In this episode of Off the Deck, Josh sits down with Brian Parks, VP of Engineering at L.A.B. Golf, to take listeners behind the scenes of one of golf’s most innovative companies. Brian shares the excitement around L.A.B. Golf’s latest release—the heel shafted putter—and unpacks the creative and technical challenges that come with revolutionizing the world of putting. From prototype development cycles and balancing physics to stories about working directly with Adam Scott and even Charlie Woods reaching out for a putter, you’ll get an insider’s look at how top-tier gear gets designed and adopted by the pros.

Brian opens up about L.A.B. Golf’s rapid growth, what it’s like for the team to see their putters win PGA Tour events, and how their technology is changing the way amateurs and pros approach the greens. Plus, he gives a fascinating glimpse into the company’s Eugene-based headquarters—formerly a fitness club and pool, now transformed into a cutting-edge R&D and fitting facility. If you’ve ever wondered how a golf company tackles design challenges, grows its team, handles surging demand, and maintains its soul after a big acquisition, this episode is for you. Grab your L.A.B. putter (or order one!) and enjoy this tech-driven, story-rich round on Off the Deck.
