Lynx Golf

[ScienceBoy]

Looking at their offerings at the top end of the bag, fairways and hybrids.

Look decent and seem to go well.

Anyone got any experience of these clubs, the predator or the new black cat?

My first ever pro played Lynx so I've always held them in high regard but never owned any of their clubs.

Currently quite tempted, what is a similar cost brand/model that performs as good or better?

 

[snell]

Benross seem to get good reviews considering their price point, could be worth a go?

 

[Coffey]

I have a Benross fairway and have to say it is really good. I paid £30 for it in AG ex demo, was like new condition. Shaft and grip worth about £50 on their own! If you are looking second hand you can pick them up dirt cheap, but even new they are fantastic value.

Lynx are just re-launching the brand at the moment. I think the new driver is virtually the same as one of last years Callaway's.

I know a couple of people of have gone for a full set up of lynx this year and can not find anything to match them in terms of distance or dispersion.

Are they still punting that daft gas filled driver?

 

[Smiffy]

I had a set of Lynx Black Cat irons many years ago and they were really nice.
Don't know what the newer stuff is like though.

Also illegal IIRC

I will stick to non-gas filled kit

Was that the one which you had a headcover to "keep it warm"? Or was that another one of their mad moments?

The infamous Boom Boom 2?

Now that was a great thread over on Golf-Tragic was it not?:thup:

Boom boom 2 & 3 are fine if you don't use the heated headcover that is.

Im looking at the hybrids, the predator hybrids look like cheatsticks... Not hit one yet.

There is a stockist or two locally, more than Benross.

 

[t0m]

So used to have a lynx black cat driver and its the second best I've used so easy to hit and so cheap

I can't help, I love to eat my greens and beans.

Going to hit the hybrids today, see how they fly.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

They are doing a demo day at my local range (next week from memory) as part of their re-launch. Not a brand that has ever excited me even in their heyday but I may have a wander and a nose at the new stuff.

Played a Lynx black cat 3 wood 10 years ago, was a super club, never really found another 3 wood that I hit as well. Stupidly bought into the idea that a Taylor Made V-steel was bound to be better, it wasn't.

And here I was thinking the v-steel was the greatest fairway ever made!

Maybe it was and that's what I heard too before buying but not in my hands alas.:mmm:

Saw their TV ad for the new Black Cat driver during the golf on Sky yesterday.

Though it was very interesting that the ad said nothing about the tech / distance / forgiveness of the driver, just a swanky 30 second slo mo of a bloke swinging it.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Di Dougherty (Sky Sports Nick Dougherty's Mrs) have something to do with the company? She was all over Twitter for a while posting about Lynx Golf?
