Q: How often do Tour pros change their grips compared to amateurs? What is the general rule for recreational players to follow to re-grip with Lamkin? A: Tour players are offered the luxury of changing their grips as often or as little as possible because of the weekly availability of manufacturer s Tour trailers at each event which stock each player s grip of choice. Amateurs, however, must decide which grip they want, source the grip and then find a place to have it installed when they are ready to re-grip. A general rule for re-gripping is once every year or every 60 rounds. Regardless of how often you play, the elements that surround golf (UV exposure, heat, dirt and oils from your hands) are constantly at work affecting the performance characteristics of the materials that make up your grips. More frequent play may dictate re-gripping sooner, but even with normal use, exposure and wear, it is a good idea to re-grip annually. You may find that getting in the routine of re-gripping at the beginning of each season will not only remind you to do it but also give you the best chance of playing at your full potential. .

Q: I'm starting to see some considerably fatter jumbo grips on putters. How does the thickness affect your putting stroke? A: A trend in larger or fatter putter grips has developed over the last few years to combat a need to reduce a breakdown in the wrists throughout the putting stroke. Additionally, larger grips can help to keep the putter face square through impact.. Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: What do I need to re-grip my clubs at home? A: Lamkin recommends taking your clubs to a certified club-maker or fitting professional for best results. However, re-gripping can be done at home, with a hook blade to remove old grips, grip tape, grip solvent, and a vice or clamp to stabilize your club for installation. . Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: I noticed that a jumbo Crossline grip is about 25 grams heavier than the standard size. What effect would this have on the swing weight of an iron? A: Bob, This is a great question. The rule of thumb is that for every 5 grams, the swingweight changes by 1 swingweight point. In this case the heavier grip would result in a swingweight that is 5 points lower on the swingweight scale. Kindest regards, Andy Director of US Sales, Lamkin Grips. Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: I have a large hand on your size chart. Do I need an oversize grip? I prefer the Performance plus. A: Paul, For someone with large hands, the range of grips we suggest is from Standard to Midsize depending on your preference of feel in a grip and your normal shot shape. If you like the Performance Plus model, with its reduced taper and slightly larger size, you have two options. The standard size grip is slightly larger in the bottom hand than a traditonal standard size profile. There is also a Midsize version available that is 1/16'' larger than the standard version. Hope this helps. Andy Director of US Sales. Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: I currently use the Lamkin Crossline oversize grips on my callaway X22 irons. I would like to change my grips on my Diablo 3 wood and FT 9 driver. Would these grip make a good choice on these clubs as well as I already find them a great fit on my irons? A: Jason, If you like and are having success with the Crossline Oversize grips on your irons, it is a good idea to have them across your entire set for consistency and confidence. Kindest regards, Andy Director of US Sales. Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: I would like to have a 1/64" undersize grip on my irons (.600" butt diameter shafts). Can a .600" round crossline be "stretched" during installation or should I install a womens grip with buildup tape? Thanks A: Stretching a grip can be done but if you are trying to do this across a set of irons it is unlikely that you will be able to stretch all grips with the same exact force to make them the same size. In this instance, I would suggest either buying a grip that is 1/64" undersize or building up a Women's model with 2 wraps of tape. . Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |

Q: Looking at teh new line of grips for 2010, what is the main differeence between the N-Dur and 3GEM. A: Tom, 3GEN is actually the material that is used in two lines of new grips for 2010. The 3GEN material is incredibly shock absorbant and tacky. N-DUR is a 2-color line of grips with both colors in the grip being comprised of 3GEN. The top of the grip has a smoother pattern while the bottom of the grip has a more aggressive pattern with varying texture to create a higher amount of traction. The Performance Plus 3GEN is the other line that features 3GEN and has a uniform pattern. Both grips feature Lamkin's Performance Plus reduced taper profile to produce a more stable and unified grip on the club. Kindest regards, Andy. Thanks, Lamkin Sales Team |
