Lamkin UTX Cord

[1221]

Looking to re-grip my clubs on a budget and looking towards these at 5 euro a pop. Anybody have any experience using these and if so What are they like?

I really like them! They do get slick fairly quick I found but feel awesome when fresh!

I have used that grip on my hybrids for years -love the feel and they do hold up well -I have noticed that- staying in the truck all summer long is hard on them. That is true for most grips too. 

Put them on and tee it up.

Thanks. Looking for something similar to the TV Cord as they are quite expensive found the Z-cord nice but too rough and the regular Tour Velvet too soft so felt these could do the job at a good price

My favorite grip of all time.  Comfortable in normal conditions and excellent grip in cold/ extreme heat.

More of less this, but can often be found for good pricing, so doesn't hurt as much to regrip as needed.  Played them for a few seasons and then bit the bullet and went back to Z-Cords or CP2 wraps when I wanted a pillowy feeling in my hands.

Ya I find the Z-cord just too rough on the hands. The perfect choice would be the TV Cord but too pricy and think these are the closest things to them and have a bit of added tack

Yeah, agreed.  I had lucked out a few years ago and picked up a pile of the Lamkin Crossline cords when they were closing them out and changing the label on them, they were great.  But I flip clubs too much and went through that stash faster than I should have...

The UTx and the standard Crossline are my favorite grips to use.  I don't feel like they get slick to easy at all.  They last a good amount of time, and I practice or play just about everyday in the summer.  I live in Texas, and have used them living in Houston and the DFW area, and they have been fine in both locations, especially in Houston where it's really humid. 

 

I'm currently using the standard Crossline on my clubs, but only because I was changing the shafts in my irons this past summer, and didn't want to put a more expensive grip on them if I didn't like the shaft.  I'll eventually go back to the UTx if I find a good deal on them somewhere.

Been playing them for a few years.  Great grip - slightly tackier than most cords I had tried in the past.

It feels great and really tacky at first but it does get slick and gets that glazed look sooner than expected.

 

I feel like Lamkin grips in general are about 10-20% less durable than Golf Prides, but thats just my experience.

 

They also feel bit thinner than Golf Prides, so I always add extra layer when using standard Lamkins (not the PLUS versions which are like +4 series in Golf Pride).

Ya I usually replace my grips once a year. How long do they lasy for you obviously this will differ for me but if I get the season with them I would be happy.

I like the Crossline full cords. About to re shaft my clubs, might give UTXs a try.
