As someone that is just starting to dabble in tournament play. This is my favorite type of videos from Pete. Absolutely love hearing your decision making process.
literally just purchased a DF3 after using a 2 ball for the last 15 years or so. I've played with one that's not quite to my spec over the last 3-4 weeks and the amount of holed long putts is pretty incredible and the lack of misses from 3-6 feet has been so much less than with my prior putter! I know it's not the most beautiful to look at, but I can't deny the results!
The best part of your current stuff is that you’re bringing out your inner voice as you play. We all do it. Golf drives us all a little crazy. Of course, you’re making a video for us to watch, so your internal commentary is necessary. But, frankly, that’s what the rest of us do, either internally or out loud all the time. I think it’s great to hear that process play out…to remind us how important it is to stay connected to the process…planning and execution all the way around the course. Never take anything for granted. It’s not easy. But, it’s rewarding to watch you improve and succeed. We’ve all had holes like those last two. Keep moving forward!
Hey Pete, loving how you’re talking through each shot. You always shoot better when doing that. My only advice is don’t spend so much time discussing where the misses are. Certainly note that where those are but then aim small miss small. You got an 8 under in you for sure, just don’t be so pessimistic as to where the misses are. Hit the shot! You got this!!
The editing, music, preshot routine, description of shots, e.t.c… What an amazing video Pete. Such a joy to watch. AND you have the draw on demand now, it seems like yesterday when you couldn’t draw the ball to save your life. Love how much work you put into improving your game.
Well played Pete! Nice to see the scoreboard pop up…. Didn’t realise I was leading at one point! Quirky course that rewarded solid play! See you at the next one 😎
Pete, the DF2.1 was an absolute game changer for me. Never have I holed more putts than what I am doing now. Went from a Versa 7, to a TM Spider (which I putt well with), and now the DF 2.1. It is imperative to overcome the learning curve because there definitely is one. My first 2 rounds with it had me thinking I made a mistake. However, once the feel of the putter is realized it is MONEY. You know this happens when you obviously start making putts, but moreover when you switch back to your old putter and it feels completely foreign. I know you are now playing with the DF 3 and not the 2.1, but it really is cool to see it help you the same way it helped me and so many others. Loving the content btw
So good to see you with the DF 3 in the bag Pete , I’ve had my DF 2.1 for over a year now and absolutely don’t see me ever putting with anything else, well maybe a DF 3 , well played again , great to see the upward trend in your game . Onwards and upwards.
I bought the DF 2.1 Armlock (did the online custom fitting w/L.A.B.) about a year ago. Since then putting has gone from a significant weakness to a strength. That thing is beyond legit. It will never ever leave my bag.
i am fortunate enough to live close to LAB's headquarters in Creswell, OR and did an in person fitting. these guys are on to something and are very passionate about their putters. i landed on the df3, bgt stability one shaft, press 3* grip, 34.5" and 72* lie. you have to get fit for these putters to get the full potential out of them. once you do, the results speak for themselves.
Well done! Great play, one thing I've noticed is how much your head seems to drop when you miss a putt. The putt is already done, it's gone - focus on your next shot and you'll be great! And that putter works well - whatever works and improves your consistency.
I've been watching you for years Pete and I'm super impressed how you've completely changed your ball flight from a cut to a draw. Have you considered doing a video explaining how you went about making these huge changes?
Enjoying your progression. I did recommend the DF 2.1 previously. Function over fashion and your putting confidence showed more when you had it in your bags months ago.
@@peterfinchgolfdont worry about what the haters will say 😂. I switched to the lab DF 2 about 5 yrs ago and will never go back. My whole life i was a tradional scotty cameron newport style guy. For me i really had to get used to just letting the weight of the lab do the work and not gripping it too tightly… once i got that its really just get your start line correct and let the putter do its thing. Loving the quest for the open vids pete. Awesome playing, good commentary, great editing and graphics… well done sir 👍
What a lovely golfcourse. As a Swede wi normally dont get too many of those tricky short courses where at first glance of the scorecard you would say you would crush it, but in reality its all about managing your ball and not get greedy cause it will blow up in your face - Quickly!
That was the best to date. Great attitude. So much better when you don’t kick yourself too hard. Interesting putter choice, but if it works, “Go for your life”. Thanks Pete. Good luck for the next one
love the attitude and comedy you have on this round. such a good sign of a stronger mental game. keep at it! i love these. Hope to see you on TV playing the open!
Love it, heading the right direction Pete. I have had my LAB for over two years and I love it - that said I am not 100th of the golfer you are buddy....
Brilliant video. Very enjoyable format. The graphics and information were top notch from the guys doing the video work. Best channel of its type currently on YT in my opinion. Well done team Finch.
Great round. Your course management was spot on. Unlucky on some nervous putts. But overall you are most certainly getting better. I wish I could talk to you about your mental approach. You get that part sorted, you will become a regular 67, 66 round player. Well done mate.
I’ve followed you a long time. I think you putted the best today. Well done Pete. You are awesome! Keep it up, but keep positive. You can do this for sure!!
“Pin high” is a sign of quality ball striking Pete! But also saying it is trying to find a positive to oneself for lack of direction! I’m saying this from years of experiencing it myself! 😂
