Equipment editor Hannah Holden takes a look at the new Wilson D7 Forged irons that promise higher ball speeds with high launch and spin

Wilson D7 Forged irons review

The new Wilson D7 Forged irons aim to combine distance, looks and feel to create a pure players iron with true tour level appeal for the 2020 season.

Watch the review below where I’m joined by Andrew Wright to give them the full NCG treatment…

Let us know what you think in the comments below or you can tweet me.

For more information on the Wilson D7 Forged irons, head to the next page…

Wilson D7 Forged irons: The technology

The D7 Forged feature a new clubhead design which is more compact with a smaller toe height, thinner topline and minimal offset for ultimate distance, feel and sound.

Power hole technology has been advanced to incorporate a urethane filled power chamber inside the head and lower on the club face that flexes on impact. This means the inner face can flex while reducing vibration for a more solid and consistent feel at impact.

The thin club face is forged from soft 8620 Carbon steel and features a wider-sole supported by the Power Chambers. A thicker sole means power holes can be deeper and more aggressive and therefore reduce the centre of gravity for higher ball speeds with higher launch and spin.

Find out how I got on with the new Wilson D7 Forged irons on the next page…

Wilson D7 Forged irons: The results

First and foremost, the Wilson D7 Forged irons are a treat visually. There is no noticeable offset and a nice slim topline which means at address, they look very inviting to hit, and that can only instil confidence.

But how do they perform?

These clubs are not just for show.

From the first shot the most impressive thing was the ball speed. Without even looking at numbers, I immediately felt it was coming off the face hot, and then I looked up to see my ball sail over the green. The speed claims are no joke – these things really travel.

The height you can achieve with these irons is also impressive but the ball flight remains stable and controlled. Often with high launching clubs it’s easy to lose shot shape or see loads of movement in the wind – this just wasn’t the case with these irons. The high smash factor helped create strike after strike that was extremely solid and I felt I could still control my flight.

Normally my 7-iron flies 148 yards on average and I was comfortably carrying the 7-iron in this set 161 yards without having to go at it. On a good day Andy’s current 9-iron travels around 150 yards in the air but with the same club from the D7 Forged set, he was flying it 170 yards uphill – that’s obscene. Obviously this is a serious gain in yardage which many golfers would love.

If you’re looking for a set of irons that are easy to launch and will give you more distance without sacrificing feel, then I’d highly recommend giving these a try.

For the price point you can get these irons and and the performance I have seen, these will be a big seller for Wilson in 2020.
