L.A.B. Golf has unveiled the MEZZ.2i, marking the first update to its popular mid-mallet putter line in over four years. The new model retains the brand’s signature lie angle balance technology while introducing a refined shape and a specialized face insert designed to enhance performance on the greens.
Design and Performance Upgrades
The MEZZ.2i features a fanged, mid-mallet design that incorporates feedback gathered from the original MEZZ.1, which has been utilized in more than 1,100 professional golf events. According to the company, the updated model includes significant changes to the head’s mass distribution, sole design, and overall shape.
The putter is constructed with a 6061 aluminum chassis paired with a 303 stainless-steel face insert. This insert, which features a deep, fly-milled pattern, is identical to the one introduced in the VZN.1i earlier this year. The company notes that this combination produces a deeper, lower-pitched sound compared to the stainless-steel inserts in the DF3.i and Link models, while offering a firmer feel than the brand’s aluminum-faced putters.
Lie Angle Balance Technology
At the core of the MEZZ.2i is L.A.B. Golf’s proprietary lie angle balance technology. This design is intended to prevent the putter head from rotating open or closed during the stroke, helping golfers return the face to a square position at impact. By assisting players in starting their putts on the intended line, the technology aims to improve overall consistency.
Because the effectiveness of this technology depends on the putter matching a golfer’s specific setup, the company emphasizes the importance of a proper fitting. L.A.B. Golf provides both remote fitting services via its website and in-person sessions through authorized partners.
Pricing and Availability
The stock version of the MEZZ.2i is priced at $499. For golfers seeking more personalization, the company offers a custom program starting at $599, which allows for adjustments to length, lie angle, weight, shaft, grip, color, and alignment markings. Every putter, whether stock or custom, is hand-balanced and assembled by the company.
The MEZZ.2i will be available for purchase on the L.A.B. Golf website starting November 10, with retail store availability following on November 17.
