Our Lynx Black Cat driver review took place out on the course at Moor Allerton in Leeds and back at the Golf Shack using Trackman.
Lynx were one of the biggest names in golf equipment back in the early 1990s with players such as Ernie Els and Fred Couples using their gear.
The company – now under UK ownership – pride themselves on making stylish, affordable clubs for all abilities.
Lynx Black Cat driver review – First impressions
I first saw and hit this driver at a launch event at Swinley Forest last year.
The look is fairly compact and it has no alignment aid on the crown so instantly to me looks like it will appeal more to mid-low handicappers.
There’s a subtle matt finish on the crown which is good for reducing glare.
The sample I tested had a Grafalloy Pro Launch shaft and a Golf Pride multi-compound grip. It feels like a premium package which belies the £239 price tag.
Lynx Black Cat driver review – The technology
This is a highly adjustable driver with 8.5Ëš-12.5Ëš plus draw/fade settings in the hosel and moveable weights on the sole.
It’s an intuitive system which allows a heavier weight to be spun round to a back or forward position.
Forwards will result in lower spin and launch, put it in the back position for the opposite.
It’s also available in blue, black and red finishes to really add to the customisation of this product.
Lynx Black Cat driver review – The results
I hit a number of shots with this driver out on the course and hit some really good drives.
The ball flight was strong with good distance and fairly tight dispersion.
Back in the Shack the numbers were looking pretty decent on Trackman too.
