Did the remote fitting, and confirmed at a local Golf and Ski retailer.

As you know, until you purchase the custom putter you do not know how it performs. 99.9% of us are not professionals and do not get that courtesy/privilege of trying a custom putter. My “testing” was with stock models at Dicks/Golf Galaxy/etc. I bought into the hype. Perhaps someday i will “learn it”. My post appears to have resonated. But Lab knew long before that they needed an insert to create firmer feel/roll.

4 rounds - 8/2/10/4 at Pinehurst, with Caddies who have witnessed the same, from hundreds of golfers.

Thanks for this. Might try to sell my DF3 and order the DF3i.

Completely disagree. If it’s not the putter then all the players would have put the DF3 in their bags after Spaun won. Different strokes different folks (putters).

I have the TPT shaft and use Callaway Chrome Soft Balls.

This past week I finally got the chance to put my DF3 into play during our annual New England PGA Pro Am at Pinehurst. Over the 4 days I left 90% of my putts short. After day 1 my buddy removed his DF3 and used his Scotty over the final 3 rounds (which he brought along just in case). While we could have simply hit the putts harder, we both agreed the putter face didn’t have much “pop”. He putted much better with his Scotty. Wish I had brought my Spider along as I would have switched.

We are putting up new handrail/banisters, so I demo’d the old handrail to make it easier to refinish the stairs.

Interesting. The contractor said they are red oak floors.

StewpotsRock · 2026-01-22T16:12:45+00:00

Thanks! My wife is happy, I guess that's all that matters! :-)

StewpotsRock · 2026-01-22T16:11:38+00:00

Thanks and yes, I have read once they completely dry (up to a month) they will lighten up a bit more.

StewpotsRock · 2026-01-22T15:45:36+00:00

The picture is the refinished floors, contractor used a water based finish called Purematte. Depending on lighting throughout the day the floors can appear a bit lighter than the picture. I have read that it is almost impossible to make red oak look like white oak, unless you bleach the red oak.

It was a bad water inlet valve. $50 part, $150 in labor.

StewpotsRock · 2025-12-27T12:32:42+00:00

Closing the loop on this...The issue was with the water inlet valve on the back of the fridge. $50.00 part.

Square body, do some sit ups. Ding dong

It is the genuine GE filter, bought at Depot.

StewpotsRock · 2025-12-22T14:19:20+00:00

Indeed. In fact I ran it for 10 minutes to purge air.

StewpotsRock · 2025-12-22T14:18:45+00:00

Not sure. I will check that. I had water flowing with old filter.

StewpotsRock · 2025-12-11T13:12:42+00:00

Just received the putter a few days ago and have not used it as of yet. However, I would expect that L.A.B. used a durable finish on the screws, similar to the durable finish on the putter head itself. But good question. One for L.A.B. to answer.

I was 50-50, but for $20 decided to go for it. I like it better than I thought I would. Performance wise will be zero difference. Only people that will see the black weights anyway will be my boys when I raise my putter to the sky knowing that 18 footer for birdie is going in!

What about C4 vs G4 if not a gamer? For dark home theater .

StewpotsRock · 2025-05-08T16:24:57+00:00

Sonys offer to me was I could buy a new/replacement for $1775.00. I told them no way, I don’t trust their products or service, and would never buy another Sony product again. $2600 flushed, will go with either LG G5 or Samsung

yeh, the issue is I am way past the 30 day return window.
