Spotted: Lamkin Z5 Tour Taper grips

At the 2017 AT&T Byron Nelson, we spotted new “Z5 Tour Taper” grips from Lamkin, which are designed to encourage lighter grip pressure to ultimately create more distance, control and consistency, according to the company.
To accomplish this, the grips are built with a larger diameter at the bottom of the grips, helping to stabilize your lower hand. You’ll notice in the photo below that the bottom of the grip has a more built-up look than a standard grip.
Also, like its Z5 grips, the Z5 Tour Taper grips use five different grip sections to maximize feel and performance. They have a soft cord in the upper sections, “high-traction finger locks” in the middle section, and a micro texture in the lower sections that’s relatively smoother. For golfers who want a more consistent feel from the top of the grip to the bottom, Lamkin suggests installing them “logo down,” or in other words, flipping the grip 180 degrees.
For a tacky feel and shock absorption at impact, the grips are made with Lamkin’s familiar ACE material. The Z5 Tour Taper grips will be available for $8.99 starting on May 26.

GolfWRX Holiday Spotlight: FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor

Product: FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor
Pitch from FlightScope: “Elevate your golf game with the most fully equipped launch monitor and simulator. The award-winning Mevo+ comes out of the box with 20 data parameters, 10 simulated golf courses, skills challenges, games, and more. Using Patented Fusion Tracking technology, the Mevo+ gives users accurate and consistent performance data for indoor and outdoor use. Whether you want to practice with a purpose and improve your game or just have fun with family and friends, the Mevo+ is for you.”
Plus, with a promo code (HOLIDAY23) you can get the Mevo+, which retails for $2,199, for $1,869.
Our take on the FlightScope Mevo+
FlightScope’s Mevo+ has been one of the most-used and widely praised launch monitor models over the past few years, but that didn’t mean that FlightScope was going to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Adding new features and even some hardware updates was the big story for Mevo+ in 2023 with the addition of the Pro Package and Face Impact location upgrades.
As a refresher, FlightsSope’s patented Fusion Tracking software combines the monitor’s 3D Doppler radar and image processing for unmatched data accuracy. Combining the two capture systems lets the strengths of each shine, giving you the most accurate data on your swing and shots.
The Mevo+ tracks and displays 20 data parameters, including club head speed, ball speed, launch, and spin that all golfers want to see to dial in their game. Adding the Pro Package adds another 30 parameters like face-to-path, face-to-target, vertical swing plane, low point, and much more. If you are a golfer looking to tune up your swing this winter, the club data can help you and your coach ensure you are making the progress you need.
For the club junkies out there, FlightScope’s Mevo+ will get your club distances dialed in or optimize the flight on that new adjustable driver or fairway wood. Doppler radar tracks the golf ball from the second it leaves the club until it reaches the ground, so you know exactly how your shots are going to perform on the course.
If you are looking to do a little indoor simulation golf during the cold months, then the Mevo+ has you covered there as well. E6 Connect is included with your Mevo+ purchase, which includes six golf courses, 17 practice ranges, and online games to scratch the golf itch until you can get back out on the course. FlightScope also includes its FS Skills app that will help you assess your skills and compare them to other golfers around the world. FS Skills can make practice fun with targets and distance games that help improve your weaknesses.
Again, with promo code (HOLIDAY23) you can get the Mevo+, which retails for $2,199, for just $1,869.

I like these quite a bit. Currently trying the Z5 grip as an alternative to my NDMC and liking them (although I think they need more prominent cord). I use the Plus 4 grips on my wedges for improved feel so these might be a good option as well. Really like the color scheme too. And the best part is they’re $2 less than the NDMC version.

Riding Golf Pride’s coattails on this concept… Besides, if these are so ugly why wouldn’t I just get a grip I like the looks and feel of and then just add 4-5 layers of tape to bottom hand?
