Testers Wanted: Lamkin Grips

When was the last time you changed your grips? Do you change them each season or are you using the same grips that have been on your clubs for years? 

MyGolfSpy needs eight golfers to test, review and keep some of Lamkin’s newest golf grips for 2023. 

Lamkin has been making high-quality golf grips since 1925 and continues to develop key innovations that result in more power, consistency and accuracy. For 2023, Lamkin has released the SONAR+ Black and the UTX Blue/Green Grips with new technology and comfort to help you get a better grip on your game.  Lamkin says the SONAR+ Black is known for “comfort, connection and power.” 

This grip, with a deceptively minimalist appearance, is constructed from Lamkin’s comfortable and durable Genesis Material. Combined with the refined texture and remarkable touch of their Fingerprint Technology, the result is a long-lasting grip with an enhanced feel and strong connection.

The UTX Blue and UTX Blue are said to be the industry’s first and only corded golf grip with a tack feel.

How to hit out of the Bunker

Hitting out of the sand, also known as a bunker shot, requires a specific technique to ensure a successful shot. Here are the basic steps to help you hit out of the sand effectively:

  1. Select the Right Club: Choose a sand wedge or a lob wedge for bunker shots. These clubs are designed with a higher loft, which helps to get the ball out of the sand and onto the green more easily.

  2. Open Your Stance and Clubface: Position your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart with your front foot flared open towards the target. Open the clubface by aiming it slightly to the right (for right-handed players) of the target.

  3. Dig Your Feet In: Sink your feet into the sand to stabilize your stance. This will provide a solid base for your swing and prevent your feet from slipping during the shot.

  4. Focus on the Sand Behind the Ball: Unlike shots from the fairway or rough, you want to hit the sand first when hitting from a bunker. Aim to strike the sand about 1-2 inches behind the ball. Visualize a spot in the sand where you want the club to make contact.
