JimNantzsToast Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I wanted to update a few things I realize I left out of the stage 1 ( I will edit it to reflect this as well): Typical Driver SS: 100-105 Iron/shaft specs: KBS Stiff shafts 1* upright +.25" Some initial thoughts after showing these to people at my club, including the pro: The first thing my club pro mentioned was "wow these are the most upright irons I've ever seen!" I need to get the lie checked out, to see how close they are to the 1* upright I ordered. Most people I show them to really like how they look! Like really like them a LOT. I'm getting more compliments on clubs than I ever have before. Which is weird to me because: Other than the black finish, and the nice shape - I think these clubs look cheap and pretty ugly. I am not a fan of the bedazzled silver inlay, and the lime green "eye" looking thing. (I don't care if I think a club is ugly, if I play well with them, I'm just fine with anything!). I shot my best two rounds with these last week, an 81 followed by an 80 - so there may be something to these things!

azstu324 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 So I've gotten a couple questions about why my grips were sent uninstalled. That was all per my request. I started out by actually requesting my very specific grip install instructions. Rob (Golfspy_CG2) being the outstanding moderator and good guy that he is quickly reminded me that my crazy was starting to show (my wife does this often) so I just requested them to be sent separate and I had my guy at PGATSS set them up for me at no charge. My request goes something like this: 1 full base wrap. 1 wrap 2/3 up from the bottom. 1 wrap 1/3 up. 1 final full wrap over the top.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 On 7/26/2019 at 11:08 AM, daviddvm said: LYNX BLACK CAT IRONS Stage 1 Hello, my name is David. I live with my wife and daughter in Houston, TX. I am a veterinarian and accustomed to working with cats, so it is an honor to have been chosen as a tester of the Lynx Black Cat Irons. Growing up in Oklahoma, my Dad gave me a set of Walter Hagen Blades, persimmon woods, and a Gary Player Black Knight Putter. In junior high, I started playing with neighborhood friends. We had no idea what we were doing, but we had fun. (Our favorite part of a round of golf was a root beer float at the turn.) During college, I worked summers on a golf course so I could play. Starting out as a veterinarian, it was difficult for me to find time to play golf. For the last 10 years, I have not had to work as much which has allowed me to play weekly games of golf. I have become more passionate about the game. Last summer, our family was fortunate enough to visit the Monterey Peninsula. I played both Pebble Beach and Spyglass. (I was in heaven but did not have enough money to stay!) Currently my handicap is 15, but my Arccos Caddie after playing 16 rounds list my handicap as 13. I had a swing evaluation last winter at GolfTech. Watching the video allowed me to understand the improper mechanics in my swing as well as many proper mechanics. I have been working very hard to correct the improper mechanics. My ball flight has always been a fade to a slice. Implementing the teachings of Danny Maude and Clay Ballard (TopSpeedGolf) my ball flight currently is much straighter. Occasionally, I hit a slight draw, but my main miss is generally to the right. My tempo is smooth with a more effortless swing. I typically hit a 7 iron 150 yds. The first set of irons that I was fitted for was a set of Ping i3 Blades with Cushin Z Z65 shaft plus 0.5” and a 1* upright. My current clubs are Titleist 716 AP1 with KuroKage stiff graphite shafts plus 0.5” and a 1* upright. The specs I gave for my order of the Lynx Black Cat Irons were plus 0.5” and 1* upright, but I intentionally went with a regular graphite shaft to keep the weight of the overall club as light as possible. One of the things that I learned from my experience of winning the D7 Wilson Driver in the SpyStaffSlam 2019 Masters was that this shaft and driver combination was lighter than my current driver (so I have changed to a lighter shaft on my TS2 Driver). Lighter is more beneficial with a slow tempo swing that I am trying to encourage. I ordered oversized grips because I have large hands. The Black Cat irons ($650 in steel, $720 in graphite) are a hollow design that use a variable thickness face to improve ball speed consistency from on-center to off-center hits. Each head is filled with a polymer to support a thin face of just 2.0 millimeters. The standard set is six clubs, 5-iron through pitching wedge. In order to compare the new clubs to my current player improvement clubs, I plan on using the new clubs every time I play/practice until the evaluation is over. I will be evaluating their forgiveness, length, and accuracy to see if they get to stay in my bag. Through Arccos Caddie tracking and tour analytics, I will see if my play/statics with my irons are improving with the new clubs. As a former AP1 player. I look forward to your thoughts on the Black Cats. Nice experience at Pebble. I'm not envious in the least. daviddvm, JohnSmalls and goaliewales14 3 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting to try those clubs for a while to see if I liked them more than my Titleist.

knightsofnii Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm looking to see if these will hit consistent distance, have a good dispersion, be able to flight high/low/L/R and feel good. The basic stuff I'm curious to see if, with such high lofts, if these can hang with GI or PD irons distance wise, and if so, I'd be curious to know how the spin rates compare and if the spin rates are also consistent. goaliewales14 and HardcoreLooper 2 Quote RADspeed 10.5, Evenflow Riptide CB 6.0s Bio Cell 3/4w, PXV 6.0s; AMP 3h 19deg Aldila RIP R.

I know 1 or 2 of you mentioned it in your Stage 1's, but what are you specifically looking for in these irons? Is what you're looking for something you love about your current set, or something you would love to change? I'm glad you ask. What I am looking for in Irons, and specifically these? More forgiveness on miss hits. currently if I have an open face it will bend at a 90 degree angle and hit what ever is to my right. Closed face and I have a noodle that will strike anything to my left. Yes, we all strive for the sweet spot on every hit, as do I. Realistically though that's not a certainty. goaliewales14 1 Quote F7+ w/Fujikura Pro XLR8 Graphite Shaft 3-I MPF H-Series3B2M graphite Shaft w/Winn Dri-Tac grip mid STi Irons 5-SW KURO KAGE 70IR Flex-R Lamkin Grips King F6 Hybrid Matrix Red Tie HQ4 Graphite Shaft Forged FGT 60* wedge KURO KAGE 70R SS cross Comfort grip O-Putter 1W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 PLEASE NOTE! I'm passing on a message from Stephanie Zinser...Owner of Lynx Golf. Hello testers, First off, we wanted to thank each of you for the interest in Lynx Golf. We are longtime fans of MyGolfSpy.com and look forward to hearing more about your experience. We read with some dismay that the majority, if not all testers, received clubs in a damaged box, which is totally unacceptable and of great embarrassment to us. We have never had any club turn up in beaten-up boxes in the UK and Europe in over 8 years of business. It is true that some of our packaging will be different from any other golf brand, because in August 2018 we went single use plastic free as we felt it was irresponsible to do anything else for the sake of our planet. The U.S. market is new to us and we will be immediately looking at the courier used with these shipments, as well as having an extra outer box for single sets like this to prevent further damage in future. This is something we will remedy immediately and have taken up with our PR company who shipped these items. Finally we noted one or two comments regarding our website; this is because we are about to launch a new website in conjunction with our entry into the USA. Stay tuned and thank you again! Kind regards Stephanie Zinser Owner, Lynx Golf GolfSpy_BNG, daviddvm, kardboard.kid and 5 others 8 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards Stephanie Zinser Owner, Lynx Golf Nice of them to comment and it is a great sign of their level of engagement as well as commitment to building the brand. I also think that the comments that that were provided in the initial reviews added some value as they don’t generally see the end product as delivered. Hoping to be able to watch this brand grow in the near future.
