Q: I installed the performance plus cord grips and it feels like the ball flight is somewhat lower especially in chipping around the greens. What is the reason for this and how can this be changed? I had not experienced this in your crossline cord or N-Dur grip.

A: There should not be a change in ball flight based upon which of these three grips you use.
It may be beneficial to take a lesson from your local PGA professional to see if something has changed in your setup or swing.

Q: I have a set of Tommy Armour Ti-100 oversize titanium irons with Aldila Graphite OEM Shafts. I believe that these are big butt or large core shafts. What grip will fit?

A: The largest core size we currently offer is the Taylor Made Crossline Bubble (http://www.lamkingrips.com/Crossline_Bubble_Original.php) with a .680\" core size.
I would suggest that you consult one of our distributors for additional options and insight as to the exact butt diameter of the shafts in your irons. Here is a list of our distributors: http://www.lamkingrips.com/index.php?pr=Domestic_Distributors.

Q: I\\\'m very curious and excited about the new 3 gen material and it\\\'s vibration dampening properties and would like to know how a performance plus 3 gen compares to a stingfree crossline tour grip on both the vibration absorption and feedback level?

A: Grips containing 3GEN material are the most shock absorbing grips in Lamkin\'s catalog and the most shock absorbing grips on the market today.
To answer your feedback question, Performance Plus 3GEN and N-DUR are premium, performance grips. These are not soft grips like other shock absorbant options. If you miss a shot with a club that has a 3GEN grip, you will still receive some feedback. The biggest advantage that 3GEN material offers is the reduced wear and tear caused by hitting many golf balls.

Q: what effect will going to a 57 gm wait grip from a 25 gm weight?
I am a senior with a slow swing speed will this slow my swing speed more?

A: To tell you the truth, it depends on how the club you put the 25 gram grip on was designed. What I mean is, if the grip was not designed from the start to have the 25g grip on it, it was probably designed with a 50gram grip as standard.

When you put the 25gram grip on, the swing weight changed by 5 swingweight points. Putting the 57 gram grip on should bring the club back to within one swingweight of the original weighting of the club.

If the club was designed with the 25g grip as standard, than putting the 57g grip on will lower the swingweight by 6 points.

Hope that makes sense.

Q: How will the N-Dur material feel in the rain ? And what is best to clean them, that white color looks kind of high maintenance.

A: The N-DUR grips are made with Lamkin's 3GEN material which is very, very good in the rain. Moisture makes the grip extremely tacky.

As for the White, the grip can be cleaned with a towel and water. With the density of the material, anything that gets on the grip is normally just on the surface and can be wiped clean with a wet towel.

Q: I recently tried out your performance plus 3GEN grip and really liked how it felt and played I just could not get used to the white color. I then installed your performance plus cord grip because I had read that both of these would be the same in that they have a reduced taper. However after installing the performance plus cord I noticed that they are not as thick in the lower section as the performance plus 3GEN is there a reason for this? How soon will you be making the Performance plus 3GEN in a solid dark color such as blue or black? I am really interested in this particular grip and would defintely purchase them when you start marketing them.

A: Thank you for your questions. Performance Plus and Performance Plus Cord and made with the same molds as Performance Plus 3GEN, so the size is the same for all three models. Perhaps you felt a difference because of the 3GEN material.
We are constantly prototyping new models and color options. It would be premature to speculate what other options we will bring to the market. We should have some more variations ready for a late Fall/early Winter release. Check back often.

Q: does lamkin still make leather grip? if so where can i get them?

A: Unfortunately Lamkin does not manufacture leather grips any longer. Several golfers that have tried our new Performance Plus with 3GEN material have commented that this grip provides a similar tacky feel to that of a leather grip.
