Lamkin Tour White Full Cord Review

- The Lamkin Tour White Full Cord

Softer than traditional cord, the Tour White Full Cord from Lamkin performs and looks great too

I have two Words for you: White. Cord.

More specifically, I'm referring to a new grip called the Tour White Full Cord, the latest from Lamkin, the leading maker of cord grips on the PGA Tour (and the brand played by the winner of the 2011 season's final two majors). Lamkin initially developed the grip in response to special requests by top Tour players, and it is now available at club fitters, pro shops and golf retailers, and at Lamkin’s website lamkingrips.com.

If you are into golf equipment, you're probably a step ahead of me. Designing a grip that has been used by pros since the 50s in white is a fantastic visual idea. But if you're a longtime cord player, you probably won't run out and purchase the latest grip based on color alone.

Traditionalists love cord grips for their traction in all weather conditions, their durability, and the "close-to-the-shaft" feel that cord's firmness affords. But those same cord loyalists will be the first to admit that even the softest cord models can be a little tough on the hands, and some go as far as picking through a box of the same style grip to find the ones with the "just right" combination of rubber and cord.

After all, rubber cord is a technology that has been around since the 1950s. Lamkin's engineers wanted to provide a product that not only looks unbelievable against today's graphite or steel shafts -- it looks beautiful against a blue ProjectX graphite -- but with performance differences as well.

After testing it out for a few weeks I can safely tell you that Lamkin has arrived at a perfect balance of features with the Tour White Full Cord. Like the Tour Black Full Cord, the soft rubber compound is enhanced by buffed cord which provides the softest feeling cord grip on the market.

The Tour White Full cord comes in a traditional taper design, in a .580” core size, with a weight of 62 grams.
