Creswell, OR \u2014 L.A.B. Golf is proud to have been named to Fast Company\u2019s prestigious list of the World\u2019s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year\u2019s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World\u2019s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 720 honorees across 59 sectors and regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, L.A.B. Golf is a company full of golf junkies. We love the game and the perpetual challenge it presents,\u201d said L.A.B. Golf Founder Sam Hahn. \u201cWe want to play better. We want EVERYONE to play better. That is why we do what we do. It\u2019s why we prioritize innovation over everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the leading manufacturer of putters in the \u201cZero Torque\u201d putting category, L.A.B. Golf has revolutionized the way golfers think about putting. From the introduction of the first Directed Force model to the recent launch of the heel-shafted LINK.2.1 and LINK.2.2, L.A.B. Golf is at the forefront of innovation among golf equipment manufacturers when it comes to putting technology.<\/p>\n
In the past 18 months, L.A.B. Golf has launched the new LINK.2.1 and LINK.2.2, DF3i, and the OZ.1 collection of putters, which includes OZ.1, OZ.1i, and OZ.1i HS. OZ.1i was the first L.A.B. putter model to include a stainless-steel face insert, while OZ.1i HS was the first heel-shafted putter featuring L.A.B.\u2019s patented Lie Angle Balance technology. To accomplish this feat, L.A.B. developed a proprietary aluminum riser that changes height according to the lie angle to ensure the shaft axis stays properly aligned and the putter\u2019s balance is preserved.<\/p>\n
The OZ.1 collection also introduced a new 0-Degree Shaft Lean option, giving golfers the option of a vertical shaft at address and compatibility with standard grips. With the addition of these models, L.A.B. Golf continues to innovate and expand their product lineup to offer a putter that fits every golfer\u2019s preference.<\/p>\n
