How the 4.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what L.A.B. Golf publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head type | 4 | Zero-torque build: the shaft sits at the balance point, so the face turns less during the stroke. |
| Forgiveness score | 4.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Length and hand decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.

| Construction | L.A.B. built the VZN.1i "to make aiming easy": a six-sided head with "a system of lines on the crown, some parallel to your target-line, some perpendicular to it, that clearly indicate how the face is aligned". Once aimed, "its zero torque properties and lie angle balance technology" (L.A.B.'s term for its zero-torque build) keep the head on its path. No MOI or head weight published. Stock build: Matte Black Premium Steel shaft, 69° lie, Press Pistol 2 Degree Black grip, E-1 alignment mark, full-sized centre-shafted mallet headcover; delivery quoted at 1-2 weeks. |
