Lamkin Flat Cat Solution: A grip designed with the yips in mind

Published

on

Lamkin is taking Flat Cat’s technology a step further with the Flat Cat Solution, which is specifically tailored for golfer’s with yippy putting strokes.

Similar to the Flat Cat grip you saw on Justin Rose’s TaylorMade Arc1 Tour during the Masters, The Flat Cat Solution has a weighted stainless steel cone at the base of the grip (below the hands) to facilitate a smoother stroke and creates the sensation of a heavier putter head.

And beyond marketing puffery, consider what Lamkin’s President and CEO, Bob Lamkin had to say about the Cat.

“I really love the FLAT CAT Solution technology with the added weight built into the grip and placed closest to the club shaft. It is far more than just a grip, it is a putting solution that makes an immediate difference. I nearly gave up playing golf because of my putting problems. Using the weighted technology has renewed my passion for golf.”

Indeed, in SAM PuttLab testing, the Flat Cat Solution was the only grip that had a substantial impact on the putting strokes of golfers with the yips.

Flat Cat’s Flat 1 grip technology allows the hands and arms to sit square to the putter face, helping the face in turn stay square through impact. The parallel planes of the sides of the grip are conducive to alternative putting grips, such as the saw and claw.

The grip was developed in consultation with PGA Professional Mike Heisterkamp and longtime Whistling Straits and Pinehurst professional caddy Charlie Spain.

The grips are available in Standard and Fat widths and retail for $49.99.

    if you have had the yips, it is an uncontrolled movement near the ball.

    Until u have experienced it, very difficult to comprehend.

    yips means desperation, as it can finnish u as a golfer.

    Yea because it’s your grip why you’re not sinking putts.

    Not trying to start a fight, but how about old fashion practice Practice pitching, chipping and putting and enjoy the game more. I went back and looked at Nicklaus’s putting stance and noticed no golfer now days got low and over the ball like he did. Just food for thought

      Exactly, practice. People are lazy and looking to blame everything else but themselves. I need a grip to help me putt like the pros.

    Can someone explain those results to me, i’m seeing squiggly lines then non-squiggly. Are the vertical lines the impact point?

    Also, the $70 original price is insane, I’ve literally bought 2 putters (with SS grips) for that much on the BST.

    Isn’t the “knob” below the grip on the adjustable Ping putters basically the same thing?

    Nothing like that Stainless steel thimble on the end of the grip to let everyone know you have the yips. I’ll give everyone with that grip 2 strokes a side.

      I am sure Justin Rose would take your bet….Do you have $100,000 to put up or enough money to make it worth his time?

        I have the $100,000 but I’d prefer to bet a beer.
