The Crossline 2.0 is a reduced taper grip. Replicates +4 wraps on the bottom hand. Most of the reduced taper grips will be heavier than their standard counterparts.
KBS C-Taper Lite, Project X Red, AMT Black , or Nippon 1050GH if you want to stay around the 105-110g range strictly.
Lighter options you can go for the KBS $ Taper Lite, KBS Tour Lite, Dynamic Gold Mid 100, Nippon 950GH, or AMT Red.
SuperStroke bought Lamkin to go against Golf Pride. Another thread mentioned they will be phasing out Lamkin OEM offerings(stock grips) over the next year. By next year, the Lamkin brand will no longer be on new offerings, it will be all SuperStroke
They are super strict when it comes to warranty. You need to be the original purchaser and have the shaft built by the dealer where you purchased it. Only reason because they will ask for proof of purchase from the dealer. Otherwise, it's gonna be a no from them.
No. Not that type. That's the current set up done by the MCC grips from Golf Pride or the Lamkin ST Hybrid, or Super Stroke REVL Element. The one he's referring to is the old style where the logo up half was all rubber and the logo down side was full cord.
File or blade to just get paint/epoxy removed is way better. Belt sanders invite opportunities to make errors. Especially with novice hands like at big box stores like PGASS.
Two issues to bring up with this method.
1. A lot of builders, myself included, will epoxy ferrules to the shaft on installation. This method won't do much to ferrules installed with epoxy backing it. Especially with people who use beads or other media in the epoxy to add grit/fill space.
2. A lot of graphite shafts have aggressive taper profiles after their parallel tip sections. So sliding the ferrule as shown could crack them anyway when creating enough space for a puller or crowbar to get in to pull the heads off. Some pullers won't even have the clearance to have the ferrule sit where the vice clamp holds the shaft without having the ferrule be in the way or damaging it entirely.
Always good to see new methods populate, just wanted to add my two cents.
(PS safety first, probably would want to avoid having any blade in a position where it can slip and cut you.)
Something of note. The 7 model has switched from a single bend to a double bend shaft. A slight reduction of offset as a result and one more level of the Odyssey-fication of the Phantom line.
The 5.5 is also the only lefty model.
