Browning 440 Irons

[JimmyD]

Picked up a set of Browning 440 irons at the local tip shop today. Super shallow faces and very unusual looking. Thought they were worth grabbing.Anyone know much about them? Cheers Jim.

They are rubbish, should have left them there.

[JimmyD]

Haha. Cost me $8 so I won't lose too much sleep.

Late 70’s low profile concept iron. Not very successful and faded into golf club obscurity!

$8 may be overs unless u live in a toad filled environment.

Chris Bonython used a set of those to produce miraculous golf in the late 70's/early 80's.
He may have been the importer.

That said, he could play miraculous golf with anything.

They also had reverse taper grips when they were new, I hit them alright as a youngster (never owned but borrowed from the club I was working at) as mentioned before they were rubbish - I think ronin rafferty used to play them.

Who was first with that low profile look Browning or Lynx?
Remember seeing a few sets of low profile Lynx in the 80’s.

They look like a various lofted set of chippers [emoji1787][emoji1787]

PGF also made a very similar club called Status LP (low profile) as a guess early 80's

Polish them up, stick them on display, have the odd game with them. 99.99% of people will think they're cool old clubs.

Freddy Couples might have won the Masters with similar clubs, can't be that bad with some decent shafts.

I think he was Lynx man early on and they would be the ones I was thinking of and mentioned earlier.

I agree Hatch - he was a Lynx man
