Wilson might fly a little under the radar in today’s iron market, but their history is hard to ignore. They have more major wins than any other brand. The new Wilson Dynapwr irons are designed to offer distance, forgiveness, and easy launch, but at a more affordable price than many of the big rivals.
The Dynapower name itself goes all the way back to the 1950s, and now it’s been brought into the modern era. We tested the first ‘re-iteration’ back in 2023, when they were Dynapower, and they’re back again in 2025 as Dynapwr.
I tested them both indoors and out to find out whether Wilson’s latest offering is genuinely worth a spot in your bag.
Who Are They Aimed At?
These irons are firmly in the game improvement category. There’s strong lofts, thick toplines, and a fair amount of offset. They’re built for mid-to-high handicappers who want to hit it higher, straighter, and further.
If you’re someone who occasionally struggles with consistency or just wants more confidence standing over the ball, the Dynapower irons will definitely appeal. Better players may find the feel and shaping a bit too bulky, but there’s no doubt these irons do a good job of making the game a little bit easier.
If you want even more help, Wilson also offer Dynapwr Max irons. These are a little bigger, higher launching and even more forgiving versions of the Dynapwr irons. They’re designed to be the easiest to hit of the Wilson range.

The Tech
Wilson say that the Dynapwr irons have been designed ‘from the inside out’ to try and aid performance.
As with all game improvement irons, they have a low CG position and high MOI. More weight is distributed towards the toe, and this all combines to encourage more speed, forgiveness and a higher launch.
A new ‘Velocity Optimisation Channel’ is positioned in the sole, behind the face. This adds more flexibility to improve ball speeds further.
The standard Dynapwr iron features a reduced offset, thinner topline and narrower sole compared to the Dynapwr Max.
At the back of the iron, the Energy Transfer Chassis is a supportive frame which provides plenty of stability and energy transfer at impact. It’s also said to optimise sound and feel too.
Wilson Dynapwr Irons Review
Looks
There’s no hiding that these are game improvement irons. The topline is thick, the sole is wide, and the offset is very noticeable, especially in the longer irons. But that’s exactly what the target golfer wants — confidence.
The cavity design is modern without being over-the-top. There’s a slightly industrial, techy look to the back, with Wilson branding that’s bold but not flashy.
It’s not the most subtle, but the club does do a good job of looking more compact that in actually is, especially down by the ball.
Compared to the likes of the Cobra DS-Adapt or Callaway Elyte, the Dynapower looks good. It’s not quite as premium as the Elyte, but I was still a fan.
Feel
For a cast game improvement iron, the feel is pretty responsive. There’s a crisp, high-pitched sound at impact. It was more of a crack, but it seemed to match the fast ball speeds well.
Even on slight mishits, there’s very little sting or harshness. That’s because these irons are built to cover up your bad swings, not highlight them!
Performance
This is where the Dynapower irons really show their strengths. On average, the 7-iron carried just over 140 yards, which is very similar to the likes of the Cobra DS-Adapt and Callaway Elyte that we also tested. Ball speed was particularly impressive, averaging around 101 mph, which just edged out some of the more expensive competitors.
Spin came in at around 4700rpm, which is solid for this category. It’s enough to hold greens while still delivering plenty of distance. The low centre of gravity helps launch the ball easily, and even when I caught it low on the face, shots still launched well and flew straight.
That said, the 27° 7 iron loft does lead to a slightly lower peak height and more rollout on the greens, which could be a consideration for players who rely on a soft landing. But if you tend to struggle with height or swing speed, that extra rollout might actually help.
Out on the course, the long irons were especially forgiving. The 5-iron, in particular, was easy to hit and felt very stable — even when contact wasn’t perfect.
Wilson Dynapwr Irons Verdict
Wilson might not shout as loud as some of the bigger brands, but the Dynapowr irons deserve serious attention if you’re searching for distance, forgiveness, and good value.
They won’t be for everyone – the looks and feel are very much in the game improvement mould – but they do exactly what they’re supposed to: they go long, they go straight, and they give you plenty of help when you need it.
At around £750 for a full set, they also represent excellent value. You’re getting performance that competes with much more expensive irons, and in some cases, even beats them.
The Wilson Dynapower irons are proof that you don’t need to spend over a grand to get quality performance. If you want a confidence-inspiring iron that’s long, easy to hit, and great value for money, these could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Would I Use Them?
If I were a mid-handicapper looking for a forgiving, powerful iron that boosts confidence and doesn’t cost a fortune, the Dynapower would definitely be on my shortlist.
Personally, I prefer something a bit sleeker with more feedback, so they’re not the ideal fit for my game.
