GEARS x L.A.B. Golf: Redefining Putting Through Data
At L.A.B. Golf, our mission is simple: to make putting an enjoyable part of the game. That’s why we partnered with GEARS, the global leader in research-grade golf analytics, to tackle some of the toughest questions in putting.
Our first collaboration, GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts, embodies our continued commitment to innovation and improvement. For this project, we embraced an advanced filament-wound construction to create a truly seamless shaft with flawless straightness and perfect radial symmetry.
GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts also offer an accessible price point, especially compared to other high-end putter shafts. They deliver top-tier performance at a price within reach for golfers who demand the best.
The Power of Filament Winding
GEARS’ advanced filament-winding process uses a robot-driven manufacturing method where carbon fiber strands are impregnated with resin and applied at precise angles. This process eliminates human error and ensures shafts perform as designed—every single time.
By its very nature, filament-winding creates shafts that are 100% seamless, ensuring consistent performance from butt to tip. The automated process also guarantees perfect symmetry, avoiding the seams and bubbles often found in hand-rolled constructions.
Like-Steel Feel
While carbon fiber putter shafts are relatively new, not everyone loves their feel. That’s why GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts were designed with a responsive “like-steel feel” to overcome the overly rigid or “boardy” sensation often associated with other carbon fiber shafts.
With GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts, golfers will experience crisper, cleaner feedback while enjoying the added stability of a premium carbon fiber construction.
Why GEARS x L.A.B. Golf?
It comes down to three things:
Cost
GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts are an ultra-premium design… without the ultra-premium cost. It fills in the price gap in our lineup between our Accra x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts and L.A.B. Golf x TPT Golf putter shafts.
Feel
GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts actually have the stiffest tip sections in our lineup, but their overall stiffness is second behind TPT. If you’ve tried TPT and felt as though it was too stiff, GEARS is a great alternative to get more feel without losing maximum stability.
Build Specs
GEARS x L.A.B. Golf putter shafts can be built to our widest range of lengths for Standard, ArmLock, and Sweeper (Long Putter) Builds up to 50 inches.
