Wilson Dynapwr Irons (2025) Review
Are the new Dynapwr irons the most forgiving golf irons that Wilson has ever made? GolfMagic finds out...
Explosive distance, especially in long irons
Great sound and feel for a game-improvement iron
Not the most workable iron—designed for straight shots
Slight draw bias might not suit players who already draw the ball
Wilson has been a sleeper brand in the iron market for years, consistently producing high-quality clubs that often go under the radar compared to the likes of TaylorMade, Callaway, and Titleist.
However, the Dynapwr range has helped Wilson make a name for itself once again, particularly after last year’s Dynapwr Forged Irons became a surprise hit in the players’ distance category.
But what about their game-improvement irons?
While Wilson’s previous models were solid, they never quite stood out against the competition.
That changes this year with the brand-new Wilson Dynapwr irons, a set designed to offer maximum forgiveness, explosive distance, and a premium feel without breaking the bank.
We took Wilson's new irons to Foresight HQ, testing them on the GCQuad launch monitor using a TaylorMade TP5x ball.
Tested:
GolfMagic's equipment experts hit short irons, mid irons, and long irons, collecting performance data and real-world insights to see if these clubs live up to the hype.
Are they Wilson’s best-ever game-improvement irons? And should they be on your radar for 2025?
Let’s find out...

Wilson Dynapwr Irons – Key Pros & Cons
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Extremely forgiving on off-centre strikes | Some may find the plastic back panel a bit distracting |
Explosive distance, especially in long irons | Not the most workable iron—designed for straight shots |
Great sound and feel for a game-improvement iron | Slight draw bias might not suit players who already draw the ball |
Playable for both mid and high handicappers | Not as soft as the Dynapower Forged irons |
Who Are These Irons For?
Wilson has designed these Dynapwr irons with a clear target golfer in mind:
- Mid-to-high handicappers looking for extra distance and forgiveness
- Golfers who struggle with consistency and need more help on off-centre strikes
- Players who want a powerful iron without sacrificing stopping power
- Those who like a clean address look but don’t mind some bulk behind the ball
The slight draw bias will also help golfers who tend to slice the ball.
If you’re a low handicapper or someone who prefers a workable iron with a softer feel, you might be better off with something like the Wilson Dynapwr Forged, Mizuno JPX 923 Forged, or Srixon ZX5 Mk II.
Looks & Feel – Do They Look Like a Premium Iron?
The Dynapwr irons have a modern, confidence-inspiring design. While they’re still game-improvement irons, they aren’t overly chunky at address.
- Topline: Medium thickness, not as bulky as some other GI irons.
- Back Design: A mix of chrome and a plastic panel—the only element that divides opinion.
- Offset: Noticeable but not extreme, helping with launch and forgiveness.
From the top-down view, Jonny and I both agreed that they look sleek and inviting.
"I think they look much better than some older Wilson irons, but I’m not completely in love with them. They remind me a little of the older TaylorMade Stealth irons." - GolfMagic Tester Johnny Percival
The feel is one of the biggest surprises. While some game-improvement irons can feel hard and clicky, these have a solid yet soft impact sensation.
Compared to Cobra Darkspeed irons, they feel significantly better.
They also edge out the Callaway Paradym AI Smoke in terms of feedback and sound.
Performance & Testing Data
Starting with the 8-iron, we hit multiple shots to gather carry distance, spin, and ball speed.
- Carry: 173 yards
- Total Distance: 181 yards
- Spin Rate: 6,000 RPM
- Ball Speed: 120 mph
Verdict: Strong lofts deliver impressive distance, but spin is still reasonable, meaning you won’t struggle with stopping power.
Long Iron Performance – Fairway Finders?
We then tested the 5-iron on a 248-yard par 4, to see how easy it was to hit off the deck and off the tee.
- Carry: 226 yards
- Total Distance: 233 yards
- Ball Speed: 133 mph
- Spin Rate: 3,400 RPM
- Launch Angle: 10°
Even on a bad strike, the carry remained strong, which speaks to the impressive forgiveness of these irons.
"Honestly, I know plenty of golfers who don’t usually use game-improvement irons but would love a 4-iron from this set in their bag." - GolfMagic Tester Johnny Percival
The slight draw bias was noticeable—great for slicers, but if you already hit a draw, you may need to adjust your setup.
Key Takeaway: These irons compete with the best in the game-improvement category, especially in forgiveness and distance.
Should You Buy the Wilson Dynapwr Irons?
Buy if:
✅ You want a long, forgiving iron that’s easy to launch.
✅ You struggle with consistency and need off-centre forgiveness.
✅ You like a powerful, modern design.
✅ You need a draw-biased iron to help eliminate slices.
Avoid if:
❌ You prefer a workable, shot-shaping iron.
❌ You don’t need extra distance from strong lofts.
❌ You want a super-soft forged feel (look at Wilson’s Dynapower Forged instead).
Verdict – One of the Best Value Game-Improvement Irons for 2025
The Wilson Dynapwr Irons are an outstanding option for mid-to-high handicappers looking for forgiveness, power, and feel.
They offer impressive distance, consistent spin, and great forgiveness while still looking and sounding premium.
While there are slightly more forgiving irons out there, these do offer a fantastic balance of power and playability.
For the price (£699), the new Wilson Dynapwr Irons represent one of the best value for money sets on the market this season.
