Lamkin Crossline Grips Top LPGA Majors

SAN DIEGO, California, June 12, 2006 - America’s leader in grip innovation for 80 years, Lamkin continues to be a dominant force on the professional tours' major events. After winning the first LPGA major of 2006, the Lamkin Crossline grip once again delivered superior traction, comfort and stability to take second-place at this year's second major event — McDonald’s LPGA Championship.

The second-place position was among three top 10 finishes at the Championship for Lamkin’s Crossline model, further solidifying the Crossline as one of the most successful grips on the LPGA tour.

“The Crossline is one of the most popular grips in our company’s history, and we’re very happy that the unparalleled performance of Lamkin grips has helped to make the LPGA one of the hottest tours in the world today,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. "Real performance begins at the point of contact between a player's hands and the club, and the Crossline grip, for example, features a unique rubber compound that provides increased traction and stability.”

For more than 80 years, Lamkin grips have provided greater stability, traction and comfort as well as a great sense of ‘connection’ with the clubhead that is necessary for optimal performance. The Crossline series features a distinctive pattern designed to increase hand traction while the latest grip for 2006, the Dual Density Torsion Control, offers a softer, tacky surface layer and innovative stabilizing bars that reduce torque and increase club control.

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 information on Lamkin, call 800.642.7755 www.lamkingrips.com.
