Wilson Dynapower Irons Review – Forgiving And Good For High Handicappers

 

“Wilson is relaunching their Dynapower series of golf clubs and you better believe that the Dynapower irons have also been revived.”

For 2023, Wilson is looking to the past through the lens of present-day technology. The new Wilson Dynapower irons are the first Dynapower irons since 1973. Compared to the last 1973 Wilson Dynapower irons, the 2023 models look very different.

And of course, that’s how it should be. It would be a bit concerning if the Wilson Dynapower irons looked a lot like their predecessors because A LOT has changed in that time. So in the following review, we will be giving you a better insight to these new irons, telling you what they’re all about and of course, what type of players would benefit the most from them. Let’s take a look at the new Wilson Dynapower irons.

Key Features of the Wilson Dynapower Irons 

AI Design

Wilson has finally jumped on the AI bandwagon.

For the first time, they used artificial intelligence to help them comb through thousands of face thickness variations and shaping styles. They surmised that about 85% of players mis-hit near the toe so with the help of AI computer design, they made the Wilson Dynapower irons accommodating to those kinds of mis-hits.

Longer Hosels

The hosels on these irons are pretty long; but it’s for a œreason.

A longer hosel means a smoother transition from shaft to club head. This gives the Wilson Dynapower a more pleasant look at point of address. Indeed, the Wilson Dynapower hosel blends almost seamlessly into the club head.

High MOI

Wilson used more mass in the toe area to stabilize the head on mis-hits.

This same feature allows for a bit of a correction for shots made closer to the toe. In the end, you get straighter shots and more forgiveness.

Stock Shafts

The stock shafts that the Wilson Dynapower irons come with include a steel offering in the KBS Max Ultralite Steel  variety and a graphite UST Recoil Dart 65.

Sound and Feel

While the sound and feel aren’t anything to write home about, the Wilson Dynapower irons do have a crisp click when you pure them. The sound is very different when you mis-hit so you will know exactly where you made contact on the face.

Shaping

Mid and high handicappers will love the shaping of the heads. There is considerable offset that gives way to a fairly deep face profile. The topline is moderate and so is the sole width. The hosel looks really low-profile and shouldn’t be a jarring site even to new players.

Moderate Cavity Backs

Wilson Dynapower irons don’t have a very deep cavity back which gives them a better look both in the bag and behind the ball. The undercut cavity is also moderate which works in tandem with the strong lofts. However, the Wilson Dynapower irons do have a very low CG so less experienced players will still be able to get good launch angles out of them.

Club	Loft	Lie	Offset	Length
4-iron	18	60	0.256”	39”
5-iron	21	61	0.236”	38.5”
6-iron	24	61.5	0.216”	38”
7-iron	27	62	0.196”	37.5”
8-iron	32	63	0.176”	37”
9-iron	37	63.5	0.156	36.5”
PW	42	64	0.136”	36”
GW	47	64	0.116”	35.75”
SW	53	64	0.086”	35.5”

The Wilson Dynapower Irons Overall 

“All-in-all, the Wilson Dynapower irons are solid game improvement irons that are surprisingly workable.”

While the lofts are strong, the CG is nice and low. Mid handicappers should be able to learn to work the ball up-and-down with these irons fairly easily. The progressive offset also allows for more control around the green and better distance with the long irons.
