Lamkin Grips Dominate Mizuno Classic

(November 8th 2005) SAN DIEGO, Calf. — Lamkin grips provided unparalleled performance, reliability and comfort at the Mizuno Classic and dominated the top money, winning first- and second-place as well as an additional Top 10. Playing Lamkin Crossline grips, this year’s Swedish-born champion crossed another tour milestone as she won the LPGA event for the fifth year in a row.

In addition to the win, Lamkin grips delivered successful performances on the PGA TOUR and garnered four more Top 10 finishes at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic and THE TOUR Championship.

“We are very happy to have Lamkin grips played by professional golfers that share the same commitment to quality and performance for the sport as we do,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “Tour winners play Lamkin grips really for one reason — they provide the level of stability, traction and comfort that leads to greater performance. We employ the latest technical advances to produce the most innovative grips in the industry, and our continued success on pro tours around the world is a great example of why Lamkin remains the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major club manufacturer in golf today.”

Designed to reduce torque and increase hand traction with a distinctly soft feel, the Crossline is available in a variety of models, including lite, full cord, mid-size, logo-down, ladies and junior. The newest model, the Dual Density Crossline features an outer layer of soft material with the renowned Crossline pattern and a firm underlisting that enhances stability and reduces torques for consistent hand pressure throughout the swing.

Well-known for its award-wining innovation, Lamkin researches and develops its own proprietary composite materials to ensure that each grip performs to exact specifications. The choice of professional clubmakers, pros and amateurs alike, Lamkin grips have been setting the standards in golf club grips for more than 80 years.
