SAN DIEGO — Lamkin grips provided tour-winning traction to overcome rain-soaked conditions and win the 2006 SAS Championship, the largest, non-Major purse on the Champions Tour.
After a weekend of rainfall, course conditions at the Prestonwood Country Club forced the cancellation of the final round, but the soggy play never hampered the 10-under-par performance by this year’s champion who trusted Lamkin Tour Black Full Cord grips for superior stability, comfort and stability.
"Lamkin grips have always enjoyed solid success on the Champions Tour, and we’re particularly pleased with the stability and traction provided by our Tour Black Full Cord model," says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. "The Lamkin Tour Black Full Cord has performed exceptionally well in all playing conditions, and we congratulate this week’s winner of the SAS Championship on an outstanding performance."
A longtime favorite among professional players, the Tour Black series features a softer rubber compound and unique cord buffing process that combine to provide a much less abrasive feel than traditional cord grips. Yet, the Tour Black still delivers the full cord functionality cord players require. Another extremely popular grip among tour pros is Lamkin Crossline series, which is celebrating 10 years of tour success this coming year. The Crossline grip features a proprietary M2 rubber compound that adds tack and durability while the distinctive patterns increase hand-traction and reduces torque for ultimate performance. In the Crossline cord models, soft cord fabric is strategically positioned throughout the grip, adding maximum traction for all-weather conditions.
