Was DLIII hitting an R11s with an RBZ shaft - or were there two separate pics??

Anyone have any idea what kind of grip that is on Jack Nicklaus' club in Part 5?

I asked his caddy if I could shoot Jack's grip up close. He wasn't receptive to my request at all. Said Jack still uses the same type of grips he used for years. I think they are Lamkin slip on leather (the slip on leather part is correct, not 100% sure on the Lamkin part).

I'm pretty confiedent that Jack hasn't played with leather grips (except his putter) since the mid 90s and that he's never used a slip-on leather grip. They were still made with a paper underlisting by Jack Wulkotte at that time.

He then switched to a Griptec wrap grip. After they went out of business, he switched to a lamkin, which I think was the perma-wrap. I think he originally used the ones with the gold piping and no perforation.

The grips in those pictures are definitely lamkin wraps. I bet they're lamkin perma wraps but this time (obviously) all black. And, they look to have the perforations.

A few years back I regripped a set of '68 VIPs with those gold trim Lamkin Perma Wraps and they looked pretty darn sweet!

Haven't seen this discussed, but did anyone see Lee Trevino's interview (not sure which day it was)?

Very abrasive. Let others tell how great you were, we don't want to hear it from you yourself.
