Andy DevaneyL.A.B. Golf’s latest limited-edition putter arrives with Stephen Curry’s UNDERRATED Golf name on it, but the more interesting part is what sits behind the branding.
Limited-edition golf gear usually arrives with the subtlety of a driver advert in a thunderstorm. A new colourway here, a stamped logo there, perhaps a headcover with enough embroidery to trouble a sofa. Nice enough, often collectable, occasionally irresistible, but not always carrying much weight beyond the shelf appeal.
The UNDERRATED Golf Collection from L.A.B. Golf has a little more substance about it.
The collection has been introduced as a limited-edition collaboration between L.A.B. Golf, UNDERRATED Golf and Stephen Curry, with a specially created putter leading the release. Alongside it sit matching limited-edition headcovers, a divot tool and a ball marker.
That makes it a product launch, certainly. But it also lands inside a wider relationship between L.A.B. Golf and UNDERRATED Golf, one centred on supporting young golfers and widening access within the junior game.
A Putter With A Bigger Backstory
The lead item is the limited-edition putter, shaped by the collaboration between L.A.B. Golf, UNDERRATED Golf and Curry.
For golfers, the L.A.B. name does the heavy lifting here. The brand has built its reputation around putting, and this release places that expertise into a collection connected with Curry’s UNDERRATED Golf platform.
There are no supplied performance claims to lean on here, so this is not the place to start inventing miracles on the greens. Golf has quite enough of those already, mostly from people standing over six-footers they have absolutely no business missing.
What can be said is more grounded: this is a collector-led equipment release built around a recognised putting brand, a global sporting figure and a golf initiative with a stated emphasis on access, opportunity and player development.
That combination is the story.
Why Stephen Curry’s Golf Work Matters
Curry’s presence in golf is not new, but UNDERRATED Golf gives that interest a more directed purpose. The platform’s focus, as presented through this collection, is on access, opportunity and player development.
In a sport still wrestling with the question of who gets invited in, that matters. Junior golf is not short of talent. It is short of clear pathways, affordable opportunities and visible encouragement for many of the players who might otherwise never get near the right tee sheet, coach or competitive environment.
This collaboration does not solve all of that. A limited-edition putter was never going to carry golf’s structural problems out of the bunker on its own. But it does put the conversation somewhere golfers will notice it: in equipment, in collectables and in the kind of launch that gets attention beyond the usual junior-development circles.
The Collection Beyond The Putter
The UNDERRATED Golf Collection also includes limited-edition headcovers, a divot tool and a ball marker.
That gives the release a broader identity than a single putter drop. The accessories matter because they make the collection feel like a complete golfing statement rather than a one-off collaboration with a famous name attached to it.
There is an obvious lifestyle element here, but it still sits within the language of the course. Headcovers, ball markers and divot tools are not abstract merchandise. They are the small, familiar objects golfers handle every round, usually while telling themselves they are definitely about to hole something important.
For a limited-edition collection, that is sensible territory. It keeps the release close to the game rather than drifting into celebrity memorabilia with dimples.
L.A.B. Golf, UNDERRATED Golf And The Access Question
The existing relationship between L.A.B. Golf and UNDERRATED Golf gives the launch its editorial interest.
Without that, this would be a neat product collaboration. With it, the collection becomes part of a broader effort to connect equipment culture with junior golf opportunity.
There is a delicate balance in stories like this. Golf brands are always keen to talk about purpose, and not every purpose-led launch survives contact with scrutiny. Here, the supplied facts support a clear but measured reading: L.A.B. Golf and UNDERRATED Golf are continuing a partnership centred on supporting young golfers and widening access within the junior game.
That is worth noting because access remains one of golf’s defining questions. The game loves to talk about growth, but growth without opportunity is just a bigger queue outside the same locked gate.

For golfers, the attraction will likely be split. Some will see the putter first. Some will see Curry’s name first. Others will be drawn to the UNDERRATED Golf connection and the junior access angle behind it.
The strongest version of this launch is the one that allows all three to exist at once. A limited-edition putter can be desirable. A collection can look sharp. A collaboration can also point towards something more useful than another object for the equipment cupboard.
In golf, that is not a bad three-ball.
