SAN DIEGO, CA, July 13, 2017- Lamkin Corporation – the original manufacturer of premium golf grips – reports in extensive testing, the Science & Motion SAM PuttLab, the world’s leading putting analysis system, determined FLAT CAT Solution was the only weighting option that visibly, significantly, and dramatically smoothed and improved the strokes of golfers suffering with the yips instantly.
The FLAT CAT Solution by Lamkin features a unique shape and weighted stainless steel cone technology positioned optimally below the hands to help eliminate the “yips” and smooth out the stroke, allowing golfers at any skill level to improve their putting. This technology creates a smoother, more consistent, pendulum-like stroke and allows the putter to feel heavier and more stable without sacrificing feel.
Steve Johnson, Golf Instructor and Managing Partner at Hank Haney Golf led the testing of the FLAT CAT Solution with SAM PuttLab. According to Johnson, “The weighted FLAT CAT Solution putter grip eliminated or significantly reduced the adverse effects of negative clubface rotation during the putting stroke of yippers. In addition to reversing the negative club face rotation in the forward stoke of chronic yippers, the weighted grip smoothed out the positive face rotation similar to what we see with high level putters on the PGA Tour.”
“We have reams and reams of numbers from the SAM PuttLab system that confirm that the FLAT CAT Solution technology helps golfers who have a yip in their putting stroke,” said Bob Lamkin, President and CEO of Lamkin. “Having this data allows us to provide solid proof that the FLAT CAT Solution is far more than just a grip, it is a putting solution that makes an immediate difference. Using the weighted technology has definitely helped me enjoy the game more by increasing my confidence on the putting green and helping me make more putts.”
The FLAT CAT Solution is designed with FLAT CAT’s patented FLAT 1™ grip technology that squares the hands and arms to the putter face to ensure a square face at impact. The design of the FLAT CAT Solution allows every golfer to establish a personal feel with the face of their putter no matter what their putting style – traditional, left-hand low, saw, claw and more.
The FLAT CAT technology was developed in consultation with PGA Professional Mike Heisterkamp and longtime Whistling Straits and Pinehurst professional caddy Charlie Spain.
