Grips 2018: Lamkin TS1, Comfort Plus and Sonar

With three new lines — Lamkin TS1, Comfort Plus and Sonar — the longtime leading grip company offer unique performance characteristics appealing to a wide range of players and reinforcing their promise to deliver a perfect grip for every golfer.

TS1 is a distinctive high-performance grip that delivers exceptional feel and performance. Made with new proprietary hybrid materials that are slightly softer than traditional rubbers, the TS1 is durable while micro-textures and surface patterns optimize torsional stability and grip control. Dual compound construction combines with a reduced taper profile and a slightly larger lower hand to enhance grip confidence and promote a light-pressure grip for greater consistency and control.

With a reduced-taper, straighter profile, Comfort PLUS encourages an ideal light-pressure grip that enables golfers to fully benefit from the swing benefits of this softer, more comfortable grip. “And it has microtexturing, a shallow pattern so you get some traction.”

Finally there’s Sonar, an exceptionally durable, highly comfortable performance grip thatperfectly bridges the gap between TS1 and Comfort PLUS.

Of course, Lamkin still has the full complement of classic grips, including a full cord grip with a really fine pattern, with cotton in the grip itself that’s soft as well. It has an alignment and hand positioning feature, and the Z5, which Kauffman calls “pretty straightforward with a traditional taper and a design that allows you to easily line up your hands, a smoother pattern overall.” All grips perform well in wet weather.

“We know the market has a lot of different segments — players who want soft grips, those who want harder and more traction, and those who want something in the middle,” Kauffman concluded. “Across the line we’re always looking to get players to have a lighter grip pressure, which reduces tension and leads to more consistency.”

CHAMP C1 PUTTER GRIP

Champ’s new C1 putter grip is made from a soft, lightweight and great feeling polyurethane material offered in medium and large sizes to meet the market’s demand for thicker and more stable putter grips. By incorporating a familiar paddle design with an updated reminder-notch pattern, the C1 virtually eliminates wrist break-down for a more repetitive and consistent stroke. The grip has two bold digi-camo color options, Old Glory and Rainforest. $15.99/$17.99 | champgrips.com

LAMKIN

Fueled by an exclusive Double Helix surface texture, Lamkin’s new Wrap-Tech grip delivers the perfect balance of comfort, control and feel. The traditional wrap-style features a unique dual pattern design that provides enhanced control and slip-resistance. Made with patented ACE material, Wrap-Tech is extraordinarily tacky and shock absorbing, making it perfect for all climates and conditions. Available in standard, midsize or oversize options, the grips showcase a black base color with white, red or blue detailing. Miguel Angel Jimenez, the Most Interesting Man in Golf, keeps making aces with these grips, so why not you? But that’s not all from Lamkin — they’ve also introduced the SINK putter grip, designed with innovative shapes, a proprietary lightweight rubber compound, and functional surface textures to promote greater accuracy, consistency and confidence. SINK models come in two distinct shapes, both of which include a curved-handle profile designed to encourage proper wrist alignment for a more fluid putting stroke. Both SINK shapes are available in 11 and 13 inch lengths. The rounded grip, offered in a blue-green color scheme, features a wider, straighter profile ideal for minimizing excessive hand action and creating a smoother, pendulum-like putting stroke. The squared grip, with orange and yellow accents, is ideal for feel-based putters and features a thinner shape with more pronounced corners. The result is a unique putter grip that offers exceptional feedback and putting control. $4.99 for Wrap-Tech; SINK from $12.99 | lamkingrips.com

GOLF PRIDE

Golf Pride is the most-installed grip in the world by far, and now they’re making a huge move in the oversized putter category with the new Tour SNSR. The new grips feature larger Tour-proven shapes engineered with innovative SNSR material that delivers unsurpassed Tour-level feel and feedback. The features a soft-tuned rubber formulation that gives these grips an extraordinary feel, and encourages a lighter grip pressure that golfers seek in creating a smooth stroke. Players can dial in the feel that fits them best with two Tour proven shapes, the Tour SNSR Contour and the TOUR SNSR Straight. The Contour is an evolution of the classic tapered pistol profile that is the shape preference of over 75 percent of Tour players, allowing golfers to “lock in” their upper hand for consistent hand placement that translates to more confidence in every stroke. Golf Tips testers loved the palm-cradling feel of it right away. The Straight offers a contemporary, non-taper shape promoting a consistent hand pressure and feel; its taper design features soft, rounded edges that are strategically beveled for palm and finger pad comfort. All four Tour SNSR models feature a wide paddle front, sculpted to promote lighter grip pressure and consistent hand placement, and each is finished with a traction-textured design that provides heightened feel and moisture control. They come in two oversize options, 104cc and 140cc. $24.99 | golfpride.com

