Testers ANNOUNCED LYNX Black Cat and Prowler VT Irons

[Golfspy_CG2 27,842]

Do you remember when Baby Got Back and End of the Road topped the billboard charts? If so,  then you will remember when Lynx irons won a couple Major Championships in the early 90's with Fred Couples and Erine Els, and that the cat symbol was one of the coolest logos in golf. If you don't remember those songs...well there is always google!!!  

LYNX disappeared from the mainstream for quite a while---you can read about LYNX announcing it's return to the US last year in this as usual great piece by John Barba The Cat is Back   

So what does this mean for the forum.....a great testing opportunity as usual.   Lynx is providing 4 sets of the Prowler VT and 4 sets of the Black Cat irons for you to test, review and keep.    Not sure which one fits your game, take a few moments and check them out on the website--at the time this was posted the site is undergoing some maintenance, but you should still be able to see which model interests you.

Completely agree! This will be really unique to see how they perform. Good luck to all that apply!

Another thread I'm particularly interested in. Love all of the smaller companies that are releasing equipment these days. Good luck to those who apply!

I'm in the middle of league season, so not wanting to experiment with new gear at the moment. Interested to see the thoughts on these clubs. Lynx is more prominent in the UK and trying to get back into the US market. 

[perseveringgolfer 4,797]

Another great MGS testing opportunity, I remember Lynx well, good to see them back.

If only they included the tour irons in the test I'd be all over this.

Good luck fellow spies I'll still be following the test with interest.

Looking at the specs on Lynx, Prowler VT irons would be close to my specs of my Callaway's, that's the only way I could honestly test them against the clubs I have already.

Lynx site says 5 - PW but the option of 3/4 iron, would need 4 iron added, I love hitting the 4 in my Callaway set.

Would need stiff flex, standard lie is perfect.

I had some Lynx clubs in my bag when I goofed around on the course with my father and grandfather as a kid. I'll be curious to see how this new generation works for the spies who are selected for testing.
