Lynx Master Model iron set

Recommended Posts

     I was given a set of Lynx Master Model irons a while back when someone was cleaning out their garage, they sat in my garage for a year then a couple weeks ago I decided to try them.  These things are working great, haven't left the bag since I put them in.  They don't look like an iron I would like thats why they sat for so long,  very sharp leading edge and a fat shot is my bad shot. I consider myself a picker vs digger but I'm always worried about burying the club. So far no problem. If anyone has any info on these as to what year they where made and what the shafts are please share. Mine have steel shafts that feel stiff, but the labels are gone.

I bought a used set of Master Models when I was in High School in 1971.  They were at 17-4 cast irons with minimal perimeter weighting to increase clubhead MOI.  They weren't much more forgiving than blades on mishits and nowhere near as forgiving as Pings.  As you mention, their is no leading edge radius or bounce in the narrow soles.  I'd buy forged blades if I wanted a classic set or clubs with modern tech for regular play.  With that being said, I played them for 15 years and and by all means play them if they work for you!

A good friend of mine still uses the lynx master model irons.... I think he bought them new in the early 70s. Never used anything else, top player always between 2-4 handicap....amazing to think they're older than me but still perform brilliantly..... Like my ping k3s, made to last out of an indestructible material ha

  I lined the Lynx up next to my Titleist 990's with s300's in them and the step patterns are the same, is it safe to say the Lynx shafts are also s300?

I believe True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts were introduced shortly after your Lynx irons were manufactured. Most likely your shafts are Dynamic stiff if they match the step pattern of your 990's. Dynamic Gold is just a weight sorted Dynamic shaft.

looking at two five irons. somehow I ended up with a set of each.

 

the measurement from the factory ferrule end to the first step on the regular shaft is ten inches.....for stiff - closer to seven inches.

 

the other steps are all the same, reg and stiff, so the tell-tale is hosel to first step.

 

1971 you say? man oh man.

these heads are good sized.

I ought to slap some new grips on and take them for a ride.

 

currently playing:
FT-5 - D
Cally FT hybrids
Hogan Edge GS, 4-PW
Vokey Oil Can 52, 56
Ping Anser 2

TM FlexTech Lite/Titleist StaDry

    Thanks, mine are stiff. You should give them a run, I like the way mine work. These things feel great at impact.

I have been playing lynx master models since 1998 and I love them. I've had to replace my pitching wedge twice because I left it somewhere on the course. Thankfully they are readily available on ebay for cheap. The shafts are dynamic stiff. I assume my grandpa bought them in 1976 because the sw has the liberty bell celebrating the bicentennial.

   Nice to hear the old irons are still mixing it up.