Even if, for whatever reason, you don't make the qualifying this year, there's no denying that this is incredible seasoning for next year. Always stay positive and patient, Peter. You have a massive following now and we're all looking forward to seeing you in The Open. Only a matter of time.
Good golf again is definitely trending in the right direction. One thing I notice is a lot of the time you say where not to hit it - the professionals would not have that negative mindset and prioritize where to hit instead. Keep the good work going
Using my first Lab putter this summer. Have had it for ~1 month so far. Love my Lab DF3. It starts the ball online so well. Lag putting is a bit of an adjustment with no torque, but I can tell this is going to improve my game. Sitting at 2 handicap at the moment. Hoping to push to 0-1 this summer with work.
Pete you are a great player! More positive self talk will take you to the victory circle! Everything won’t happen perfectly as you planned, but accept the outcomes of each shot as an opportunity. You’ve got this!
We use your “sign of quality ball striking” all the time. Usually poorly emulating what we perceive as “your accent” with our accent. Another great vid! Hoping to see you at The Open in some capacity or another.
Best quest for the open series yet, loving seeing what you’re getting at when you take your golf seriously and great to see you playing some good golf in competition.
I like how you are determined to reach your goals. I think at this point it is the mental game and couurse management, some shots just endsup in really though spot, it really sets you in a bad place for the next hole because it just brings you down everytime you have to work harder for those PARs
Mr. Finch; I really do love your content and as well the personality you show even through rough times on the course 👌 That much praise comming from a german, must mean something 😁
Some say that his putter gives small children nightmares. And that he once had an affair with a Taylormade engineer. All we know is, he’s called the Finch.
Well done Peter, you know yourself there's a lot of room for improvement. You know, you let a few shots go there. Fine lines between greatness and obscurity. Your trending in the right direction, I'm willing you myself to reach the Open.
Pleasure to watch that, great ball striking. I'm actually gutted you finished 2nd, It was there for the taking. Keep up the consistency, you're smashing it.
This was more enthralling than watching a PGA tour event. Genuinely on the edge of my seat looking straight to the leader board after every hole on the back 9. Left a couple of shots out there but probably made as many too so evened out.
Wildly errant tee shot on 17 and a recovery for a makeable birdie putt resulting in a par - pretty solid golf Peter. You can't be down on yourself for that one. You didn't hit a single tee shot where you wanted yet you managed a 67. Your course management and mental game are on target. The DF3 looks like a keeper. That club put you in position to win.
Love this, Pete's game is definitely trending. One video I would love to see; Pete's boys vs Rick's boys, Ryder cup style matchplay with Pete and Rick as captains. Would be epic!
You have definitely upped your game..in both senses of the word ! Well done for some excellent content and keep it up Pete. I love the tempo of your swing by the way.
Something I found helpful with my L.A.B putter was lifting my thumbs off the grip when putting. Allows the club to work as intended and not allowing your thumbs to overpower your grip.
Well done mate! You could have easily won. I really enjoy this series, also you talking about the importance of the mental side of the game. I feel like in any sports that is what separates the (consistently) top players from the rest and maybe especially in golf. I think you are already improving that aspect a lot. Padraig tought you well ;) Looking forward to see more!!
Congratulations on the series. Such great watching. Would luv to see an episode on how to think, plan and execute getting out of trouble from bad tee shots to short siding yourself.
My dad’s a member at Heysham GC and for the first time ever mentioned “a UA-cam golfer was not the course” lol. Prior he’d paid zero attention to my UA-cam watching. He’s over in Texas visiting me for a couple weeks .. and he played great on our hard Texas dirt last weekend.
You may have lost the round but you did win my respect (again). Small consolation prize but hey at least you know there's someone out here rooting for you. You got this, Pete.
You're definitely a much better player when you speak out your preshot routine, it keeps you relaxed and focused on the shot. It's really satisfying to watch you sink those birdie putts...hope to see many more. Great video well done to the team!!!
Great to watch Pete. I have that same L.A.B. DF3 in a 38" counterbalanced model (like the Wyndham and Rickie jailbird). It's wonderful but it takes a few rounds to get rid of your old putting compensations (which you didn't have too much of in the round). It appeared as though you would have made one more putt but the greens were a bit wooley and it hopped on you, leaving you near the edge of the cup. Great playing, great putting. Best to you.
Great to see you taking on board the words of wisdom from Padraig 😊 Not your best striking but course management is getting much better. Look forward to the watching the rest of the season 🏆
My custom DF3 is in production as of Thursday and should arrive in the next 8-10 days. I hated them when I first saw them, but after trying them out at PGA Tour Superstore, it had the best feel of the 12-15 putters I tried.
Pete, you're definitely going in the right direction, and the way you are talking through the shots is very interesting. AGOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE mate❤❤
That putter shares some features of mine Rife Barbados. Center shaft , grooves on the face . I love mine if you hate the look of yours. Try the Rife. Get one used with a super stroke grip $100
Really enjoyed the video Pete. Have to say, the LAB putter looked very comfortable with those knee knockers. You stroked it a lot better than your other putter. I'd be sticking with it for a few more rounds to see.
I love the videography and presentation of this series......overhead view, clubs, distances, showing the lines etc.....really great to follow Mr F.
100% agree... it's really absorbing to watch.
I’m loving these top gear style intro’s lmao
Absolutely loving these comp videos, helps me alot with my game 👍

