Program Offers Free Grips to All Golfers in USA
(SAN DIEGO, Ca.) – With golf back open for play in all 50 states, almost all golf retail locations now welcoming golfers through their doors and 96% of core golfers planning to play as much or more often than normal do (source: NGF) Lamkin – leading manufacturer of premium golf grips – announces its “Upgrade with Lamkin” program (www.lamkingrips.com/upgrade) is now live at all 74 Club Champion locations throughout the United States.
“Lamkin is excited to partner with Club Champion and provide golfers the opportunity to get their hands on a Lamkin grip that best fits their game,” says Bob Lamkin, CEO of Lamkin. “As a leading club fitter in the industry, Club Champion is well-positioned to educate golfers on the importance a new grip can have on performance.”
The “Upgrade with Lamkin” program (also known as Regrip America to retailers) was announced in January and launched mid-February. Club Champion, joining other popular retailers participating in the program, distinguishes itself by being a Certified Fitting Specialist and carrying one of the broadest assortment of Lamkin grips and latest innovations. The experience to redeem a voucher for a free grip and installation is quick and easy, with just three steps:
- Using the Lamkin Grip Selector (lamkingrips.com/grip-selector) golfers select their preferences among five variables (weather conditions, swing speed, preference for feel, tack and traction) and the Lamkin AI algorithm suggests three grips players should consider
- A voucher, which lists the closest Club Champion location or the nearest participating retailer to a golfer’s location, is then emailed to the customer, allowing for one FREE GRIP & FREE INSTALL, plus one additional free grip if installing eight or more grips
- Golfers take the voucher to participating locations to redeem for a free grip and free install and #FeelAllTheFeels of Lamkin’s newest innovations
Noteworthy among the models available through “Upgrade with Lamkin” are the newest 2020 additions including the ST+2 Hybrid and Calibrate Technology grips. The ST (Smooth Tack) features Lamkin’s latest formulation of the company’s Genesis Material to create a smooth, comfortable surface far more durable than standard rubber while maintaining its characteristics in any temperature. Calibrate Technology, the preference of Lamkin ambassador Troy Mullins, creates the most prominent reminder spine of any grip ever produced by Lamkin to help optimize hand placement, club face awareness, control, and feel for better shot-making.
“Our customers have been getting out there and playing, some more than ever,” said Nick Sherburne, founder of Club Champion. “Regripping is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve your game. The ‘Upgrade with Lamkin’ program is a great way to engage golfers and help them play their best with better equipment.”
