L.A.B.’s remote fitting is a practical way to obtain a length-and-lie recommendation from its required video and measurement. An in-person session is more useful when you also need to compare head shapes, grips, shafts or weighting through actual putting.

The remote process answers a defined question
The official remote-fitting page asks for a short video, approximately five seconds and no larger than 5MB, plus a putter measurement. It specifies a level surface, a vertical background reference, camera height around the hands and golf or tennis shoes. Follow its measurement from the bottom center of the face to the top of the grip.
L.A.B. uses the submission to recommend length and lie by email. That is not the same experience as trying multiple physical builds. Keep the recommendation and any follow-up explanation with your eventual order.
| Your uncertainty | Useful route to investigate |
|---|---|
| Length and lie for an otherwise settled choice | Remote submission following the official instructions |
| Which head shape helps me aim? | In-person comparison with actual demonstrators |
| Grip, shaft or weighting preference | In-person access to the specific alternatives |
| Both dimensions and model choice | Remote preparation followed by an appropriately equipped session |
Make the video representative
Use a comfortable putter and your normal setup rather than trying to make the club sit flat for the camera. Do not adopt a new posture simply because you think it looks more technically correct. The fitting needs to see how you actually address the ball.
Check framing and lighting before submitting. If you normally use an armlock or longer putting style, use the relevant instructions rather than improvising from the standard-putter example. Explain any uncertainty in the submission so the fitting team can request clarification.
What an in-person session can add
L.A.B.’s Creswell, Oregon fitting studio describes comparisons of head shapes, lengths, lie angles, grips, shafts and weighting. That is a specific headquarters service description. Ask a local US retailer what it can demonstrate rather than assuming every location offers the same equipment or process.
Book around the choices you need to make. If a particular model or grip is essential, confirm it is present before traveling. A premium fitting fee does not guarantee access to a configuration the location does not hold.
Use useful putting tasks
Compare start line on short putts and pace control across longer distances. Keep the ball and surface consistent where possible. Alternate builds instead of completing every putt with one before trying the next. Record which changes improve your ordinary attempts rather than only the best sequence.
Our putter-selection guide provides broader context. The putter-grip guide can help you describe a preference, but the actual fitted grip should be tested where that choice is important.
Resolve conflicting recommendations before ordering
If a remote and in-person recommendation differ, compare the setup and measurement method first. Ask both fitters what information led to the result. Do not average the two lie angles and call that a compromise without understanding the difference.
Check whether your posture, putter length or putting style changed between sessions. Our putter-length guide explains why one dimension can influence the rest of the setup. A clear record is more useful than treating either route as automatically superior.
Turn the result into an exact build
Save the final model, handedness, style, length, lie, shaft, grip and alignment choice. Check that the basket reproduces it and read the seller’s current custom-order terms. A fitting recommendation does not remove the need to verify what you are purchasing.

Check the exact model, generation and seller. Results can include alternatives; a search link does not confirm availability. Use the official supplier links for specialist products and services.
Choose remote fitting for the questions it can answer well and an in-person session when physical comparisons matter. The useful outcome is a defensible specification and a putter you have chosen deliberately, not simply completion of a fitting form.
