Cut +2 Low Am - Christo Lamprecht (a) -
I play the majority of my rounds with the left dash. I would say compared to the XV it should spin a little less off the driver and launch higher on irons. I find the spin to be comparable on pitch shots and chips with both. I do not mind a firm ball at all, so I am not sensitive to it. I think for me it helps me not zip balls off greens with my scoring irons because I am a high spin player. I find the ball to just hit and basically stop instead of zipping back.

My go to after trying so many putters over the years from Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and 2.5, Phantom lines, Ping Tyne PLD, Mezz Max, Bettinardi blades and Mallet, Miura, Spider, I found I putt best with a plumbers neck with no sight line paint fill. So I went with a Lajosi DD201 customized and it is the longest I have ever owned a putter.

Lamkin UTX Grips - 2023 Forum Review

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Bummer the Lamkin grips didn’t work because the actual ACE rubber is very soft and makes a corded grip very comfortable for me. -

Another wet round this week with the grips and still even after over a month of play, same performance with the grips being able to stay “grippy” despite the poor conditions. Let us testers know if there are any questions or pictures you’d like us to take of the grips -

Yeah I am glad you got the replacement grips but I am sure it is a disappointment they fray on you. What other grips do you try and maybe do not have the fraying issue? -

I did not notice fraying. That may be a grip defect? Potentially worth an email to Lamkin. My Driver grip had a little bit of wear on it, but not like those two pictures. -

Completely agree. I was at first worried that I was going to ruin my round on No 2 but the grips stood the test and they definitely were wet wet at points in the round so I am impressed to say the least. -

Pinehurst has been adventurous for sure. My Dad and I played No 4 first, then No 1. The 2nd day we did the Cradle and then No 2. On No 2 we got caught in a pretty bad lightning/rain storm. It was a definite test of the grips as all my gloves were wet from being on the outside of my bag and I played the last 16 holes with no glove and wet grips. Surprisingly on drives and longer iron/hybrid shots, my hands did not slip. The grips for being soaked at one point ended up drying relatively quickly and by around hole 12 I would say the grips were fully dry. Here’s a few pics of the grips on course No 2 and 4 as well as a quick video of a 305 yard drive on 18 on Course 1 and a video of how wet it was out on course No 2 . IMG_8656.mov IMG_8646.mov -

The green looks great on a Ventus Black shaft. Looks okay on the Ventus Blue shaft. Here is a picture from today on my Ventus Black shaft. -

I’ll send you a message. I am headed to Pinehurst this weekend so I will probably not play Berk until the week of the 21st but we should for sure link up
