SAN DIEGO, Calif. (May 30, 2006) – The hottest high-performance grips in golf today, Lamkin grips chalked up their seventh win in four weeks and are seemingly the grip of choice for champions in pro events worldwide. This week’s victor at the BMW Championship on the PGA European Tour rolled over the competition with a five-stroke margin of victory playing the Lamkin Crossline series, one of the most successful grips in Lamkin’s 80-year history.
In other tour action this weekend, the Lamkin Crossline and other grip models provided superior grip traction, stability and comfort to take two Top 10 money positions at the LPGA Corning Classic, and four more Top 10s at the Senior PGA Championship.
"Lamkin is the preferred choice of pro tour players around the world for three simple reasons — stability, comfort and traction," says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Grips. "When crafted with award-winning innovation and superior engineering, these characteristics in a Lamkin golf grip produce greater performance and player confidence. We are very proud that our specialization in grips for 80 years has earned us the respect and trust of pros everywhere."
Lamkin has produced the most technologically advanced grips in golf for more than eight decades, and has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer. From the popular Crossline to the new Dual Density Torsion Control, Lamkin grips provide the right feel for any player. The Crossline series, for example, features a distinctive pattern designed to increase hand traction while the latest grip for 2006, the Dual Density Torsion Control, offers a softer, tacky surface layer and innovative stabilizing bars that reduce torque and increase club control.
