Origin2024
Lamkin is the ~100-year-old No. 2 golf-grip maker (founded 1925 in Chicago, later San Diego), long the family-run independent counterweight to Eaton's Golf Pride. But the family era ended: with no fourth-generation Lamkin to take over, the company was acquired by putter-grip specialist SuperStroke in 2024. So the golf-grip duopoly is now BOTH corporately owned — Golf Pride inside the industrial giant Eaton, Lamkin inside SuperStroke — completing the consolidation of a category every golfer touches and leaving no major independent family grip maker standing.

Golf Digest ↗Did you know2024
[single-source] A golf grip looks like a commodity accessory but is really a tuned-elastomer product, and Lamkin's edge is chemistry: it is one of the only North American grip makers that blends its OWN proprietary compounds in-house — its patent-pending Genesis hybrid material and 'Fingerprint' micro-texture technology — rather than buying generic rubber. Tack, vibration damping, all-weather performance and durability are formulation problems, so grip leadership is fundamentally a materials-engineering business, not just a molding one. The unglamorous rubber sleeve is where polymer R&D, not branding, decides the winner. [verify: single-source but plausible; Genesis/Fingerprint real, 'one of only NA blenders' superlative only in Lamkin marketing echoed by retailers]
