Lamkin’s Hot Streak Sizzles on Tours

SAN DIEGO, California, February 12, 2007 —SAN DIEGO — Red hot on pro tours worldwide, Lamkin grips provided the unsurpassed stability, comfort and traction that earned two more tour wins this weekend — a hot streak that has seen five victories in four weeks.

Lamkin’s highly acclaimed Crossline grip followed up its Australian Open win by claiming victory at the ANZ Australian Ladies Masters at The Royal Pines Resort. Meanwhile, the San Diego-based company’s Royal Sand Wrap grip captured victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

“Tour players around the world trust Lamkin grips to provide a competitive advantage, and five tournament wins in four weeks is a great testament to the superior performance characteristics incorporated into every Lamkin grip,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “We’ve spent over 80 years specializing in innovative golf grip design and the success of Lamkin players — pro and amateur alike — are some of our greatest rewards.

The winningest grip in Lamkin history, the Crossline grip features a proprietary M2 rubber compound that adds tack and durability while the distinctive pattern increases hand-traction and reduces torque for ultimate performance. The Crossline pattern is available on a variety of models, including full cord, mid-size, jumbo, ladies and junior. The Royal Sand Wrap grip has been a staple on the PGA Tour for several seasons and, most notably, won the 2006 Masters. The Royal Sand Wrap provides excellent traction with a tacky material composition and an innovative sand-like surface texture.

From the Crossline to the Royal Sand Wrap, Lamkin manufactures the world's most innovative grips. The new-for-2007 Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series grip, for example, incorporates 20 separate, stabilizing bars to reduce torque and increase club control, and features Lamkin’s patented Laser-Tac™ surface technology to improve player performance. The Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series grip also features a shock-absorbing outer layer that is strategically injected around the firmer base contours of the grip. Together, the unique design, material engineering and surface technology allow for consistent hand pressure throughout the swing, which ultimately delivers more distance and accuracy.
