Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: Lamkin Grips

Was just at golf galaxy the other day looking at the blue UTX grips, seem like a really solid option. Will be excited to see the testers reviews on this one!

The green ones look great… don’t really match my clubs but I’m still tempted to try a few. The Sonar + Black will likely win out for me though. 

Cant wait to read these reviews. I've been contemplating new grips just to get the whole bag the same but can't decide what to do. 

I love adding some color to my bag and the grips are a prime option. The green looks great but still a nice blue!

I've never tried anything other than a golf pride grip. I'm looking forward to trying these. 

I have been so interested in the UTX line. I do all my own builds and occasionally do some costom work for friends and family and I honestly finds grips to be the toughest decision to pull the trigger on. They can be so expensive and only have a limited life-span with the amount I play. 

I have always loved the idea of corded grips, but havent been able to convert back to them since I was a kid. with the humid and new england summers they really are prob the best performance option for me, but I have a hard time transitioning from tour velvets or crossline styles.

These UTX green also happen to be the perfect color for my set of gamers that I just finished building but I am dieing to get the MCC grips that were already on the shafts off, my all time least favorite grip lol

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

 

Gotta ask, because I don't see it specified... If selected, how many? Is the testing expectation to do a full set, or just a few clubs? I'm intrigued, but not sure if I should even try to sign up -- definitely don't want to swap out my wedge grips, and would prefer to just do long game (for me, 3-5 grips). If it's full set, I'll hold back.

I am all about the green ones or the blue. Will match the Notre Dame head covers. 

Tried Lamkin grip many years ago and they wore out considerably faster than the Golf Pride Grips that I had been using at that time.  I am now still using the Golf Pride but they are mid size New Decade grips.  I would like to try the Lamkin and compare them against Golf Pride.

UTX looks intriguing, love having more corded options... for me the Crossline cord is the goat, at least until Golf Pride decides to re-release the arrow cord grips!

It’s a set, not sure if that’s 13 or like 7-8 for irons… I’ll find out!

I would love to test these out, I have always played Golf Pride Tour Wrap but I think it would be interesting to try something new. 

Been wanting to see how the Sonars compare against the Golf Pride CPX grips for that soft but functional grip category so very interested to see how this one plays out! 

Big fan of Lamkin grips, especially the UTX.  They provide great tack and grip, and a secure hold on the club for people (like me) with sweaty mitts.  Somehow Lamkin figured out how to make a cord grip that feels like one but doesn't chew thru gloves like a dog with a piece of rawhide.  Being Irish, I like the look of that Green one 

Have been trying to become a tester for awhile now. I have never been selected. I’m not sure if there is something specific I need to do or what. I like lamkin grips and have played them often. I would love to get to rest the black grips. Thanks for any advice on getting selected. My conditions are usually very dry so I haven’t needed corded grips which is why I have liked the lamkin wraps in the past. 

I am interested in trying the Sonar+ Black midsize grips.

Right now I'm trying to decide on what to replace the old Z5 hybrid grips on my irons -- UTX are a candidate.  Long time Lamkin user.  Already have a couple of Sonar+ blacks in use.  Will regrip them myself.  What's the count?  (too bad there are no ST+2's to test)

Interested in the Sonar+Black grips. I am looking at Winn grips now and these look pretty similar to what I am leaning to, as I will be replacing soon.  Good Luck to all that get selected, and look forward to reading your results.

Hit em long and straight !

Utx looks super appealing 

Been a Lamkin user for as long as I can remember but want to try the new UTX prior to purchasing new grips and golf pride has good options too 

I've been using the Lamkin crossline grips for a few years now, absolutely love them. The sonar grips would be great to test.

Just put on brand new Lamkin grips on all of my clubs about a month ago. Great quality at a great price!

This thread is the best place to start. Welcome to the forum.

What great timing. Just last weekend I realized that my grips seem to have started to wear down at an accelerated pace. I was hoping to make it to the off-season but would gladly do it sooner. I had been slowly converting to Lamkin Crossline as needed but am absolutely willing to try other models.

If I used a glove on my irons the Sonar would be really interesting to test but the UTX blue looks really sweet. Glad to see some technological steps being made in the grip market!
