Lamkin Grip Wins 2005 Tech Award

SAN DIEGO, California, October 5, 2005 - Recognizing the industry’s most exciting new grip design for 2005, editors of Golf Tips Magazine have awarded the Dual Density Crossline grip by Lamkin Corporation with a coveted GT Tech Award for its impressive dual-material performance.

Golf Tips Tech Awards showcase the top technological advances in golf equipment and feature the year’s best golf gear. In the Nov./Dec. 2005 issue of Golf Tips, editors gave the Lamkin Dual Density grip their highest praise: “The Dual Density Crossline multi-material design earns a GT Tech Award for providing golfers with a grip that has a soft outer layer for enhanced feel and tackiness, and a firm inner layer for increased stability and reduced torque. The combination performs impressively, and we recommend you give one a try the next time you re-grip your irons and woods.”

“The Dual Density Crossline grips represent the most exciting new innovation in golf grips to hit the market in decades, and it’s very rewarding to have Golf Tips recommend our grip to its readership,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “At Lamkin, we know that the key to a better game begins right at the fingertips and we’re committed to the never-ending task of improving golfers’ comfort, performance, confidence and enjoyment of the game.”

The Dual Density Crossline grip offers proprietary technology, making them the ultimate in durability and performance. The grips feature an outer layer of soft material with the renowned Crossline pattern and provide maximum control and a near perfect blend of tack, feel and shock absorption in all weather conditions. Beneath the surface, a firm underlisting enhances stability and reduces torque for consistent hand pressure throughout the golf swing. Dual Density Crossline grips are available in regular and oversize (+1/16 in.).

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 for more than 80 years.
