Golf Pride / Superstroke?

I was talking to Ping support yesterday as I will be ordering new clubs soon. In discussing grip availability the person told me that Golf Pride had just purchased Superstroke (Lamkin). Anyone aware of this?

Would be interested to hear if this is actually true. Wouldn't make sense. Superstroke just nerfed all the lamkin grips and replaced them with a limited line of SS branded lamkin style grips. Why would they then sell to Golf Pride? The first thing GP would do is nerf all the brand new SS grips.

I am assuming they were confusing Superstroke’s acquisition of Lamkin which happened last year.

After reading the responses I called Ping back today for clarification. Golf Pride did not purchase Superstroke. The person I spoke with yesterday was incorrect.

It does look like some of the new Superstroke grips coming out of the merger have dropped. See here for example https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMF8INKx1L4/?igsh=MWRsODU4cXJvNnM2bA==

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

Currently using the REVL Comforts and they're the real deal. Unless the wear out quickly, I may not buy another GP grip. So far for me they're 10/10

Same, loving the REVL!
