Wilson Dynapwr Irons Review: Big forgiveness, even more value
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.
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 find out.

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, and those struggle with consistency and need as much help they can get on off-centre strikes. The slight draw bias will also help golfers who tend to slice the ball.
Looks & Feel
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, we agreed that they look sleek and inviting.
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.

Performance & how they compare
These irons compete with the best in the game-improvement category, especially in forgiveness and distance. The clubs with stronger lofts deliver impressive distance, but spin is still reasonable, meaning you won’t struggle with stopping power.
Even on a bad strike, the carry on longer clubs remained strong, which speaks to the impressive forgiveness of these irons. And to be perfectly honest, plenty of golfers who don’t usually use game-improvement irons would probably do a good job working a 4-iron from this set into their bag.
The slight draw bias was noticeable—great for slicers, but if you already hit a draw, you may need to adjust your setup.
Compared to Cobra Darkspeed irons, they feel significantly better. They also edge out the Callaway Paradym AI Smoke in terms of feedback and sound.
If you’re a lower 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.
Testing Data
Club hit | Carry (Yds) | Total distance (Yds) | Spin rate (RPM) | Ball speed (Mph) |
8-iron | 173 | 181 | 6,000 | 120 |
5-iron | 226 | 233 | 3,400 | 133 |
Should you buy the Wilson Dynapwr irons?
If you're after a club that delivers all the performance and forgiveness you've come to expect from a modern Game Improvement set without breaking the bank, the Wilson Dynapwr should be at the top of your list. Golfers looking to step into their first new set of irons will find the length, launch and forgiveness of the Dynapwr ample, while the modern, powerful design retains the feel of a premium iron.
With this being said, it's worth noting that the Dynapwr do sit very firmly in the game improvement category, meaning if you're working your way down to a mid-handicap and want a club that allows you to experiment a little more with shaping shots, you'll likely have to look at a higher-end model.
Final verdict
Wilson's 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 offer a fantastic balance of power and playability for the improving golfer.
For the £699 price, the new Wilson Dynapwr Irons represent one of the best value for money sets on the market this season.
