Will Zalatoris is a Titleist guy through and through except for his putter – an L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max broomstick-style model from a company whose name stands for Lie Angle Balanced. The putter is built around one key idea: zero torque. It’s a bold choice but there’s a reason behind it.

What clubs does Will Zalatoris play with?

Here’s a detailed look at what Will Zalatoris has in the bag.

The one club that breaks the pattern: L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max

Zalatoris plays the L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max, a blacked-out center-shafted broomstick model. Following back surgery, Zalatoris had to find a way to continue competing without straining his body.

The longer broomstick-style Mezz.1 Max offered a stable putting platform that allowed him to keep playing and putting with confidence.

What makes the L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max different?

The Mezz.1 Max might look like a modern winged mallet. Thanks to L.A.B. Golf’s revolutionary Lie Angle Balanced technology, the face stays square to the arc without any effort from the golfer. That zero-torque design truly sets it apart and it’s a big reason why Zalatoris made the switch.

Key Features:

  • Zero-Torque Design: Eliminates face twisting during the stroke for more consistent roll and start lines
  • Lie Angle Balanced: Keeps the putter face square naturally without manipulation.
  • CNC Milled Construction: Combines a 303 stainless steel midsection with a 6061 aircraft aluminum body for feel and forgiveness
  • Oversized Head Shape: 20 percent larger than the original Mezz.1 to boost forgiveness and stability
  • Hand-Balanced and Custom-Fitted: Every Mezz.1 Max is individually balanced and tested at L.A.B.’s headquarters in Oregon
  • Customizable Press Grips: Offers built-in shaft lean options to match various putting styles and preferences

How did the Mezz.1 perform in our testing?

In MyGolfSpy’s 2022 Most Wanted Mallet Putter test, the Mezz.1 (the original, smaller version) showed promise but had mixed results:

  • Third place from 5 feet — strong on short putts
  • Middle of the pack from 10 feet — some concerns over alignment visuals
  • Tied for 12th from 20 feet — distance control was a weakness
  • Overall Rank: 12th out of 27 — strong design, but not for everyone

Tester feedback highlighted the feel and alignment on short putts but some didn’t love the center-shafted design or the aesthetics.