SUPERSTROKE/JUMBOMAX

SUPERSTROKE GRIPS

This relatively new company — a pioneer in the oversized grip category — has already racked up its share of majors thanks to adherents like Jordan Spieth and Jason Dufer. Sergio is another guy who loves the secure palm-meets-fingers feel of SuperStroke. And with their newest “No Taper” model, dialing in that all-important equal pressure between the hands is even easier. They’re not tapered like conventional putter grips and lead to a more stable, repeatable and reliable stroke. Another innovation is the company’s “CounterCore” technology, allowing players to add 50 g to the weight of their putter at the top of the grip to increase stability and reduce face angle rotation. You can employ it on any model including the Pistol GT, Legacy and Flatso. And, yes, now offers grips for other clubs, too — the S Tech and TX1 Tour Extreme. $19.99-$34.99 | superstrokeusa.com

JUMBOMAX GRIPS

Another growing entry in the oversized putting grip field, JumboMax helped Bryson DeChambeau win both the 2015 NCAA Individual Men’s Championship and the U.S. Amateur — only the fifth time in history that one man has won both in the same year. The other four? Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Ryan Moore. Now DeChambeau is primed to make noise on the pro circuit, too, armed wilth his favorite JumboMax grips through the bag, including the brand new Tour Series club grips. All are USGA conforming and simply fit your hands more securely thanks to a patented “Finger-Palm” design, leading to better ballstriking, accuracy and distance. It’s all about balanced energy and eliminating one hand taking over the other at the instant of impact. $10.99-$14.99 | jumbomax.com

P2

P2 PUTTER GRIP

What sets most Tour pros apart from the rest of us in the putting department? Their ability to maintain an upright and straight hand position throughout the stroke. From the down-the-line view, that means they keep the putter grip and shaft in “flush” line with the forearms, which in turn keeps their hands square to the face and leads to a slew of buried 10-footers. The new series of P2 putter grips from Pro Impact Golf puts this crucial power literally in the palm of anybody’s hands, thanks to a proprietary design of two facing flat sides that fill out both facing palms and virtually eliminate the ability to twist the club at any point in the stroke. The P2 comes in four configurations and sizes — two with U-shaped undersides and a narrower profile, two more V-shaped with a wider look. All have a soft, no-slip rubber finish to facilitate light pressure and ultimate feel. Then it comes down to your hand size and personal preference. Whether you’re traditional or left-hand-low, they work equally well. $29.95 | proimpactgolf.com

All new models — standard, midsize and jumbo — come in a unique tone-on-tone color look with an enhanced hexagon pattern, which provides great feel and slip-resistance, promoting light grip pressure.

2014 Buyer’s Guide Grips

WEAK	STANDARD	BEAST MODE
By Doug Hammer, PGA
Despite what you may think, sometimes it’s okay to have a weak grip. By weak, I mean a grip that promotes less hinge through the downswing and unfolds sooner, helping you hit higher (albeit shorter) shots. Typically, a weak grip (by the way, weak doesn’t mean you hold the club lightly) isn’t the best choice come time to nuke out some extra distance, but a weak grip can help you if you tend to hook the ball too much. If that’s you and you fight the left, grip the handle with only one gloved knuckle showing and your ungloved thumb on top of the grip. You’ll stop hooking in a hurry.	The standard grip allows for more clubface rotation and a bigger hinge, helping you not only close the face through impact, but hit longer tee shots, too. It’s the ideal grip for most of your shots around the course, and with the driver when you want the most control. The standard grip has a gloved hand that shows two knuckles (from the golfer’s view) and an ungloved hand that has a V formed by the thumb and index finger. That V then points at your right shoulder. Use this grip as an all-purpose grip that lends the best blend of distance and control.	The beast mode grip is what you’ll need to squeeze out some extra yards on your next tee shot. With this grip, three to four knuckles are shown on the gloved hand, and the V formed by the index finger and thumb of the ungloved hand points well to the right of the right shoulder. When using this grip, you’re allowing for a big hinge of the wrists and maximum lag; however, it’s critical that you match this grip with a big, powerful swing. Otherwise, you’ll likely hook the ball.

