Performance Plus 3GEN Grips
The Performance Plus 3GEN grips are made from Lamkin’s proprietary synthetic rubber material that’s both soft and tacky with an unmatched “single-strike” vibration-dampening properties. The grips have a very similar texture that resembles that of Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips, but that’s where the similarities end. The Performance Plus 3GEN material will not absorb moisture and have an excellent tacky texture.
The feel of the Performance Plus 3GEN grips are tacky, making it very easy to grip the club on a hot and humid day. Over time the tackiness of the grips doesn’t seem to wear out as quickly, and you can just wipe down the grip to refresh the tackiness. I noticed that the 3GEN material was very comfortable to hold, which was soft and responsive, that allowed my hands to feel connected to the club. I never had any doubt that the club would twist at impact or slip out of my hands.
A cool feature of the 3GEN material is the the vibration-dampening properties, that provides unmatched “single-strike” dampening. The material is able to reduce the amount of vibration transferred to your joints, which is a welcome relief on mishits.
Overall, the Performance Plus 3GEN golf grips are great for the golfer looking for a soft and responsive grip, that maintains its tackiness over time.

N-DUR Black And White Grips
N-DUR is the hexagon-pattern on the back of the N-DUR grips, designed to promote a lighter grip and protect the hands from slipping at impact. The front panel is designed to reduce fatigue and promote an ideal grip for better ball striking and accuracy. The N-DUR did remind a lot of the Golf Pride DD2 grips with its blend of soft and firm materials.
What I really liked about the N-DUR grips is the firm hexagon pattern on the back of the grip, which felt good in my hands. The texture made it very easy to grip on both hot and humid days, without any concern of losing the club. The front panel felt soft and tacky in my hands and responsive on my shots at impact, since its made from the 3GEN synthetic material.
The N-DUR Black and White grips, are worth checking out for the golfer who likes dual textured grips, that are both soft, tacky, and responsive.
N-DUR Black and White $6.99
Which Lamkin Grip is Right for You?
This is a million dollar question and it really comes down to a couple of factors cost and feel. If you like Tour Velvet grips, the Performance Plus 3GEN grips are a great alternative that remain tacky over a longer period of use. I like the N-DUR grips because of the dual textured nature of the grips, because you get the best of both worlds with 3GEN and N-DUR pattern.
My advice, try one of each on your golf clubs and decide after playing several rounds. Regardless of which one you select, you really can’t go wrong.
