Lynx Parallax
I played golf for four years in high school and then quit playing for six years and picked it up again. I've been playing for 2 years now since I started again and my game has improved by at least 10 strokes. I think I never forgot the fundamentals I learned when I was younger, and don't make many of the mental mistakes I used to make. I'm a 12 handicap. Lynx Parallax is the first set of clubs I ever owned. I have the pre-cavity back model that are really hard to hit. Small, narrow blades, firm steel shaft, ver little offset and not so good a grip. You have to hit it dead center for distance but it feels so great when you do. Any mis-hit will result in a hook or slice and/or loss of distance. But the club gives you incredible feed back. You really know when you left the club head open or slowed down in your down swing. When you hit the ball dead center the club feels almost like hitting thin air, a feeling you want to store in your muscle memory. My opinion: I really love these clubs. This is a great club to learn with. You could probably find a cheap set online for $20-$40. (That's all they are worth since they are at least a decade old, and Lynx went out of business.) If you believe in the saying "it's the golfer not the club," then I would recommend buying these clubs and using it to learn how to play. I really think all the new technology user-friendly clubs out there really don't teach one the fundamentals of the game. I see golfer with wacky swings hitting it straight because of the wide club head. But if you want to learn the traditional down the line Tiger or Mickelson type swing this is the set to practice on. You can really work these clubs once you have learned how to swing different strokes/shots. Final word: learn with these and then move to a forged-iron with high workability. Customer Service You can probably find these online for $20. |