If you’re ready to go low, make sure you take care of your grips! We recommend at least one new set of grips every year, and if you play a lot, maybe switch ’em up in the middle of the season, as well. The grip is your only physical connection to the golf club and the ball, meaning whatever momentum you create with your body, its only way to the ball is through the grip. So be sure you not only have a grip that’s tacky and fits your preference, be sure and get the right size for you. Grips that are too small can lead to too much hand action and more pulls and hooks. Too big? You might slice more. Check out our top grip picks this year, and keep those grips fresh and new!

THERE’S ONLY ONE GOOD GOLF GRIP
By Dan Martin, PGA

The Fault: Many people believe that there’s only one way to grip a golf club, and that the process of gripping the club is unnatural. While it’s definitely true that your golf grip will influence your long-term success, there are several styles that are effective in gripping the club–the overlap, the interlock and the baseball grips.

The Fix: Try this natural grip exercise. Simply get yourself into an athletic position and allow your arms to hang in front of you with zero tension. Notice how your palms face inward. Your golf grip is based off this position. From there, move your hands closer to one another so they hold the club naturally. The natural position works with any grip style, be it interlocking, overlapping or baseball. The key, no matter what particular style you use, is for the grip to rest mostly in the fingers with a comfortable grip pressure. Stick with what comes naturally first, then make adjustments if needed.

Grips are officially cool. Once a category that didn’t get the credit it deserved, now it seems more golfers are finally paying attention to how important new grips are to their golf games. Again, this year has a slew of new offerings, including a variety of new styles, colors, shapes and materials to choose from.

CLAP YOUR HANDS
By Zachary Allen, PGA

One of my favorite drills for perfecting the impact position is to do what I call the “clap your hands” drill. What this drill does is help you get a sense of what it means to stack your left side at impact and make solid contact into the golf ball.

To get started, address the ball as you normally would, only don’t use a club this time. From here, go ahead and simulate a big backswing, but when you do it, keep your left arm in the same position from start to finish, which ought to be pointing at the golf ball.

Finish the simulated backswing, then on the forwardswing, let your right arm come down and through and actually clap your left hand. When this happens, your body should be situ-ated just as mine is in the photo, with your left arm stacked over your left leg, the hips open and the shoulders square to the target.

If you practice this drill often enough, you’ll not only ingrain the proper impact sensation, but also prevent your shoulders from spinning out of position and taking your eyes off the strike with the ball.

What’s the most overlooked component of your clubs? Easy: the grips. It shouldn’t be, since the grip is the only connection you make with the club, so making sure you have the right grips for your clubs is even more important. This year, pay attention to not only the new colors and styles, but also the types of grips, textures, compounds and thicknesses available.

Avon Pro D2x
www.avongrips.com

Avon Pro D2x Most golf instructors believe the upper hand should dominate the golf swing, and the lower hand is essentially just hanging on for the ride. So does Avon, which designed its new Pro D2x to lend firm support on the top region of the grip, while lending a soft grip for the lower hand to prevent it from interfering too much with the swing. Ridges and channels make the Pro D2x a solid all-weather option, and the oversize model is great for those who require a more secure grip.
What We Like: The upper region is available with or without cords to accommodate just about everyone.

