Just fitted some Lamkin Mid size neon blue REL grips

[harpo_72]

Well I have just fitted them over a period of 5 days due to running out of grip tape. I put two layers underneath including adhesive side. They look the business if not a bit brash, but look fat!
Just went and had a swing in the garden and they sit in my hands with out any straining of my forearm muscles and the swish sounds nice... and the divot carried to the back window with a nice splat (don't tell the wife, I'll blame the jackdaws .. that should be believable enough if I keep a straight face)
So here hoping Sunday is a dry-ish afternoon and I can get out if not then maybe a little wander to the range on Saturday..:fore:

Great grips, had them on my last set of irons and I'm thinking of putting them on my jpx825's.
Come in loads of colours as well.

Their ok when dry but when wet with rain or sweat IMHO are not as good as tour velvet

Tour velvet are my favourite all rounder but I do like the Lamkin crossline for its longevity

 

[harpo_72]

Ah.. I thought these were good in the wet.

It's what come on the cobra, when I get sweaty hands, or the grip get wet it's crap in comparison

Did you not towel them off or use wet glove?

I do, and it's these gripe that force me to go to a wet glove sooner in damp conditions.

I've got these on my driver and tour velvet on the 3w and the difference is amazing - the amp will be getting a tour velvet soon. Wet conditions are so so, but I don't think you should lose grip with sweaty hands that easily

Okay, i will be prepared

Get macwets

Get macwets

I have the under armour jobbies and the mizuno ones floating around. Plus I carry an extra dry towel on wet days. Sweaty hands are not my affliction any more think its all the baby changing stuff that really dries them out.

Couldn't agree less

I've always found Tour Velvet grips go very soft and have a nasty, sticky feel to them, even after about a round of use.

I also didn't think they wore very well rather. On my old R7 irons they were worn after a season.

I prefer full cord grips myself, but price wise, Tour Velvets win hands down (Half the price of Cord).

Just my 2 cents as the yanks say :lol:

My lamkin crossline have been on the TM TP's for 2 1/2 years now and granted they had a six month hiatus when I had the G25's in the bag but they are still going strong. Regular cleaning helps but given the amount of golf and practice I do that is good return. The lamkin aren't corded http://www.gamolagolf.co.uk/acatalog/Lamkin_Crossline_Golf_Grips.html

Agree RE:the Crosslines Homer for sure. Just not the Velvets.

As I say I prefer a firmer, corded grip. Don't like soft grips.


Even the Iomic on my Scotty Cameron is firm.

Like home slice I think the TV's have been on the cbs for a good 18 months plus, still like new, I reckon Gareth is just heavy handed

Probably have a point.

That said, I don't think it's grip pressure as I still have the same Titleist players glove from the end of last season which I use for practice. If you've used the. You'll know they aren't the thinker if gloves,and mine is showing very little wear.

Perhaps just how often I play/practice?
