2020 Lamkin ST Calibrate

Lamkin has launched two new additions to their new ST (Smooth Tack) family—the ST+2 Hybrid and ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate, as well as adding Calibrate Technology to their Sonar line.

New for 2020, Lamkin is introducing Calibrate Technology to their ST family, and the ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate grip features the most prominent reminder spine of any grip ever produced by the brand which bids to help optimize hand placement, club face awareness, control and feel.

The latest additions to the ST family, the ST+2 Hybrid and ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate grip feature the brand’s new “Smooth Tack” material—a special formulation of the company’s Genesis Material, which contains a smooth, tacky surface and increased durability

On both new models, each grip incorporates two distinct zones. The upper of each grip features an infused cord designed to provide enhanced traction for the anchoring hand, while the tacky lower section aims to provide control and stability to the guiding hand. The midsized-plus profile (plus 2) has a reduced taper designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of players.

In addition to the ST family, Lamkin will also be adding Calibrate Technology to its Sonar family with the Sonar+ Wrap Calibrate and Sonar+ Tour Calibrate.

The Sonar+ Wrap Calibrate is the first wrap grip to incorporate reminder technology. In addition to Calibrate Technology, the grip features the brand’s Genesis Material and Fingerprint Technology – designed to add a consistent micro-texture surface pattern for slip-resistant control and omni-directional traction.

The Sonar+ Tour Calibrate also includes Lamkin’s Genesis Material and Fingerprint Technology and is aimed at golfers with higher swing speeds, and features a plus-size taper shape.

Speaking on the new additions, Bob Lamkin, CEO of Lamkin Grips stated

“2020 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in our 95-year history, as we’re introducing breakthroughs both in material and design innovation. Genesis Material has been a complete gamechanger for us and the addition of Smooth Tack further exemplifies how the materials used in a golf grip can be engineered to impact performance, confidence and the lifespan of the product.

“With Calibrate we saw an opportunity to vastly improve the reminder / ribbed grip category, and it is without doubt a substantial advancement over what is currently on the market not only in performance but also in ease of installation.”

The new additions will be available at retail and LamkinGrips.com nationwide beginning February 2020.

    Reminder technology? Grips 20 years ago and longer were available with ribs on the underside.

    They kind of lost favor and coming back with a new marketing tactic.

    The two tone grips don’t look right. The UTx from a couple years back was best looking and performing grips ever. Back to the drawing board Lamkin.

    These look great. I have switched over to all Lamkin. Great durability and reasonable prices.
