Lamkin Midsize Grip

[Diamond]

I have just bought a new Cobra driver with a Lamkin Midsize grip. I am very happy with it but I have found the grip to be slippy for my non glove hand. It is brand new And I have washed thr grip down but it is still slippy especially the further I get into my round. The weather is unusually hot at the moment so that may be one reason but I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue.

Yes! I had the same issue with my cobra driver. I honestly felt like I couldn't keep a hold of it, the grip was in good condition too. I ended up selling it and going back to my other driver as I just put it down to me not being able to hit it.

Why wouldn't you just put on a new grip instead of selling the club?

Definitely seems a logical solution especially getting one that is the right size and feels good for the user

 

[Diamond]

It feels good but it just starts to slip mid round. It is 30c + so maybe it’s just the heat and sweat.

Is this a brand new club or a new to you as I am not aware of manufacturers using a grip that isnt branded with their own name.
Having used Lamkin midsize grips myself before I have found them to be fine until they’ve been on a while, or in horrendous rain.
I still use Lamkin grips, but now a Crossline in jumbo size.

I played yesterday, and while I was sweating my hands were fine. Two solutions to that problem.....either get corded grips which are fine year-round, or I would just switch to my rain gloves. I spent 5 years in Okinawa.....sweat just runs off you this time of year......never wore regular gloves, always rain gloves.

I should’ve explained it wasn’t the only reason I sold the club. I found it too heavy on the head. However, the grip was in good condition and didn’t think that it was the problem.

Fair enough.....

I've been tempted to try the Cobra drivers out when I look for my next driver.

Don’t let me let influence any decision, I am a slow swinger so I need as light as possible. I needed consistency which is something I didn’t get from the cobra. It’s an extremely popular choice this/last year so I must have been doing something wrong.

It’s a brand new Driver (F-MAX Airspeed Offset). Love the driver as it has eliminated my slice but right hand slips off the shaft on downswing. Enough for me to feel it and play a shank or pull.

I’ve never used it, only seen it online, so someone might have a better idea than me but I know you can get a spray which you spray on your none glove hand to help with grip.

I can see another thread appearing...sticky golf grip spray...

I have a Speedzone Extreme, had it since March and love it.

I have a Ping 410.....so it will be a while before I replace it. But when it comes time.....very interested in the fairway woods as well.

I have the 3 wood and a 4H hybrid. The 3 wood is also very good, but the hybrid is very, very good.

You do not say which Lamkin grip it is.

Lamkin REL 360 Midsize, it was standard Grip for the club.

 

[jim8flog]

Not clear from the pictures if it could be the grip itself.

Not wearing a glove and hands getting sweaty can be a reason for slippage.

I am interested when you say washed the grip down. Lamkin recommend warm soapy water and to dry the grip immediately.

I have the F-Max Airspeed 3 wood, and the 5 wood from the previous version, both with the Cobra badged Lamkin midsize grip. I have had no problems with grip, but I appreciate your issue is with the driver.
