Feedback
Looking at re-gripping my clubs with the Lamkin Crossline Cord Grips, any feedback as to how they are? I have the Golf Pride Multi-Compounds right now, but looking to switch it up a bit, so any other suggestions would be good. Thanks!
Feedback
I have played Lamkin full cords (Crossline Sof Cord) for the past 15 years or so (could be more - can't remember - wait, what was I talking about?) - so, I obviously love them. I've been eager to try new grips, but every time I do, nothing quite stacks up - I guess I've used them for so long that nothing else feels right.
Feedback
My favorite by far. The only consideration worth mentioning is that the taper rate under the left hand is more gradual than with GP, so that may take a little getting used to. May not, however - I greatly prefer it in fact. Price is much more reasonable than GP too, especially considering that they last forever.
