Lamkin Launches Quick Success on 2007 Tours

Delivering stability, comfort and tour-winning traction, Lamkin grips are among the most popular grips on pro tours around the world. With the 2007 season still fresh and golfers still anxiously anticipating the season’s first major, Lamkin grips have already chalked up one of the fastest, most successful tour starts in the company’s 80-year history.

So far in 2007, Lamkin high-performance grips have earned seven tour wins, 47 Top-10 finishes, 86 Top-25 finishes and tour earnings totaling $12.5 million — a winning pace that could set new company records.

Lamkin’s Tour Black Full Cord and Royal Sand Wrap grips grabbed victories, but Lamkin’s highly acclaimed Crossline grip remains a tour favorite. Few grip models have survived the test of time on tour like the Lamkin Crossline, but the Crossline Series continues to prove itself as one of the most enduring grip designs in golf. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Crossline provides the level of performance on which professional golfers rely, and the Crossline has already added four more pro tour wins this year to the model’s impressive total of 103 wins and 15 majors.

Engineered from a proprietary M2 rubber compound that provides greater tackiness and durability, the Crossline grip features the distinctive ‘Crossline’ pattern that increases hand-traction and reduces torque for ultimate performance. The combination of innovative design and material engineering has made the Crossline the winningest grip in Lamkin history.

“We’ve had great success during these first weeks on the pro tours, and we’re very excited by the growing support Lamkin grips have among pro tour players,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “More and more players — pros and amateurs alike — are realizing that high-performance grips provide a distinct competitive advantage, and we’ve specialized in innovative, performance-driven golf grip design for more than 80 years — longer than any other grip manufacturer in the world today.”
