Wilson has released the latest Dynapwr series of irons, promising forgiveness and maximum ball speeds. With new technology including a Cup Face design and A.I.-generated variable face technology, Wilson aims to deliver optimal ball speeds, distance, and consistent launch windows. The Velocity Optimization Channel located in the sole and behind the face further boosts ball speed. While the shelf appeal of these irons may be average, the performance is where they shine.
During testing, the Dynapwr irons displayed impressive ball speed and distance numbers, with manageable spin rates even with strong lofts. The irons were able to retain ball speed on off-center hits, appealing to inconsistent ball strikers. However, the focus on maximizing ball speed seems to have come at a cost – the feel of these irons is described as firm and clicky at impact, lacking the desired feedback for many players. Compared to other game improvement iron offerings, the Dynapwr irons fell short in terms of feel.
Despite the impressive distance output and reasonable spin profiles, the overall feel and aesthetics of the Dynapwr irons left something to be desired for some testers. The lack of symmetry in the shaping and hefty offset may not appeal to all golfers, although aesthetics are subjective. While the Dynapwr irons may compete well with forgiving and distance-focused irons, the trade-off in terms of looks and feel may not be worth it for some players.
Retailing at an RRP of £750 or $899.99 in 5-PW, the Dynapwr irons offer a competitive price point for the technology and performance they provide. For players seeking forgiveness and distance in their irons, the Dynapwr series may be a viable option. However, those who prioritize feel and aesthetics in their golf clubs may find other options more suitable. Ultimately, the decision to invest in the Dynapwr irons will depend on personal preferences and priorities on the course.
