Testers Wanted!
For this Testers Wanted opportunity, we introduce you to RUNNER Golf, a small up-and-coming putter company from France. Founded in 2021 by Simon Linot, the process of getting their putters to market didn’t take too long all things considered. And when they were released RUNNER Golf were rewarded almost immediately when they won the “Best in Show” innovation prize at the 2022 PGA Merchandise Show.
About RUNNER Golf Putters:
Available in three different models (RUNNER original, blade, mallet), this series of putters is packed with technology and RUNNER’s signature moving weights system at the back of each putter. All of the RUNNER golf putters are built in Normandy, France.
They consist of a multi-material modular design with precision-milled 6061 aluminum with weight options and setups to help golfers make more putts. The modular design enables customers to change and upgrade different sections of the putters over time. Furthermore, RUNNER Golf also has a comprehensive self-fitting guide on their website, which will help you choose which one of their putters is best for you.
This AI configuration guide will consist of a handful of questions and takes only a few minutes to complete. The questions are thorough and cover everything from putter preferences to putting grip. At the end, it will give the best recommendation for putter style, weight setting and more.
What Is Being Tested?
For this testing opportunity, we are searching for four golfers who want to test, review and keep a RUNNER Golf putter. The putter for testing will be based on their AI configuration guide.

Every night after dinner, my wife and I go back and forth on whether or not we should go out for a little sweet treat.
Little does she know, I’m bringing home golf balls tonight.

Yes.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
But seriously—can we lighten up a little bit? I get it. Golf is a game of tradition. In the same sense, though, golf is a game of advancements. If we didn’t change a thing about golf since its inception, the game would be obsolete by now.
Adapt and thrive or fail to survive.
This is exactly how I view golf’s heinous (yes, heinous) dress code. In what world does it make sense that players on the PGA Tour can’t wear shorts? And don’t even get me started on collared shirts. From the professional ranks to the municipal course, the dress code must change if golf has any shot at bringing in a new cohort of golfers.
FootJoy’s iconic Premiere line just got a little dressier.
Say hello to the new Premiere Series Field LX and Premiere Series Bel Air. These two stylish additions to the revered Premiere series of golf shoes are the latest offerings from FootJoy’s flagship lineup.
Predicated on performance, both shoes build upon FootJoy’s Premiere prowess with the addition of details that upgrade the style, too. For the Premiere Series Field LX, this comes in the way of a new leather rand.
The change is purely cosmetic, though the additional leather piece may add a little lateral stability.
As far as the Bel Air is concerned, this female-specific silhouette takes on a classic saddle-shoe styling. The full leather upper is paired with an intricate saddle overlay. As with the Field LX, the Bel Air features the same performance features that make FootJoy’s Premiere Series so popular.
No matter what perspective you have on the division within professional golf, most agree that the Official World Golf Ranking is no longer accurate.
As is the case with a lot of issues within the game, it’s simple—and complicated.
The simple part is that LIV Golf does not qualify for ranking points. Because of that, that league’s best players are plummeting in the rankings. In many cases, their standing in the OWGR is not reflective of their overall standing in the game.
Joaquin Niemann is No. 80 in the OWGR. Data Golf—a popular ranking that includes LIV performance—has Niemann at ninth in the world.
Bryson DeChambeau is No. 189 in the OWGR but 17th in Data Golf.
Lamkin Golf says its UTX Green and Blue Grips are the fastest-growing grip in their lineup on the PGA Tour. They categorize the grip as “Ultra Tack with Cord” and believe it is an “industry-first” grip that gives golfers the confidence of a secure connection with the club. Lamkin says the Tri-Layer Technology results in “the same traction, moisture control and enhanced feel trusted by tour pros around the world.”
The Tri-Layer Technology “blends three unique materials to create the perfect-feeling grip.” The outer layer features firm ACE material to provide “superior torsion control and vibration dampening.” Next is a middle layer of full-cord fabric weave to enhance moisture-wicking properties and increase grip traction. Last is the soft inner layer of ACE foundation for enhanced comfort and feel.
Is this the ultimate combination for a grip with tack and the benefits of a corded grip? Read on to see what our testers discovered.
Selection Process
Our Forum staff handpicked four testers for the UTX Green and Blue Grips. Testers selected their preferred color and size and received a full set of UTX grips from Lamkin.
