Adam Scott Debuts New Putter: The L.A.B. DF3i at Farmers Insurance Open
As the new year unfolds, Adam Scott, the reigning king of What’s In The Bag (WITB), is making headlines with his latest equipment choice. Following an intriguing three-putter experiment during the BMW PGA Championship in September, Scott returns to the spotlight with the L.A.B. DF3i putter during recent practice rounds for the Farmers Insurance Open.
Adam Scott’s Transition to the DF3i
In a surprising turn, Scott moved away from his well-known setups—the L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max Sweeper and the OZ.1 HS—opting for the sophisticated L.A.B. DF3i. This latest addition appears to adhere to his preferred specifications, which include:
- Shaft: Trusted TPT shaft
- Grip: Press Pistol II grip
- Alignment: Unique DD alignment from L.A.B.
Scott’s willingness to innovate keeps him an intriguing player on Tour. Despite being recognized as a broomstick putter loyalist, Scott openly practices with a traditional short putter, demonstrating adaptability in his approach.
Will the DF3i Make Its Tournament Debut?
The question remains whether we will see the L.A.B. DF3i in competitive play at Torrey Pines this week. As the in-house expert on Adam Scott’s equipment, it’s my anticipation that it may not stick for the long term. However, we know Scott tends to march to the beat of his own drum. He has the potential to fully commit to the DF3i moving forward, and I, for one, would welcome that decision.
As Bobby Brown once said, Scott doesn’t require anyone’s approval; he makes his own choices. As fans of the game, we will be eagerly watching to see if the DF3i makes its way into this week’s competition. Rest assured, I’ll keep you updated if it does.
Conclusion
In the landscape of professional golf, equipment choices can profoundly influence a player’s performance. Adam Scott’s experimentation with the new L.A.B. DF3i has piqued interest, and fans are keen to see how this development shifts the competitive edge. Keep an eye on Scott this week for further updates on his evolving equipment journey.
