Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Phthalates or plasticizers in elastomer matrix, Heavy metals in colorants or stabilizers, Degradation products from UV and thermal stress and Microplastic generation during wear on the Lamkin and not on the Wilson.
  • We flag Graphite shaft resin degradation and fiber exposure, Rubber grip deterioration and skin contact and Nickel or chromium sensitivity from steel clubheads on the Wilson and not on the Lamkin.
  • The Lamkin is Elastomer grip, likely rubber or synthetic polymer blend where the Wilson is Steel clubheads, graphite shafts, rubber grips, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
