How much does Rickie Fowler's L.A.B. DF3 putter cost?

Rickie Fowler's L.A.B. DF3 putter comes in two versions: a custom version priced at $559, and a stock version priced at $449. L.A.B. stands for Lie Angle Balance.

The L.A.B. has first launched DF 2.1, which received mixed reviews from users. Unlike traditional putters, these are neither face-balanced nor toe-hang. Their balance is optimized to help avoid twisting and eliminate the need to consciously keep the face aligned with the target.
