Wilson has been steadily rebuilding its reputation in the metalwood category, and the Dynapwr line has been central to that revival. The 2023 launch was a pleasant surprise because of its blend of performance and value, so my expectations were high for the 2025 version. So, how did we find it? We put it to the test to see if Wilson has delivered on those expectations or not…

Wilson 2025 Dynapwr Hybrid Review: NCG Summary
NCG SUMMARY
The Wilson 2025 Dynapwr Hybrid might not reach the absolute heights of the premium brands, but it offers outstanding bang for your buck. For golfers looking for a powerful, forgiving, and confidence-boosting hybrid at a sensible price, this is one of the best-value options in 2025.
PROS
- Excellent distance and ball speed
- Strong forgiveness levels
- Confidence-inspiring at address
- Fantastic value for money
CONS
- Feel and consistency still a notch below the market leaders
First Impressions
At first glance, I thought the Wilson 2025 Dynapwr Hybrid was immediately striking. The black-and-red colour scheme feels bold but familiar, and the club sits beautifully behind the ball. The shaping is clean and confidence-inspiring, with just enough visible tech on the sole to remind you this is a modern, powerful hybrid. It looks like a club designed to perform without overcomplicating things.
It also adopts the familiar colours to that of the first iteration; red and black. I think this is a cool colour scheme which gives it a great look and really works well with the Wilson name.
NCG Review
I tested the 22° four-hybrid and was left impressed with the numbers I was seeing on the trackman. My ball speeds were north of 140 mph which helped produce an average carry distance of 230-yard. This is very strong for a hybrid in this category.
Forgiveness is generally excellent. My off-centred hits still produced playable results. However, there were notable drop-offs. A low-face strike dropped to 196 carry, about 20 yards short of my better strikes, while a poor toe hit carried 203 yards and rolled to 225 yards. Still, these are respectable misses compared to many other hybrids I have tested previously.
Compared with the likes of Ping, TaylorMade, and Titleist, the feel is not quite as premium, and those clubs may hold up better on mishits. But in terms of value-for-money distance and forgiveness, Wilson has delivered.
The sound has also been improved. A new internal rib structures creates a muted but strong acoustic, giving a solid sensation at impact.

This year’s model is built around Wilson’s PKR2 360 AI-designed variable thickness face, designed to maintain ball speed across a larger area. This introduces more hot spots across the face to ensure more forgiveness on toe, heel, high, and low strikes. A welcomed inclusion for those of us who don’t always hit the ball out of the middle of the club.
It also features a 455 steel face insert, ensuring strong ball speeds. A low centre of gravity promotes high launch and easy playability, making it user-friendly for a wide range of handicaps.
The main drawback is its lack of adjustability. Many brands now allow loft and lie tuning in their hybrids, and Wilson has opted not to. While this helps keep the price attractive, some golfers may miss the ability to dial in precise numbers.
Overall, I think the second-generation Wilson Dynapwr Hybrid is a respectable follow-on from its predecessor. It offers excellent distance, forgiveness, and a confidence-inspiring look behind the ball. While it lacks adjustability compared to some premium rivals, its value proposition and performance make it a serious contender for golfers wanting reliability and power in their hybrid slot.
