Lamkin grips has expanded of its collection with the introduction of the new Wrap-Tech and UTx Wrap models, both designed as a comfortable high-performance alternative to traditional wrap-style grips.
They have also introduced a Technique putter grip which can help golfers use a variety of putting grip styles.
Lamkin’s ACE 3GEN material that is used in the Wrap-Tech provides a tacky and shock absorbing feel while the added traction in the dual pattern provides enhanced control and slip-resistance.
The UTx wrap utilises the same Tri-Layer technology that featured in the UTx grip launched last year.
This optimizes grip feel while also providing all-weather playability.
The layers include a foundation made of soft, super tacky ACE material for enhanced comfort, a middle layer of moisture-wicking fabric weave for traction and control in wet weather and a firm outer cover for control and grip stability.
Available in standard or midsize options, the grips are offered in royal blue or black.

The brand is celebrating its 90 anniversary this year, what does that mean to you?
When we talk about 90 years of golf grips you can only imagine the changes that have gone on in the grip industry and the way grips are made. I think 90 years in this business really means something and it’s a real test of the longevity of the brand hand how the product has transcended though the years. To go from where started in 1925 with my grandfather making leather grips in his garage to where we are today makes us very proud of what we’ve achieved. We are also proud of all the generations of staff and family members that have made all this possible.

In recent years’ we’ve really focussed on the materials side of grips. What we are really trying to accomplish is not just a cosmetic – a visual cosmetic that players like to have on their golf clubs. We want to create a visual cosmetic but with marry that with functional materials. The ACE materials in our grips are a long-term development and are very functional. The materials perform in cross-weather conditions. If you are playing in a rain storm in the UK or if you’re playing in Scottsdale in the middle of the summer, the grips are going to perform equally well.
