LYNX PREDATOR II £199.00

THE LOOK

At 380cc the Lynx Predator II has a small club head that manages to capture the smart look of an earlier age in driver evolution. The simple metallic colour scheme creates an eye catching but understated elegance.

TEC TALK

Lynx have designed a 15% stronger Alpha-Beta forged face that should generate a few extra yards.

PERFORMANCE

On a good day the Lynx Predator II will perform well. A strong, medium trajectory ball flight provides impressive distance. But not every day is good and when struck poorly this driver will make you aware of just how bad you are. For this reason, the Lynx Predator II is best suited to golfers who consistently strike a good ball from the tee.

TOTAL GOLF VERDICT

For £199 the Lynx Predator II has the look of a more expensive, stylish club. Unfortunately, with the drop in price comes a fall in forgiveness. As it performs admirably when struck well this is a driver for a low handicap golfer who can rely on a consistent strike from the tee.
