I currently have the stock Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord on all of my clubs right now. I was thinking about trying something different for my irons. I was wondering what people think that have experience with the Golf Prides and the Lamkin grips mentioned in the title. I'm interested in the Lamkin Crossline, Crossline Soft Cord, and Tour Black Full Cord.

Are the Lamkin's considerably softer than the firm Golf Pride Cords? Hows the traction on them?

Dminn23,

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord feels the firmest of all three and has the least cord material exposed. It is the most durable grip of the ones you mentioned. The Lamkin Crossline Soft Cord has a firm feel, but soft cord. I'm not a big fan of the interaction between the crossline pattern and cord feel. To me, it just feels odd. The Tour Black Full Cord is my favorite grip on the market. It has a lot of exposed cord, but a semi-soft rubber it is suspended in. It has great traction and feel, and combines the firm feel of the Velvet Cords with the cord of the Crosslines. Great grip, and is made to be turned logo down.

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