Pete out there golfing with Zooey Deschanel. Loving this series,
Hey Pete, loving how you’re talking through each shot. You always shoot better when doing that. My only advice is don’t spend so much time discussing where the misses are. Certainly note that where those are but then aim small miss small. You got an 8 under in you for sure, just don’t be so pessimistic as to where the misses are. Hit the shot! You got this!!
The editing, music, preshot routine, description of shots, e.t.c… What an amazing video Pete. Such a joy to watch. AND you have the draw on demand now, it seems like yesterday when you couldn’t draw the ball to save your life. Love how much work you put into improving your game.
The “blame this guy” transition at 11:50 is spot on. Top editing and video again lads!
Yessss knew someone would spot it! -M
Ayee!! Fun video Pete 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You gained a subscriber just from having the balls to do this during an actual tourney and giving your perspective! Love it!
Well played Pete! Nice to see the scoreboard pop up…. Didn’t realise I was leading at one point! Quirky course that rewarded solid play! See you at the next one 😎
Love this series, and the editing is among the best out there!

I wear my group out with "Do you know what pin high means? Sign of a quality ball striker"
Same here 😂
@danienel5742 they literally finish the statement lol
I do the same 😂
😂
Same.. it's hilarious and I refuse to stop.
i am fortunate enough to live close to LAB's headquarters in Creswell, OR and did an in person fitting. these guys are on to something and are very passionate about their putters. i landed on the df3, bgt stability one shaft, press 3* grip, 34.5" and 72* lie. you have to get fit for these putters to get the full potential out of them. once you do, the results speak for themselves.

And that putter works well - whatever works and improves your consistency.
anybody else think this guy is loads better then the other guy RS, miles ahead!!!!!
My favourite UA-cam series by far. My Son and I always sit down and watch it together. Already excited for next episode ❤
I've been watching you for years Pete and I'm super impressed how you've completely changed your ball flight from a cut to a draw. Have you considered doing a video explaining how you went about making these huge changes?
Love these videos in particular Peter. No frills, completely honest and so good to watch. Good luck with your quest - you can certainly do it.
Enjoying your progression. I did recommend the DF 2.1 previously. Function over fashion and your putting confidence showed more when you had it in your bags months ago.
Man, that Lab putter and you are a good combination. Really nice saves.
I hope so 🤞

This is growing on me as a series, feeling the emotions and talking out loud to myself, just like Pete does.
Pete game looks great. Boys the editing is at another level. I love the aim point, nice to see where he is intending to go and if he pulls it off.
Love the fact that you have the goals and ambitions/ something to aim for. Like we all have in our own way
Love following this journey Pete, really good watch. Now my favourite UA-cam channel, keep it up, great stuff
Great to hear!
That was the best to date. Great attitude. So much better when you don’t kick yourself too hard. Interesting putter choice, but if it works, “Go for your life”. Thanks Pete. Good luck for the next one

I got fitted for a LAB Mezz putter and it's superb, love the technology and science behind it! Who cares what people think if it works and you like it

Love how this was all put together for viewing pleasure, also dig the mood music added, very well put together presentation
Head and shoulders the best golf content on UA-cam
Love this type of content, so well put together.
Good golf again is definitely trending in the right direction. One thing I notice is a lot of the time you say where not to hit it - the professionals would not have that negative mindset and prioritize where to hit instead. Keep the good work going

You played great and kept the emotions in check, probably your best event round to date very well done!
What a tricky, fiddly course - my worst nightmare. Really enjoying this QFTO series, superb. Top notch editing too. Great stuff.
We use your “sign of quality ball striking” all the time. Usually poorly emulating what we perceive as “your accent” with our accent. Another great vid! Hoping to see you at The Open in some capacity or another.