Golf Pride Dual Durometer
www.golfpride.com

Golf Pride Durometer Golf Pride’s Dual Durometer has been one of the most popular over the last two seasons, thanks to its ingenious designs and cord and non-cord models with the velvety feel. But golfers aren’t the only ones taking notice. The Arthritis Foundation has bestowed upon the Dual Durometer grips (along with Golf Pride’s Whisper models) their Ease of Use commendation for their ability to minimize the painful effects on joints while swinging a golf club. The secret lies in the design, where two layers of synthetic rubber combine for gripping traction and comfort. The inner layer stabilizes the hands, while the outer layer provides excellent traction and a soft feel. The corded version is an excellent choice for golfers who play in wet conditions and prefer a slightly firmer feel with or without a glove. Dual Durometer Lite and Dual Durometer Putter models are also available.
What We Like: The feel of the corded grip is unlike any corded grip Golf Pride has made–we mean that in a very good way. Any golfer who likes the extra grip of cord will find the Dual Durometer a good option.

Golf Pride’s new DD2 grips feature an almost animalistic pattern to create a visual thumb-placement guide. Of course, looks aren’t everything, that’s why Golf Pride has taken considerable steps to create a grip that’s built with a firm core for stability and a soft exterior for superior comfort and control.

Macro Golf Macro Grip
www.macrogolf.com

Featured on the Macro Square Stroke Mallet and Blade, the Macro grip is designed with a unique reducing-oval shape that’s designed to help eliminate unwanted movements from the passive hand and eliminates unwanted wrist breakdown. In other words, the Macro grip is to help golfers with “the yips.” To use, a split grip is recommended to allow the dominant hand to control the back and forward stroke, which diminishes the tension in the forearms. Now, is it legal? Yes, the USGA says the Macro grip conforms.

Tech Talk
Get A Grip
By Jeff Shepherd
Winn Grips

The important thing for recreational golfers to do when choosing a new set of grips is to find the model that best suits their individual needs. Thanks to new technologies there are so many choices available today that’s it’s critical to find out what you like and also what works for your game. Find the material that feels best and suits your playing conditions. Size and firmness are also extremely important. If you have any problems with your hands, such as arthritis, try some softer grips that are tacky but not too firm. Also, regardless of your hand condition, we strongly recommend you see your local PGA professional to find out what size grip is appropriate for you.

At Winn we’ve been focusing on advanced technologies for quite some time and have found that advanced integration is the most significant development so far. As is the case with our Xi7 model, we can now combine different patterns and firmnesses of Polymer to provide what we feel is the ultimate in grip performance. With our patented Polymer material and advanced integration technology, we can provide grips that absorb 65-percent more shock than traditional grips as well as 40-percent more slip resistance. This puts a lot less strain on the hand and arms, while still providing plenty of feedback.

How To Buy A Grip
David Bass has been a professional clubmaker at Hillandale Golf Club in Durham, N.C., for 28 years. He’s the area’s utmost expert on getting golfers the right grips for their clubs. His advice: “Each type of grip comes in various sizes and textures. If you have oily skin and sweat while you play, you won’t have an easy time holding onto a standard grip. You’ll want soft cords. If you have tender and dry hands, go toward a rubber or composition grip, like those from Winn.”

Everyone’s hands are different, with respect to their finger lengths, shape and size of their palms. Bass suggests you take these traits into consideration as well. “Roll your hand into a circle and find the size of cavity it creates–that will help you determine the right grip size. You want your arms and shoulders to relax. If a grip is too small, it makes tension in your forearms and shoulders. If it’s too big, you have to squeeze to hold on to it, and that also creates tension. So fit is the most important criteria.”

The contour of the grip–how it gets smaller toward the lower hand–also needs to fit comfortably, according to Bass. “Most good players are __ðfeel’ golfers and will want a firmer grip so that they get more response from the club through their hands. Whatever grips you buy–more than anything–make sure all 13 clubs other than the putter have same-sized grips.”

Grips Buyer’s Guide 2006

As is the case with all categories of golf equipment, new materials and technologies have vastly improved the quality and feel of modern grips, and there now are a number of cord-style grips that feel as soft as velvet models, but with the added tack cord provides. For golfers with sensitive hands, or who simply prefer a soft feel, a buffed, velvet-style grip still is the top choice. In addition, there are grips that feature a combination of durometers (degrees of firmness) in different sections of the grip or in separate layers. These “multi-density” models represent the hot trend in grip design, and they’re fantastic.

Finally, if you’re one of many who suffer from arthritis or chronic tendonitis, it’s a good idea to experiment with a mid- or oversized grip. Most of the major manufacturers now make models that are significantly larger than standard, which can be excellent for reducing pain and hand fatigue.

