Got lamkin grips on my new irons and after 1 round and 4 range sessions, my 5 and 8 iron have already got some thumb wear marks on them. I've only really hit these irons at the range but is it normal for wear to show quickly?

They have about 8 or so different models of grips... which ones do you have?

If they are the i-line grips, then those will wear more quickly on the thumb ... just like Iomics.

I just installed some UTx and Wrap Tech grips on my clubs. As soon as the rain stops...

They say crossline on the butt of the grip. Is that the ones that wear quicker?

Are those a new model or counterfeits or something...and I don't see any wear marks.. I've played the full cord for quite some time and never see any wear marks... I do tend to see high variance in sizes colors and shapes between the cross lines though

They're not counterfeit grips. I think I've discovered it's just that there are dark dots or something in clusters of the x grip parts which are making it look dark. Hopefully you can see what I mean.

The Lamkin Crossline is an iconic grip -- people love them. I'd be surprised if they wore out soon.

My Crosslines and Ace Gens would last a couple of years if cared for...

Would not worry about the little darker cluster of black on white.

I've owned Iomics that would wear after a couple of range sessions -- if that is causing you troubles, you'd collapse with Iomics.

Thanks guys. I think I'm obsessing over the slightest thing as they're brand new irons and I want to keep them in good condition etc. Need to realise they're going to get worn and clubs will get scratched etc.

Could it be as simple as dirt/sweat from your hands?

Wipe those things off and see.

What's the best way to clean grips? Just a damp cloth over them?


Depends on conditions.

The hotter and sweatier your hands, the more frequently you must clean grips.

1. Lamkin has a product called Gripes that many people like - it's easy and disposable - like a damp wipe with cleaning agents. I think it is $5.95 for a box.

2. I have used a product called Clean and Tacky when the grips have been through a couple of sweaty range sessions --  2 sprays on the grip, use a nylon brush to scrub, rinse with water, and wipe with a towel.

3. Simple cleaning -  I've heard of Windex, Formula 409, Simple Green - a spray, scrub, rinse and dry.

4. Simplest - water and a wipe after a session. But go to one of the above, and at least a scrub with a brush once every couple of weeks depending on play.

More frequent cleaning will help your grips last.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
