Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: Lamkin Grips

I would test either or......IDC as either one looks awesome. If I had to choose it would be the Sonar black midsize, but if you need other testers for the green and blue....im in!!!

Unfortunately learned on reminder grips and need the rib mentally!  Enjoy and good luck testers!

Been a cord grip user for 30+ yrs.  I do not wear a glove and play in the Texas heat. This will be a terrific test for both the feel and moisture management in the heat of the day.  UTx might be the answer.   

Have UTX grey on my irons and hybrids  -   they've got about 100 rounds on them maybe more and still perform great -  that said  i would like to update.     The Sonar has intrigued me  -  i have Winn Drytac on my driver and fairway woods now

thanks for doing this test

Awesome! Good luck everyone! I'm really interested in the Sonar+ Midsize/Oversize, they look really nice.

The UTX Green give's me Tony Finau Vibes. They are sweet looking! Good luck to everyone who signs up!

Good timing. Need to replace my grips good. Currently use Golf Pride. Would love to give these a try.

Been using Lamkin grips for at least 20 years, currently using Crossline, really like them. Thanks for the contest opportunity

Just installed the Lamkin Sonar + Wrap Calibrate on my wedge.  Really like the more subtle spine on the back of the grip, less obvious than GolfPride Align, also its super tacky.

Need to get new grips soon anyways. Would be awesome to test them too!

I have had my eye on the Sonar + just recently. Saw them in a PGA Superstore and really liked the look and feel of them. Having played for over 52 years, it’s pretty safe to say I’ve tried my share of grips. I am currently gaming the Golf Pride CP-2 in the oversized or Jumbo size and have used them for the last 3 years. But I am always looking for a change if it will help. I have used Lamkins for many years before I switched to GP’s, and I would love to give them another chance.

My favorite golf grip is Lamkin.

Since I switched over to using air to install/remove grips, have not been keeping up with all the new style and material in recent years.

Love to check out the new products.  I can also switch the grips to several different golfers in my family for testing.

Good luck everyone!! I would love to do this test unfortunately I am out on this one. I just recently gripped my clubs. 

Love my Lamkin grip on my Mizuno putter. I have a set of PXG's and the grips they came with are terrible. The clubs are great but probably the worst grips I have ever had. Lamkin is definitely the go to brand for grips!

Since I'm in the Cobra Challenge I have all new grips. These look very good. Good luck to all that apply.  

Grips play a significant role in my game. I have been using JumboMax on my woods and rescue clubs and Golf Pride CP2 Jumbo on my irons. Would love to try the Sonar+ Blacks

All are highly intriguing!  Was just researching for next grips.

Hi have been using Lamkin Sonar for the past few years. I had the sonar+. They lasted a long time and resulted in me not changing grips for 2+ years. I upgraded my driver and wedges and they came with tour velvet grips. These new grips did not last very long before becoming too slick. Also, the wedge grips all split a bit from going in and out of my bag. When I regripped I noticed the installation on the wedges had no double sided tape the last 1-2 inched on all of them. Probably why they split.

This spring I changed to sonar+wrap and have played 10 rounds with them and really like them. I signed up to test the sonar+black as it would be interesting to see the difference. Likely will stay with the wraps as they are really nice for me.

Great job by Lamkin designing these.

I use the grey Utx cord on my FWs. I think I will add the blue and green ones in the future.

Well.. YES I would like to try the Lamkin UTX Blue or Green grips!

I have been a long time GolfPride full cord grips for many years. I use a .600 round core grip.

Thank You for the opportunity to be a tester!

 

I've been an avid Lamkin grip player for over 20 years. Presently I'm using the the Crossline 360 grips and I'd love to give the Sonar + Black a try. I've trusted the feel and comfort of the Lamkin grips for so long it's like a form of skin to me. Let me evaluate these gems and I'll provide the feedback you want. Thanks. 

Just upgraded my 10 year old clubs for some Ping G430 irons. Would be great to test these grips out on those. 

Blue is my favorite color

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!

 

 

 

I've been using the Golf Pride Tour Wrap over 10 years. I have always enjoyed the tack feel. Very interesting concept with the cord grip but a tack feel. Would be happy to test either one of these grips. Thanks Lamkin! 

Would be very excited to test the corded UTX model.  Playing in the desert year-round, the heat and humidity chews up rubber grips.  Consequently, re-gripping is a twice a year ritual for me…
