Four years after the original MEZZ entered the torque-free putting movement, L.A.B. Golf is giving the model a refreshing update. The Oregon-based manufacturer has officially unveiled the MEZZ.2i, a refined mid-mallet that incorporates five years of Tour feedback.
L.A.B. Golf focused on upgrading the shape, feel, and performance of the fanged mid-mallet while also maintaining the stability and face control golfers expect from L.A.B. Golf putters.
Rather than overhauling an already successful silhouette, L.A.B. approached the MEZZ.2i as an exercise in precision refinement.
“The original MEZZ played a pivotal role in establishing L.A.B. Golf’s presence on Tour. With MEZZ.2i, we wanted to honor that legacy while applying everything we’ve learned over the past five years,” said Cameron Day, Senior Vice President of Product at L.A.B. Golf. “Rather than reinventing what already worked, we focused on making every detail better. From mass distribution and stability to how the putter sits, launches, and ultimately performs, every refinement was informed by years of testing and Tour feedback. MEZZ.2i is the culmination of that experience—a familiar design, fundamentally improved.”
The updated fanged mid-mallet milled from 6061 aluminum features smoother contouring, modified sole geometry, and re-engineered internal mass properties designed to boost stability through the strike. The result is a cleaner address profile that delivers higher forgiveness on off-center strikes without altering the putter’s balance dynamics.
Along with the updated shaping, the Mezz.2i features the same deep fly-milled 303 stainless-steel insert found in the VZN.1i. The deeper milling compared to the original insert the company developed for the OZ.1i promotes more consistent forward roll and better speed control.
L.A.B. Golf has also expanded the alignment options with the Mezz.2i. New sightline configurations cater to varying player visual preferences and aiming tendencies.
The fanged rear structure has been reworked to offer two distinct methods for scooping golf balls cleanly off the green.
True to L.A.B. Golf’s design philosophy, the MEZZ.2i relies on patented Lie Angle Balance technology. By eliminating torque, the clubhead stays square to the stroke path, removing the need for players to manipulate or rotate the face during the putt manually.
Each putter undergoes up to 10 distinct stages of hand-balancing and assembly at L.A.B. Golf’s headquarters in Creswell, Oregon. Golfers can dial in their precise setup across lie angle, playing length, head weight, shaft selection, grip style, and finish color.
