Lamkin Shows Traction at WGC Accenture Match Play

SAN DIEGO, California, February 22, 2007 — SAN DIEGO - As the world’s best golfers gather in Tucson, Ariz., to face off at the 2007 WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, Lamkin grips will be the preferred choice for two of the Top Three-seeded players. Lamkin remains America’s leading grip innovator and continues to deliver high-performance stability, comfort and traction on the pro tours around the word.

WGC Accenture Match Play Championship is a straight knock-out match play event with the field consisting of the Top 64 players available from the Official World Golf Rankings, seeded according to the rankings.

“Lamkin grips provide a level of performance and technology that is unequalled in the golf industry, and the increasing popularity of Lamkin grips at this week’s Accenture Match Play Championship is clear evidence that more pro golfers than ever before trust Lamkin for a competitive advantage,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “From our first Lamkin Leather wraps and our renowned Crossline to our new Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series, Lamkin grips continue to lead the industry in advanced material engineering and performance-enhancing innovation.”

The company’s newest innovation — the new Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series grips — is one great example of Lamkin’s technological leadership. Introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show last month, the Lamkin Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series grip 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. Unlike traditional grip patterns that can actually retain moisture, the Dual Density Torsion Control design utilizes a ‘moisture channeling’ pattern — similar to those found on high-performance tires — to enhance traction, feel and performance in all playing conditions. 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 enables a golfer to generate more distance and accuracy.

Lamkin Corporation has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer and the preferred grip of professional golfers worldwide for more than 80 years. For more information on Lamkin grips, call 800.642.7755 or visit www.lamkingrips.com.
