Lamkin Crossline Wins Longs Drugs Challenge

SAN DIEGO, California, September 28, 2006 - SAN DIEGO — Soon to be celebrating its 10th year of Tour success, the Lamkin Crossline grip is still hotter than ever on pro tours. At this weekend’s Longs Drugs Challenge on the LPGA Tour, Crossline grips won first-, second- and third-place and a fourth-place tie position by delivering superior stability, traction and comfort. Completely sweeping the top money positions at the Longs Drugs Challenge, Crossline grips captured more than a third of the $1.1 million purse.

“Few grip models survive the test of time and the trials on tour, but the Lamkin Crossline Series has proven itself as one of the most enduring grip designs in the history of the game,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “By gaining additional traction, stability and comfort from their grips, golfers can achieve greater confidence and performance in their golf game. Our Crossline grips remain one of the most popular grips in our history and a proven winner on pro tours around the world.”

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. In the Crossline cord models, soft cord fabric is strategically positioned throughout the grip, adding maximum traction for all-weather conditions.

America’s oldest grip manufacturer, 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. From the new Dual-Density Crossline to the Perma-Wrap Classic and original Crossline, every Lamkin grip features the technical innovation and exacting performance standards that have set the industry standard.
