Lamkin Corporation purchased the Royal Grip brand of golf grips from Royal Precision. Bob Lamkin, president of Lamkin, said a major reason for the purchase was because of the branding of Royal Grip in the Asian market. Lamkin and Royal Precision were already in a licensing partnership in which Royal Precision held exclusive distribution rights for Lamkin in much of Asia.

“The Royal Grip brand is very strong in Japan and this opportunity will allow us to introduce new Lamkin products under the Royal Grip brand, giving us considerably greater avenues for new product distribution,” Lamkin said. “We will develop current and future projects in Japan using the strength of the Royal name.”
