A vital component of any golfer’s pre-shot routine is gripping the club properly before every shot. For some players, that’s not as easy as it sounds, but Lamkin’s newest grips can make it a lot easier.
Several of Lamkin’s newest offerings include a feature called Calibrate, which looks like a series of bright yellow stitches running the length of each grip. In reality it is a reminder ridge, and it can give players reference locations in their hands and make it easier to establish the same grip before every shot.
The USGA and R&A have strict rules about reminder ridges in grip, but while the Calibrate ridge is easy to feel when you hold a club, it is legal for play.
Lamkin is offering Calibrate in the Sonar+ Tour ($9.49 each), a grip that features the company’s Fingerprint Technology, which is a highly detailed micro-texture designed to enhance feel and touch while maintaining traction.
The company also offers the Sonar+ Wrap Calibrate ($8.49 each), which it said is the first wrap-style grip designed with a reminder.
Finally, Calibrate also was added to a version of the ST+2 Hybrid ($10.99 each), a grip that has Fingerprint Technology and two distinct zones. The upper portion is infused with cord to enhance traction in the top hand, while the lower half of the grip has a tacky feel for improved feel. The lower portion of the midsized grip is thicker than normal to replicate the feeling of having two wraps of tape under the golfer’s bottom hand, which is popular among tour pros.
