A head-to-head look at two of the top grips in the Every18 index — scores, fit, estimated used price, and which one to buy.
2022 Grips
The Lamkin Sonar+ Tour edges the SuperStroke Zenergy on overall Every18 score (97 vs 96), but that headline number only tells part of the story. On value, the Lamkin Sonar+ Tour comes out ahead in the Every18 value index, so it stretches your money further even where the sticker prices are close. The SuperStroke Zenergy is the more forgiving of the two, which is the bigger deal for most mid- and higher-handicap players. Bottom line: choose the Lamkin Sonar+ Tour if you fit its profile (swing grip); choose the SuperStroke Zenergy if you lean toward putter grip.