How To Buy A Grip
David Bass has been a professional clubmaker at Hillandale Golf Club in Durham, N.C., for 28 years. He’s the area’s utmost expert on getting golfers the right grips for their clubs. His advice: “Each type of grip comes in various sizes and textures. If you have oily skin and sweat while you play, you won’t have an easy time holding onto a standard grip. You’ll want soft cords. If you have tender and dry hands, go toward a rubber or composition grip, like those from Winn.”

Everyone’s hands are different, with respect to their finger lengths, shape and size of their palms. Bass suggests you take these traits into consideration as well. “Roll your hand into a circle and find the size of cavity it creates–that will help you determine the right grip size. You want your arms and shoulders to relax. If a grip is too small, it makes tension in your forearms and shoulders. If it’s too big, you have to squeeze to hold on to it, and that also creates tension. So fit is the most important criteria.”

The contour of the grip–how it gets smaller toward the lower hand–also needs to fit comfortably, according to Bass. “Most good players are __ðfeel’ golfers and will want a firmer grip so that they get more response from the club through their hands. Whatever grips you buy–more than anything–make sure all 13 clubs other than the putter have same-sized grips.”

Avon Pro D2x
www.avongrips.com

Avon Pro D2x Most golf instructors believe the upper hand should dominate the golf swing, and the lower hand is essentially just hanging on for the ride. So does Avon, which designed its new Pro D2x to lend firm support on the top region of the grip, while lending a soft grip for the lower hand to prevent it from interfering too much with the swing. Ridges and channels make the Pro D2x a solid all-weather option, and the oversize model is great for those who require a more secure grip.
What We Like: The upper region is available with or without cords to accommodate just about everyone.
Material: Dual-mold compound
Design: Ribbed velvet
Size: Standard, Jumbo
Weight: 51g, 60g (Jumbo)

Golf Pride Dual Durometer
www.golfpride.com

Golf Pride Durometer Golf Pride’s Dual Durometer has been one of the most popular over the last two seasons, thanks to its ingenious designs and cord and non-cord models with the velvety feel. But golfers aren’t the only ones taking notice. The Arthritis Foundation has bestowed upon the Dual Durometer grips (along with Golf Pride’s Whisper models) their Ease of Use commendation for their ability to minimize the painful effects on joints while swinging a golf club. The secret lies in the design, where two layers of synthetic rubber combine for gripping traction and comfort. The inner layer stabilizes the hands, while the outer layer provides excellent traction and a soft feel. The corded version is an excellent choice for golfers who play in wet conditions and prefer a slightly firmer feel with or without a glove. Dual Durometer Lite and Dual Durometer Putter models are also available.
What We Like: The feel of the corded grip is unlike any corded grip Golf Pride has made–we mean that in a very good way. Any golfer who likes the extra grip of cord will find the Dual Durometer a good option.
Material: Thermoset rubber
Design: Corded velvet, Velvet
Size: Standard, Midsize, Undersize, Putter
Weight: 49g

The lower portion is made of soft rubber to provide optimal comfort and feel. It’s a superb model for golfers who want the best of both worlds.

Tech Talk
Grips Take The Hybrid Route
By Dan Koehler
Global Marketing Manager
Eaton/Golf Pride

The important thing for recreational golfers to do when choosing a new set of grips is to find the model that best suits their individual needs. Thanks to new technologies there are so many choices available today that’s it’s critical to find out what you like and also what works for your game. Find the material that feels best and suits your playing conditions. Size and firmness are also extremely important. If you have any problems with your hands, such as arthritis, try some softer grips that are tacky but not too firm. Also, regardless of your hand condition, we strongly recommend you see your local PGA professional to find out what size grip is appropriate for you.

At Winn we’ve been focusing on advanced technologies for quite some time and have found that advanced integration is the most significant development so far. As is the case with our Xi7 model, we can now combine different patterns and firmnesses of Polymer to provide what we feel is the ultimate in grip performance. With our patented Polymer material and advanced integration technology, we can provide grips that absorb 65-percent more shock than traditional grips as well as 40-percent more slip resistance. This puts a lot less strain on the hand and arms, while still providing plenty of feedback.
