Lamkin Crossline Tops Frys.com Open

SAN DIEGO, California, October 15, 2006 - SAN DIEGO —Continuing its 2006 success, the Lamkin Crossline grip chalked up another victory on the PGA Tour by providing tour-proven traction, comfort and superior stability. At this weekend’s Frys.Com Open in Las Vegas, Nev., the champion played Lamkin’s Crossline grips to capture his first career PGA victory.

“We congratulate this week’s champion on a very strong victory with Crossline grips and a great first win,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin has been America’s leader in grip innovation for more than 80 years, and we’re very excited to see Crossline grips so popular on the pro tours as we approach the grip design’s 10th anniversary.”

The winningest grip in Lamkin history, 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. The Crossline pattern is available on a variety of models, including full cord, mid-size, jumbo, ladies and junior. In the Crossline cord models, soft cord fabric is strategically positioned throughout the grip, adding maximum traction for all-weather conditions.

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 Crossline to the original Crossline to the timeless favorite Perma-Wrap Classic, every Lamkin grip features the cutting-edge design, innovation and performance that have set industry standards for more than eight decades.

Headquartered in San Diego, Lamkin Corporation is a world-leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of Tour-quality golf club grips, featuring greater stability, traction and comfort.
