SAN DIEGO — Providing Tour-proven traction and stability on professional tours worldwide, Lamkin grips claimed victory at the European Tour’s Nedbank Challenge in Sun City, South Africa, after an exciting sudden death display. This year’s champion played the Lamkin Crossline Half Cord grip on his irons and delivered a dramatic win on Sunday, making a nine-foot birdie chip on the second playoff hole.
Chalking up its fifth pro win in four weeks, Lamkin continues to dominate the pro tours with unmatched design and material engineering. Lamkin is well-known for its award-winning innovation and research into proprietary composite materials that ensure each grip performs to exact specifications.
"The European Tour is increasingly recognized as one of the most competitive venues in golf, and we’re very excited for Lamkin grips to have delivered yet another victory," says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. "Lamkin remains totally committed to improving comfort, performance and player confidence through the the most innovative technologies and materials in golf. Eighty years ago, Lamkin led the way as America’s first golf grip manufacturer, and we are still leading the way today with the most innovative grips in golf."
So far in 2005, the Lamkin Crossline has already earned dozens of tour wins and is one of the best-selling grips in the world. Designed to reduce torque and increase hand traction with a distinctly soft feel, the Crossline is available in a variety of models, including lite, full cord, mid-size, logo-down, ladies and junior. The newest model, the Dual Density Crossline features an outer layer of soft material with the renowned Crossline pattern and a firm underlisting that enhances stability and reduces torques for consistent hand pressure throughout the swing.
