Golf Pride CPX grips

Thanks to ultra-soft rubber and a diamond-quilted pattern, the Golf Pride CPX delivers comfort cushioning, and control.

Gear: Golf Pride CPX grips
Price: $9.49 (Undersized and Standard), $9.99 (Midsize) and $10.49 (Jumbo)
Who It’s For: Golfers who want a softer feeling, more-cushioned grip that still provides traction.
The Skinny: The new CPX is the softest performance grip Golf Pride has ever made, and with a new raised traction pattern, it provides excellent traction too.
The Deep Dive: Golf Pride makes some of the most popular grips used by elite players, including the Tour Velvet and the New Decade Multicompound (MCC), and they each deliver what better players tend to want in a grip, which is a firm feel and high traction. On any given week, it’s not surprising to see eight or nine of the top 10 players on a PGA Tour leaderboard using either of those grips, or Golf Pride’s Z grip.

The company’s latest offering, however, is different. The CPX grip is designed to feel soft and cushioned instead of firm.

The letters CPX stand for comfort performance extreme, and this grip can help to absorb vibrations created at impact for recreational players and pros alike. Made using very soft rubber, the CPX delivers its cushioned feel with traction thanks to a new pattern that has been strategically designed into several areas. Raised diamond-shaped pieces, which Golf Pride refers to as the EXO Diamond-Quilted pattern, protrude upward in the CPX, creating scores or places where your hands make contact with the grip. This makes it easier for your gloved hand and your non-gloved hand, to maintain a hold of the grip without increasing pressure, which can inhibit your flexibility and performance.

The new CPX grip is available in four sizes ranging from undersized for people with hands that measure between 5″ and 6.5″ in length from the tip of the middle finger to the crease in the wrist to standard size (6.6″ – 7.5″), midsize (7.6″ – 9″), and jumbo grips (> 9″).

Lamkin adds Calibrate reminder rib to 2020 grips

Several of Lamkin’s popular grips are now available with a reminder ridge to help golfers find and maintain their grip more easily.

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.
