Gary McCord, for Lamkin Grips
A 300-yard drive will travel exactly 10,800
inches. Yet, the effectiveness of that monster
drive as it relates to your ability to score may
come down to a much smaller measurement.
One inch, in fact.
That one inch is a big part of the new
Performance Plus 3GEN wedge grip offered by
Lamkin Grips.
Taking the importance of 'choking up' for
better control on wedge shots into account,
Lamkin's Performance Plus 3GEN Wedge Grip is
one full inch longer than other standard grips
but has the same reduced taper. The end
result leaves golfers much more space to
gain better feel on short wedge shots and
chips while avoiding the thin taper used on
most grips that leaves space for fingers to
shift and the swing to suffer.
The grips have two seamless 'buttons' spaced
1.5 inches apart at the base of the grip to help
provide a landmark for golfers hoping to get
the most out of their extended grip.
Consisting of Lamkin's proprietary 3GEN
material, the Performance Plus Wedge grip
comes in black and white and stays true to the
quality expected from Lamkin's extensive line
of grips.
If you're wondering just how much of an
impact one additional inch on your wedge grip
can make, watch the video above from golf
commentator and Champions Tour player Gary
