Lamkin has had grip on golf for 85 years

They are as unglamorous as they are useful.

Like tires on a car, golf grips mean everything to performance. They are a player’s connection to the instrument of the sport. Without them, it’s like riding on the rims.

Yet a golfer might spend a thousand dollars on a set of clubs and years down the line let the grips wear to a shiny baldness.

“Golf grips have been an afterthought or far too long,” said Bob Lamkin, who could be counted as an authority of the subject.

The name might ring a bell. Lamkin is the third-generation CEO of Lamkin Corporation, which has been producing only golf grips for 85 years, longer than anybody.

Lamkin makes more than 20 million grips per year at its plants in Tijuana and China, and San Diego has been home to the corporate office since the Lamkins moved the operations from Chicago in 1986.

Bob Lamkin is passionate about grips, and he thinks more golfers should be. It’s more likely that a player will replace an entire set of clubs before he gets around to replacing the grips.

“Grips don’t get the attention or credibility that they should,” he said. “From a performance characteristic…

Lamkin I6gen Grips Review

You may think one golf grip is much the same as another but Lamkin disagree and have instead released a new grip specifically designed for the changeable European climate.

The new i6 3GEN features two distinct surface patterns to offer more grip on the underside and a softer, tackier feel on the topside. But can a grip really make that
much of a difference? I’m very particular about the grips I use on my clubs and a regular change can have a massive effect on the feel.

The i6 3GEN are undoubtedly tackier and softer than my old grips and this instantly felt better. I also like its consistency of feel from top to bottom rather than using different materials.

And although they are available in black I loved the colour they injected into my bag with the mix of blue, orange, white and red.
