What’s new? How much does it cost? And how does it perform? Jack Backhouse brings you the low down on the Wilson 2025 Dynapwr hybrid

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

4 star review
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.

About the author

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.
