Lamkin Winnings Already Top $40 Million for 2007

SAN DIEGO, California, August 24, 2007 —Lamkin Corporation, America’s leader in grip innovation for more than 80 years, delivered another victory on the pro tours this weekend. Delivering comfort, traction and superior stability, Lamkin grips earned close to $1 million and pushed its 2007 earned winnings total beyond $40 million.

“We’ve enjoyed great success on the pro tours this season and we’re very proud that so many professional golfers rely on Lamkin grips to provide the grip stability, traction and performance they need to win,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “We know there are other grip brands the players could choose, but we’ve earned their trust with our 80 years of specialization in grip design. Some diversified industrial manufacturers make grips too. They may even make a lot of them. But we have more experience, and we’ve specialized in innovative golf grip design longer than any other company in the world.”

Currently, two of the Top Three golfers in the world, according to the Official World Golf Ranking, play grips designed and manufacturered by Lamkin. From the Crossline — the winningest grip in Lamkin history — to the Royal Sand Wrap, Lamkin manufactures the world’s most innovative grips. Introduced in 2007, the 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.

Lamkin Corporation has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer and the preferred grip of professional golfers worldwide. From the new Dual Density Torsion Control Tour Series to the original Crossline, every Lamkin grip features the cutting-edge design, innovation and performance that have set industry standards for more than 80 years.
