1. Who should our next 2v2 be?

2. Why so many “we gotta hit this” who is we? It’s just you lol

3. 1v1 Landon Ashworth. might have some prolems with the stuff he says while playing tho

4. You need to 2v2 Tommy Fleetwood and Rick Shiels. Would be fire

5. Is it my imagination or is GH decelerating into the putt? Commented after first few holes. so I'll see if it continues.

6. Phil really said he's not a gambling man? Wow

7. " What's the matter, you not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? "

8. Hey wild, I was a caddy here for four years and saw Phil play it a few times

9. What shoes it Horvat wearing?

10. I got the movie quote Phil. I’m 49 years old.

11. It's funny how these guys talk Phil Mickelson has competed in some of the most pressure packed moments in golf history Grant Horvath does not have a clue or is nowhere on the level of Phil Mickelson

12. Great video! Love seeing Phil match the YouTube energy and help hand off the baton to the younger generations

13. Love to see a match at Oakland Hills this summer…

14. YES XANDER AND STEPH!!! PLEEEEEZE!!❤

15. How does 2 pay $1000 for one dinner

16. Why is this video so grainy

17. I miss phil

18. isnt that the same putter he always uses? does he have 2 lab putters in bronze?

19. What a great start, Phil, "I'm not a gambling man" LMFAO right off the bat!

20. Best chemistry. Phil's a national treasure

21. Another video with JT!!!

22. yall would beat FB and Dalke, yall would also beat Wyndam and Marky Mark. Xander and Steph would be a good match!!

23. Love the relationship these guys have. Almost a father and son vibe. Genuinely keeps you smiling throughout. Great watch!

24. When are we gonna get a Michael Morgan Update video?

25. Axel Foley is a national hero!

26. Let's goto Crystal Downs in northern Michigan

27. LAB Golf markets its putters around a single design claim: that eliminating torque about the shaft axis (“Lie Angle Balance”) will keep the face square and improve consistency. In theory, a zero-torque system reduces face-rotation induced by off-axis shaft placement. But this assumes that the golfer’s stroke plane, lie angle, and shaft axis remain perfectly matched to the engineered balance point — which is rarely true in real putting strokes.

    In practice, LAB’s system trades one variable (torque around the shaft axis) for another:
    extreme center-of-mass relocation and nontraditional geometry.
    Their designs require large, asymmetric heads and heavily forward-set shafts to achieve torque neutrality. This alters:

    • Moment of inertia distribution (MOI is not optimized uniformly)
    • Impact feel and sound (critical for distance control)
    • Dynamic face angle through impact (still highly dependent on grip pressure and path)

    There is no independent data showing LAB putters outperform traditional designs in dispersion, make percentage, or strokes gained at the elite level. If the physics advantage were universal, adoption would be inevitable on professional tours. Instead, the majority of elite players continue to use putters from long-established manufacturers with refined CG placement, predictable face rotation profiles, and decades of empirical validation.

    Brands like Scotty Cameron, Ping, and TaylorMade build putters around controlled face rotation matched to stroke arc, using combinations of:

    • Neck geometry (plumber’s, slant, flow)
    • Shaft offset and toe hang
    • Multi-material face construction
    • Tuned CG height and depth

    These companies design for stroke matching, not stroke elimination. LAB’s premise assumes face-rotation is inherently bad, yet biomechanically most golfers produce a natural arc. Engineering a putter to resist that arc can actually introduce timing errors and inconsistent speed control.

    From a marketing standpoint, LAB relies heavily on influencer repetition of simplified claims like “face stays square” and “physics-based design,” without publishing statistically significant comparative performance data. This allows premium pricing without tour dominance or long-term competitive benchmarks.

    In short:
    LAB putters are not invalid — they are a niche mechanical solution to a narrow subset of strokes.
    They are not demonstrably superior to conventional high-MOI mallets or blade designs.
    And without dominance at the professional level or peer-reviewed performance data, the claim of universal technical advantage remains unproven.

    If golfers truly selected equipment purely on mechanical performance rather than visibility and narrative, LAB would need to prove superiority in strokes gained, dispersion, and speed consistency, not influencer impressions.

28. I could of guessed that grant is a vanilla guy…. its conpletely fitting that he chooses vanilla over chicolate 😂😂

29. Had tiger not been around for so much of mickelsons career he would have gotten so many more wins

30. Something bothers me about these matches against LIV golfers! They wear the shirt, the hat and anything else they can to push their LIV team.
    PGA golfers that come on YouTube channels don’t wear huge PGA shirts or hats, they just come on as themselves!
    Very telling!

31. Phil still hasnt taken him to the Farms…

32. I love when a ad comes on and cut off all that yapping Phil be doing

33. Starting to remind me of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

34. Who would have thunk, grant is 2 and 0 against Phil and Brad,lol
