Lynx Prowler VT Driver with Switch-Face Technology: The first driver to feature interchangeable club faces

Lynx Golf has launched its new Prowler VT Driver featuring Switch-Face Technology, the first driver on the market to feature interchangeable club faces.

The Prowler VT Driver, through Switch-Face Technology, uses interchangeable faces, allowing golfers the ability to adjust the true loft of their club.

Unlike other adjustable drivers, which change loft by rotating the clubhead around the hosel, the new driver from Lynx possesses an entirely removable face that is secured to the clubhead via attachment screws. According to the company, this feature allows golfers to change the true loft of the hitting surface while keeping the clubhead square to the ball.

At launch, the company offers faces in five different lofts (8,9,10,11 and 12) with varying open and closed settings (2-degrees closed, 1-degree closed, square, 1-degree open and 2-degrees open), giving golfers 25 different face and loft angles, with more to come.

Speaking on the impact that the new technology will have, CEO and co-owner of Lynx Golf, Steve Elford stated

“Lynx has always been a brand that pushed the boundaries of equipment design in order to help players of all skill levels improve. Switch-Face Technology represents the latest in a long line of innovations that have changed the world of golf clubs for the better”

The Prowler VT features an increased MOI, made possible by re-distributing weight once occupied by an adjustable hosel to the perimeter of the driver head via the face’s attachment screws.

The Effective Energy Transfer within each club face aims to provide golfers with increased ball speed and greater forgiveness, through the system equally dispersing the ball’s impact force throughout the hitting surface.

The Prowler VT with Switch-Face Technology will be sold with a free face of the customer’s choice, with individual face’s available separately. The new driver from Lynx comes in Orange/Black or White/Black colorways, and each one comes with a UST Mamiya Recoil shaft and a Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Grip. However, additional shaft and grip options are available at a charge.

Ever since they refused to renew their sponsorship of Club Pro Guy, I have boycotted Lynx.

Performance and value of the idea aside…, calling this, 5 screw bracket plate, a “Technology” just downgrades the whole golf equipment industry.

I think it’s interesting how people will torch this idea with never hitting the club. Yet, if it was put out by their favorite manufacturer, it would be revolutionary and great (again without them ever hitting a ball with the club). I’ve not had a chance to hit any of their new offerings that were released in Europe. The bag of Lynx clubs that Laura Davies won the Sr. Women’s open definitely looked interesting. Lynx did make some very good clubs way back when, maybe this is going to help with a resurgence.

  I agree. Lynx has more exposure in Europe and is very popular there as I understand. No reason not to give this a go we do most everything else with the Big Boys already. I could see changing the face up or down without impacting the lie of the club. Simple logic and easy to do without dropping $600+ on the “newest technology.”

Has Lynx ever made anything good? I remember a friend was selling a set of Lynx irons that he couldn’t hit. I tried them, I couldn’t hit them either. Another friend tried, he couldn’t hit them either … the were truly the worst golf club I’d ever tried.

While I find the driver visually clunky with all those screws in the face, I like the concept of an adjust driver face. I’m not familar with other brands who did this, but didn’t TM do this with a wedge a few years back (replaceable face?).

Not it’d be recommended, but what if the entire bulge roll / loft could all be set by the user. A clubface that is fully pivotable yet solid enough to still hit max COR.

I’m still waiting for ‘adjustable irons’ to come out at some point also.. Only so much more they can do to ‘entice’ or market t6hese things now-a-days…

    I don’t think Gianni is an idiot, and I certainly didn’t mean to imply such. I was just offering a correction. DnA is not a huge company and he may not have known about it. Or Lynx fed him some faulty info. Either way, not a big deal, just something for consideration.

  The DNA face was only removable, not interchangable with other lofts. Very big difference. The article is correct.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
