Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: Lamkin Grips

Big thanks to Lamkin for this test!  I've been a Lamkin user going back 7-8 years now since I was first real iron fitting.  I started with the Crossline grips thinking they were just a cheap and easy option and I fell in love with the feel they provided.  Used them through 2-3 grip changes and had an opportunity to try the OG SONAR+ and SONAR+ Wrap curing the Cobra Connect Challenge.  I've been a SONAR+ user since then and will likely make a swap over on the Edel Irons soon! 

I am intrigued by this latest UTX Blue and Green model too, so I might have to go out and get a grip or two to try them.  But the SONAR+ Black looks like it will be an absolute hit for those that didn't care for the blue on the OG model because it is a fantastic grip.  

So who wants to get some fresh grips for the rest of the year?  Come on now... we all know you're overdue to change them, might as well see if these Lamkin's work as well for you as they have for me!

 

 

 

Would love me some UTX grips

The Sonar+ black interests me. Love the black/blue. 

Would love to test the Sonar + black   Been using Lamkin grips over the last couple of years replacing Winn

My favorite grips. Good luck applicants

I've always been a GolfPride guy but looking forward to the results of this test! Those are some good lookin grips

Played the UTX in the past on my older clubs, and will attest that they truly are a great grip option.

Best of luck to all those who apply.

I would be interested in testing Lamkin grips.  I am 77 and play once or twice per week.  

Love the opportunity to give them a test!

I have been a golf pride guy for many years and I would bvery much appreciate trying something new to see the difference if any . I play 5-6 times a week, 74 years old and once upon a time PGA member. JJ

I am a huge Lamkin fan and currently use the Sonar Tour.  I would love to try the new Sonar + Black.

I love lamkin grips. I’ve been thinking of moving on from my old fav, the cross line, which ive used for 20 yrs. Hands aren’t getting younger. Please sign me up as a tester

Excellent opportunity here, the UTX is probably my favorite grip. Perfect combination of tackiness and comfort. Good luck to everyone who enters their name in!

Just learned how to replace grips properly a few weeks ago with my Uncle and his clubs, maybe I'll be able to do it on my own clubs now. 

Had I not just re-gripped my clubs the other day, I would have loved to try these out.  Thanks to the folks at Lamkin for the test opportunity .  Good luck everyone.

Have had sonar mid grips for last two years. Still going strong. Love lamkin grips. Good luck everyone who applies

 Would love to test the oversize black and blue sonar grips. I am having problems finding  grips that will work due to me losing the tips of my fingers on left hand. Really need to get some very soon.  Hope I can get this chance.  

Switched to Lamkin last year and I love the Cross line 360. Would love to try out some of there other grips. 

Been playing the UTX blues on all of my wedges for the last two years. Love them, love the feel, and are still going strong!

Highly recommend people sign up that haven't tried them out or need clubs regripped already

I've always used Golf Pride's, but those Sonar's look pretty nice. I would love a chance to test them out.

I took a lesson at the Leadbetter Academy back in 1995-ish, and was told by Lead's club-fitter that my grips didn't fit my hands properly.  I have always worn a Men's ML Cadet glove - wide palms, shorter fingers.

The fitter took my #7 iron and re-gripped it with a .600 round grip and staggered 5 extra layers under the right hand part of the grip only.  It felt great.  

For the past 28 years, I've been using a variation of the extra right hand build up on my grips.  Lately, I have been using Lamkin "+" grips and enjoy their "less-taper" style very much.

I hope someone has studied the evolution of the grip since the old Scottish days to see why taper was always used.  I think tapered grips caused millions of golfers to learn a bad grip and suffer from slicing.

Anyway, thanks to Lamkin for providing a less-tapered grip!

 

This is a great testing opportunity and best of luck to all who apply! I will be passing on this one, as I just re-gripped the entire bag sans putter last week and I am finally satisfied with my selections. However, next season when I am ready to blow it all up and start over, I will definitely give the UTX green a try, as they look stunning!

Can't wait to test them on the clubs !! They look good.

UTX green/blue look awesome!
