Game Improvement Driver

Lynx doesn't get much shelf space in American golf shops, and that's a shame, because the 2020 Predator is exactly the kind of driver a mid-to-high handicapper should at least try before spending three times as much elsewhere. The British brand has been quietly building value-focused clubs for decades, and the Predator is their pitch to the everyday golfer: a full 460cc head, a big sweet spot, and no gimmicks.

This is not a tour driver. It doesn't want to be. There's no adjustable hosel to fiddle with, no sliding weights, no app. You get one head shape built to launch the ball high and keep your misses playable. For a lot of golfers, that's not a compromise, it's a relief.

The honest question with any budget driver is whether it holds up on off-center hits, since that's where most amateurs live. The Predator's oversized profile is built around exactly that reality. If you hit the center of the face every time, you don't need this club. If you don't, keep reading.

• Mid and high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness from a full 460cc head without paying flagship prices.
• Players who find adjustable drivers confusing or fiddly and would rather have one fixed setup that just works.
• Anyone replacing a driver that's more than five or six years old and wants a modern head on a budget.
• Newer golfers buying their first proper driver who need confidence at address more than workability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Lynx Predator driver adjustable?

No. The 2020 Predator has a fixed hosel, so you choose your loft at purchase and it stays put. That keeps the price down and removes weight from the heel area, but it does mean you should think about which loft suits your swing speed before you buy rather than planning to tweak it later.

Is the Lynx Predator good for high handicappers?

Yes, that's the golfer it was built for. The full 460cc head puts as much forgiveness into the design as the rules allow, so mishits lose less distance and stay closer to your target line. It's a game improvement driver in the plainest sense: it improves the shots you hit badly, which is most of them for a high handicapper.

Who makes Lynx golf clubs, and are they any good?

Lynx is a British-owned brand with a long history, including a strong run in the 80s and 90s when its clubs were played on tour. Today the company focuses on value for club golfers rather than tour presence. The build quality is legitimate; what you give up versus the big names is mostly marketing budget and adjustability, not playability.

How does the Lynx Predator compare to drivers from TaylorMade or Callaway?

Head to head with a same-year flagship, the Predator gives up adjustability and some of the exotic face and crown materials the big brands advertise. What it keeps is the thing that matters most for average golfers, a 460cc forgiving head at a fraction of the price. If you're not the kind of player who adjusts loft settings between rounds, the practical gap is much smaller than the price gap.

What loft should I choose in the Lynx Predator since I can't adjust it later?

Go higher than your ego wants. Most amateurs launch the ball too low with too little carry, and a higher loft also reduces sidespin, which means smaller slices. If your driver swing speed is average or below, roughly under 95 mph, lean toward the higher lofted option available. Faster swingers can go lower, but when in doubt between two lofts, take the higher one.
