Zero Torque. Total Alignment. Introducing VZN.1i from L.A.B. Golf

VZN.1i is the first Lie Angle Balance putter designed to optimize alignment

CRESWELL, OR –  L.A.B. Golf, renowned for pioneering Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) technology in putting, has offi cially unveiled the next model in their revolutionary lineup of putters, VZN.1i. VZN.1i combines Lie Angle Balance technology with alignment through geometry, giving golfers clear aim and added confidence on the greens.

VZN.1i was created with one goal in mind – optimizing alignment. The head is specifically designed to show where the face is pointed and intentionally positioned to help lock in on the target line, leading to improved aim and accuracy.

Featuring a traditional, full-sized mallet profile, VZN.1i introduces a 303 stainless-steel face insert that offers a deeper milling than existing L.A.B. models. Equipped with a dual pickup method including a “gimme getter” and a scoop option, VZN.1i is available in both 0-Degree (Vertical) and 1.5-Degree shaft lean variations.

“VZN.1i was approached formulaically by combining everything we’ve learned from the success of previous L.A.B. Golf models into a familiar mallet shape that’s easy on the eyes and even easier to putt with,” said Cameron Day, Senior Vice President of Product at L.A.B. Golf. “Every L.A.B. putter is engineered to roll the ball on its intended line through Lie Angle Balance technology. With VZN.1i, we took things a step further by simplifying another critical aspect of putting: alignment.”

As with all L.A.B. putters, every VZN.1i is hand-balanced and assembled, passing through up to 10 different stages of craftsmanship before reaching the end of the production process. The Custom version allows golfers to select their preferred shaft, head color, putting style, shaft lean, shaft length, lie angle, alignment markings, head weight, and grip.

VZN.1i is available now at www.labgolf.com and at authorized retailers starting June 9. The Stock model is available for $499; Custom versions start at $599. Golfers can explore all options through L.A.B. Golf’s official website.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — VESSEL, the leader in luxury performance golf bags and accessories, today announced the launch of the Sunday IV, the newest generation of its acclaimed Sunday bag collection.

Available in Black, Grey, White, and DXR Black, the Sunday IV offers golfers multiple premium material options. The standard collection features VESSEL’s signature Tour-Grade Synthetic Leather with genuine leather touchpoints and a pebbled finish, while the DXR Black model utilizes lightweight Diamond X-PAC Ripstop (DXR) construction for additional weight savings.
