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

For those of you who have a tendency to pull the ball off the tee, then Wilson’s new Dynapwr LS driver could be a game changer. With a tour inspired look, this driver looks to deliver quicker ball and club head speeds as well a lower the spin rate.

Let’s take a look and see whether the latest offering in Dynapwr range is the driver for you with our Wilson Dynapwr LS Driver Review

4.5 star review
NCG SUMMARY

A sleek design that promotes a low spin rate on each strike to maximise distances off the tee. The profile is compacted and the face is deep making it more suited towards faster swinging and lower handicap golfers.

If you opt for this driver then you’ll never miss a shot out to the left again. The Wilson Dynapwr LS is extremely effective at keeping the ball down the middle or the right of the course.

PROS

  • Has a classic sound
  • Promotes a low spin rate
  • Prevents pull or hook shots

CONS

  • The compact head can be intimidating for some golfers

First Impressions

This is the most compact profile driver Wilson has released for 2025. A smaller driver head, from front to back, than the carbon and MAX models. The face of the driver is also extremely deep, something that wouldn’t look out of place on a long driver model, which is designed to generate lower amounts of spin on each strike.

Generally, I do visually prefer a low spin driver head as a more compact profile suits my eye more. This Wilson Dynapwr LS driver is no different. I love how the driver sits very square behind the ball, as well as the alignment feature on the top of the crown.

Wilson Dynapwr LS Driver Review

This club has been designed and weighted to allow the golfer take the left side of the course out of play by promoting a left to right ball flights. The weights used are heavier than the carbon offering, a 6g and a 12g head weight that can be flipped up and down to allow the spin rate to be increased or decreased by a higher amount.

NCG Verdict

Straight off the bat the driver was extremely effective in stopping the ball from leaking out to the left. This was evident even on mishit strikes when the ball was coming out of the toe of the club. A big positive for Wilson’s technological innovations in the driver head.

For those whose bad shots are ones that are a hook shot or a straight pull left and a quick swinging player then this really is the ideal option. The miss left is generally reserved for the better players hence it’s designed for faster swinging and lower handicap golfers. Not once could I get the ball to start left or manage to manipulate a fade which is something I personally don’t mind off the tee. If a fade is your preferred ball flight then this isn’t going to be the best option for you.

Consistency was a major positive of the driver, producing a tight dispersion. All three shots landed in the same area with an average carry of around 260 yards. This data was promising for me considering I was struggled to hit the ball out of the face of the club throughout much of testing.

Although, with its anti-draw bias the balls were ending up a bit more left of the target than what I intended.

Throughout testing there was a jump in club head speed, an average of 107mph, from the other Wilson models with the head being more aerodynamic due to a slightly higher skirt to allow the club to move through the air faster. The ball speed was also hot off the face of the driver with an average of 159mph. Smaller club head irons do tend to deliver quicker ball speeds and that sentiment hasn’t changed here.

Overall, I think this is a great driver. It feels really good and makes a classic sound upon impact which I’m a big fan of. However, compared to the other 2025 Wilson Dynapwr the head did feel like a little bit of hard work because it was so small and deep. At address it isn’t a very confidence inspiring driver and reminded me of the original Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond.

For the Wilson Dynapwr LS driver to work for me, I feel I would need to get fitted for a shaft and to have the head weights optimised so that it would suit my swing and ball flight. If you are looking for a driver to help correct a tendency to hook the ball then this will certainly do the trick.

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.
