Lamkin UTx Grips Review
I've only had the Acid Green and I have no issue with these. Love these grips. Actually have a backup set I F the Acid Green for replacement when needed.Every utx grip I have ever gamed except the acid green ones wear out very quickly just below left hand thumb for me. I don't know why. Originals, taylormade version, and tour edge exotics version all have this issue. Any one else have similar experience?

Acid green callaway version are the only ones that never had this issue for me. Red TEE version and regular wrap version shown in the picture above

I've had the problems with the red and blue versions but under my right thumb..... It's the biggest turn off.
I games the wraps for a little bit and never saw that issue.
I will say the acid green have held up well, but the black version that came with my Apex blacks are too slick. No grip/cord feel to them and remind me more of a REL 3Gen than a UTx. I'm currently trying to track down some cheap acid green ones, but the cost is holding me back

I wanted to restock on the acid green as well but they are expensive right now. I should have stocked up when they were going for about 50 bucks for 13
Yep, cheapest I'm seeing is around $10 for one.
Kang, I noticed a little more wear on the wraps than on the standard ones overall. For me it was more under my right thumb. I've got the greens on 4I-LW and they have held up well. Blue on my driver and fairway. They're holding up pretty well but the grips on my wedges are starting to slick up a bit. Need to give them a good cleaning and see if that breathes some life into them.

Now I get it. These are really nice and much much better than the UTx wrap.

My first visit with the UTx was with my Srixon 745s, I cut them off as fast as I could. But I just installed a UTx, blue that has a visible cord in it and I love them. Glad I took a second look.

Just cleaned my grips and am amazed at how good of shape the UTx on my irons are after about 200 rounds. Still very tacky and no cord breakdown thanks I'm sure to monthly cleaning with Gripes.

Anyone know where you can get Acid Green UTX? I just need two for my wedges.
Ebay is where I got my extras earlier in the year, but looks to be slim pickings these days.

I contacted him and he only has one available.
Lamkin UTx Grips Review
So this post is a little ironic as I'm about to move away from these grips for a bit but wanted to post about durability real quick. I just reshafted my PM Grind with the KBS shaft from my old Hopkins 58. That wedge spent well over a season in my bag for play and practice. Then spent about half a season in a friend's bag. When I grabbed it to pull it for reshaft, I noticed it was dirty, but still had some grip to it. After I finished the install, I left the grip on as I didn't have time to regrip before my next range trip. So, I just wiped it down real quick and threw it in the bag. Lo and behold, the grip on this wedge is just as tacky as it was when it was riding in my bag after picking it up. It's not pretty, but with some basic care these things last a good amount of time.
Now I will say that I don't feel like the acid green Cally versions held their tack this well. Not sure what's up there, but I've got nothing but great things to say about the red and blue versions of this grip.

I just had the same thing happen on a reshaft project, the new shafts had UTx on them and I don't know how old they were, but with a bit of a gripe down, see what I did there! They were good to go and feeling great.So this post is a little ironic as I'm about to move away from these grips for a bit but wanted to post about durability real quick.

I need to regrip my new (to me) irons and I'll most likely once again go with these in mid sized. Such a well wearing & comfortable grip.

Golfworks has a decent deal on 12 of these in the DoTD thread just in case but I think they're not available in midsize

I have a weird question (it may be my OCD
)...
If you look at the UTx and UTx wraps on Lamkin's website http://www.lamkingrips.com/shop/products.html , does it appear to anyone else that the black grips in each design have less cord on them than the red, blue, etc?
I know the cord can be harder to see on the black grips but to me it appears the black grips have less cord.

Put these on for the first time this year. Love the feel, but after only about 30 rounds my driver and most used wedge are wearing out pretty badly under my right thumb. Yes I know I shouldn't grip so tightly with my lower hand, but I do. So next time I regrip I don't think I'll use these.

KABOOM BABY!
I had similar results. The feel and performance was very good but the wear was terrible when compared to any other grip that I've owned.