I love when music starts to play when Pete’s putting because it means something good is gonna happen
By far the best UA-cam channel. The content is so pure and real. Puts shiels to shame
I’m so hooked on “hav a day “ you got nuthin. But great golf . Entertainment not even close
I like how you are determined to reach your goals. I think at this point it is the mental game and couurse management, some shots just endsup in really though spot, it really sets you in a bad place for the next hole because it just brings you down everytime you have to work harder for those PARs
Love everything about the graphics and production of these videos. Awesome job. Feels like I'm watching it on tv.

its the putter formally known as Prince
blazed by this and had to circle back. EXCELLENT.
A bit overpriced... A sign O' the times...
Camera angle behind you and low to the ground to see the putt is choice. You're definitely trending and these videos are awesome to see the journey.
Great to see you go around my home course pete!! It's a tricky track for us mortals and you made it look easy in places. Loving this series!
You have definitely upped your game..in both senses of the word ! Well done for some excellent content and keep it up Pete. I love the tempo of your swing by the way.
Something I found helpful with my L.A.B putter was lifting my thumbs off the grip when putting. Allows the club to work as intended and not allowing your thumbs to overpower your grip.
Definitely trending in the right direction Pete. Mental and course management both. Keep it up, cheering you on from the US!
Loving the open videos. Any chance we could see a quick shot of a close up of the lie after each shot up the green. Be useful for us guys learning.
Well done mate! You could have easily won. I really enjoy this series, also you talking about the importance of the mental side of the game. I feel like in any sports that is what separates the (consistently) top players from the rest and maybe especially in golf. I think you are already improving that aspect a lot.

Pete - you are the man! Best golf content on UA-cam at the moment and it’s a pleasure to watch you play
The production value in this video is so good!
Congratulations on the series. Such great watching.
Would luv to see an episode on how to think, plan and execute getting out of trouble from bad tee shots to short siding yourself.
I was in the same school year as Phil Kelly. Great golfer. Keep up the hard work Pete.
Love that course, so much different than the usual long ones! Real test of golf
My dad’s a member at Heysham GC and for the first time ever mentioned “a UA-cam golfer was not the course” lol. Prior he’d paid zero attention to my UA-cam watching. He’s over in Texas visiting me for a couple weeks .. and he played great on our hard Texas dirt last weekend.
super interesting watching petes game improve as he's gone on throughout the series. lots of obvious signs he is going to win the open!!
Pete! Your team is just outstanding. All the new cinematography is on point. Damn! Oh! And pin high is a sign of a flat putt....hopefully
Fantastic to see your process, and the improvements that are there already.
It's nice to see you play strategically and reap the benefits, even when you don't have your 'A' game. Keep it up!
This is easily the
Best UA-cam golf series right now
You may have lost the round but you did win my respect (again). Small consolation prize but hey at least you know there's someone out here rooting for you. You got this, Pete.
Super round Peter, keep talking through it but don't forget your breathing it's calming.
Fabulous stuff the golf the voiceover the videography beyond classic thanks
You're definitely a much better player when you speak out your preshot routine, it keeps you relaxed and focused on the shot. It's really satisfying to watch you sink those birdie putts...hope to see many more. Great video well done to the team!!!
Loving this series and the production is outstanding.. keep up the good work.
Great to watch Pete. I have that same L.A.B. DF3 in a 38" counterbalanced model (like the Wyndham and Rickie jailbird). It's wonderful but it takes a few rounds to get rid of your old putting compensations (which you didn't have too much of in the round). It appeared as though you would have made one more putt but the greens were a bit wooley and it hopped on you, leaving you near the edge of the cup. Great playing, great putting. Best to you.
Great to see you taking on board the words of wisdom from Padraig 😊 Not your best striking but course management is getting much better. Look forward to the watching the rest of the season 🏆

Pete, you're definitely going in the right direction, and the way you are talking through the shots is very interesting. AGOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE mate❤❤
Swing looks great Pete. Loving the series.
Absolutely love the target line...looking good Pete
You have a great team with you. This video and the detail was amazing
Loving this series and this episode in particular. Best videos on UA-cam
That putter shares some features of mine Rife Barbados. Center shaft , grooves on the face . I love mine if you hate the look of yours. Try the Rife. Get one used with a super stroke grip $100
Really enjoyed the video Pete. Have to say, the LAB putter looked very comfortable with those knee knockers. You stroked it a lot better than your other putter. I'd be sticking with it for a few more rounds to see.
Love the vids Pete and the commentary on what you’re seeing 👍🏻
Great viewing once again. This channel just gets better and better, well done to all involved 👍.
