidence over the ball.
