L.A.B. Oz.1i vs Oz.1i HS

[cnl390]

I know we're talking personal preference. But before I drop a big chunk of change I need to get as much info as I can. I'm going to buy an Oz.1i or the HS. For those of you who play or have played these putters. Are there any big differences between the two other than look at set up.

Iʻve never owned a LAB putter...theyʻve never really jived with me.

But I will say that I felt more comfortable standing over the ball with the HS when rolling them in the shop.

I have the OZ1i 2* lean with standard T alignment. I’m left eye dominant and always focus on the front of the putter. It’s funny as I’ve tried the HS but find it strange to look down on in comparison. I think the alignment line coming from the shaft insertion point, in the centre shaft, just helps my focus and alignment.

My personal opinion revolves around what your lie angle will be. If you have a longer neck because of your lie angle I feel it may affect how it looks and potentially how it feels. I have the CS with the 2* lean and wouldn't go to the HS. Until my OZ1i I played a Bettinardi BB8 with the plumbers neck similar to the HS.

I had both and much prefer to setup of the HS to the center shafted. Best bet is to find a PGA Tour Super Store or similar that has both so you can roll some putts.
