What’s new? How much does it cost? And, what are the performance gains? Max McVittie brings you the lowdown on the new Wilson DYNAPWR Forged irons.
There are few brands who can match Wilson’s reputation when it comes to irons. For decades now they have produced tour-proven models that have been trusted by some of the world’s best.
Famously, Padraig Harrington has had an association with the brand that has lasted over 25 years. One that has seen him be crowned Champion Golfer of the Year on two occasions.
The launch of the DYNAPWR Forged irons, builds on that reputation. It combines the brand’s traditional forging expertise with modern, AI‑driven engineering to create an all-new player’s iron.
Here’s a closer look at how Wilson has made this so…
First up is Wilson’s PKR‑CUP face design which has been a constant within all of the models within the Dynapwr range. It is designed to wrap the face material onto the sole of the club, so that it creates a thinner, more flexible hinge region.
In turn, this will then increase the ball speed across the face, as well as the performance on low‑face strikes and promoting a higher launch where many golfers struggle.
Wilson states this design also moves the weld line away from the ball striking area, which essentially means, both you and I, will be able to access more forgiveness and better consistency.
A slight change to the design of these Dynapwr irons from the previous models is that the power holes have been removed o allow the face to flex a bit more efficiently.
It also helps to deliver an improved feel and sound. Wilson has also used AI simulation to optimise the club face thickness to enhance flex and energy transfer at impact.
It is believed this will help to unlock faster ball speeds and strong distance numbers, without losing the precision better players demand.

Wilson DYNAPWR Forged Irons: A Closer Look
Performance wise, these irons are designed to promote fast ball speeds, a consistent launch, a forged feel and plenty of forgiveness without that bulky feel.
They are very much a modern interpretation of a forged players iron, prioritising speed and stability while retaining workability.
Despite the compact appearance, the DYNAPWR Forged irons feature a high MOI and lowered centre of gravity.
