SAN DIEGO — As golfers around the globe turn their attention to the game’s most venerable major championship — the British Open — high-performance Lamkin grips are the clear favorite among the best players in Europe and the world. According to the World Golf Ranking on 17 July 2006, three of the world’s Top Five ranked golfers play grips manufactured by Lamkin, and the Lamkin Crossline grip is played by the current leader on the European Order of Merit.

“There are three simple reasons why Lamkin is the preferred choice of pro tour players around the world — stability, comfort and traction,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Grips. “When crafted with superior engineering and award-winning innovation, these characteristics in a Lamkin golf grip produce greater player confidence and performance. “As America’s oldest grip manufacturer, we’ve spent more than 80 years providing golfers with the finest premium quality grips in the industry and we are very proud that our grips have earned us the respect and trust of pros around the world.”

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.

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.
