Fairway Tips and News compares the Performance Golf RS1 and LAB Golf DF3 putters, examining active versus passive face control technology to help mid-to-low handicap golfers choose based on stroke tendencies, pricing, and return policies.

Pleasant Prairie, United States, October 3, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Fairway Tips and News has published a comparison of two putters that have generated attention among serious golfers this year: the Performance Golf RS1 and the LAB Golf DF3. The guide walks through how each putter addresses face control at impact and gives mid-to-low handicap golfers a practical framework for deciding which technology fits their stroke.

Both putters aim to solve the same problem: even accomplished golfers introduce small, often imperceptible face rotation during the putting stroke, and that rotation is a common source of missed putts. The RS1 and DF3 were engineered around that issue, though each takes a markedly different path toward addressing it.
The RS1 relies on Forward Axis Weighting, a design that places over 75% of its 360-gram head mass in the front 25% of the clubhead. That forward mass creates a constant gravitational pull that works to bring the face back toward square throughout the stroke. The DF3 takes the opposite route, using zero-torque Lie Angle Balancing to remove rotational force on the head, so the face stays wherever the stroke places it rather than being corrected.
Choosing between the two comes down to understanding a golfer's own stroke tendencies. Golfers with a consistent directional face angle issue, such as a tendency to leave the face slightly open or closed at impact, are the ones the RS1's correction was built to help; golfers with a well-grooved, neutral stroke that shows only random variance around square may be better served by the DF3, since its neutrality lets that stroke work without outside interference.
Price is a more straightforward factor in the decision: both the RS1 and the DF3 start at $399. Return policies differ more notably. The RS1 comes with a 365-day money-back guarantee, while LAB Golf provides a 14-day return window for stock putters and a 14-day window for custom putters, with restocking fees applying in both cases, though policies can vary by retailer. For golfers wanting to test face-squaring technology with a longer window to decide, the RS1's return policy offers more time to do so.
Fairway Tips and News built this comparison to give golfers a clear, practical way to weigh active correction against passive neutrality before buying. Readers are encouraged to consider their own stroke tendencies and preference around return policies when deciding between the RS1 and DF3. The company continues to produce equipment comparisons for golfers of every skill level.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to price. That is why Pat Chung prefers lab-grown diamonds. The 36-year-old Hongkonger says they are much cheaper than a natural diamond for the same quality and size and they are easier to source. “I searched for the exact colour, size and shape that I wanted and sent it to my jeweller,” Chung says, adding that more people are opting for lab-grown diamonds compared to a decade ago. The global trend shows how dramatically the diamond business has changed...

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...
Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...
When Sonia Chandiramani lost her mum to ovarian cancer in 2017, she found solace in an unexpected place: the rugby pitch. “I was spending five nights a week with my team, plus weekends,” says the 33-year-old Chandiramani, who had been playing since she was 14. “It was my second family. “At her funeral, people showed up, and it meant a lot,” she says. “It’s just a reminder that there are more families than just your family.” Two years later, Chandiramani and some fellow players established...
Despite two much-maligned live-action film adaptations inspired by the popular fighting video game Street Fighter in the past several decades – its namesake 1994 film and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) – it seems Hollywood has yet to give up on the franchise. Paramount Pictures just premiered its live-action reboot film Street Fighter starring Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa and Callina Liang. The film’s plot follows the game’s fighter avatars Ryu (Koji) and his estranged...
