Another great review btw. Question? If swinging at different speeds 90/80/70mph, wouldn't the shaft then play a big part? Senior shaft for 70mph, Reg/Stiff for 80mph and Stiff/X Stiff for 90+mph. I'm looking at these clubs, and also the Mizuno 245 and Srixon ZX5/7 blended.
@bsmith4u2 under normal conditions where most are shaft sensitive absolutely it would. The reason I keep everything the same when changing speeds so much is it see how much the head changes dynamics without complicating any differences with changing components 👍🏻👍🏻
At age 67, need a little help to get some distance back, these really deliver for me, i still swing on plane, just a little slower. These help a little with loft and weighting, for the money you will struggle to beat these, look good, easy to play and doesn’t scream at you. Played Wilson in my youth, blades then but it’s ironic that i am back with them, great historic golf company deliveing excellence again, the current stable of clubs all look and play well.
Same here Sir. Still have my 1970 Wilson Staff Dynapowers....... just ordered a set of these today.... currently enjoying D9 Forged,... awesome to be back with Wilson's.
It would be great to see a head-to-head against the Mizuno JPX forged, both game improvement with the forged sticker. One is almost half the price though!
Must admit that I haven't looked at the pricing difference, a lot of the time the media samples come after any word of how much online and pro shops will retail it for. If that's the case it's a decent amount. Would be good to put them against one another to see where one wins over the other 👍🏻
@rickylee316 I went in for a fitting yesterday. My top 2 choices were the Dynapower forged and the 923 forged. Performance was almost identical. Maybe an extra MPH ball speed with the Mizuno. I actually preferred the feeling from the Wilson, it''s a nice punchy feel. The Mizuno's feel was a little muddy to me; couldn't really tell where on the face I was hitting it. I am a fairly high handicap, typically shoot from 90-100 with about an 80 mph swing speed with my 7 iron. I'm also coming from Mizuno 850 forged irons. I was trying to not be a Mizuno fanboy going in. My 850s are my favorite set that I've ever owned, but a close second would be the Wilson Staff FG Tour V2. I think the final deciding factor was the price. It was about $300 less for the Dynapowers for extremely similar performance.
These look almost like the previous D9 Forged. I bought the D9 Forged 2 years ago and love them! Great feel and sound, forgiving, and as long as the Cobra King Forged at that time, which was the longest Game-improvement iron I tried at the time. These are basically re-named clubs to keep in line with their Dynapower theme. Wilson is a great brand that more people should try - unfortunately, the two major retailers in the Seattle area re not carrying the brand in their stores as of recently. Too bad for those that never got to try these.
That's the beauty of Feel and Looks, they are so unique to the golfer wanting them. Some like loud clubs and others like quiet ones, different tones etc it never ends, we all like different things and that's what makes life and golf more enjoyable as it would be boring if we all liked the same thing 🙂👍
Terrific review video, especially appreciate different swing speeds. I play D9 forged and doesn’t look like any significant improvement in any areas, distance, forgiveness or feel.
Hi Jay, appreciate a lot your three different swing speeds, being a slow swing speed golfer myself. Your good testing and ball data results just serves to confirm that slow swing speed golfers should not be purchasing a standard 4I-PW set of irons. Half the set is sub functional for slow swing speed golfers and if your 7 iron swing speed is in the sixties, one should be looking at a full set of hybrid irons like Eleven or Cleveland Halo XL or Wilson Launchpad or Cobra T-Rail..
Another great video Jay. I am getting addicted to your videos on all the various club brands…so detailed, much more so than anyone else I’ve seen. I cannot imagine the amount of time you invest in analyzing these clubs in such detail. Do you actually get any time to play golf?
Yep, twice last year 🙂 shot 1 over and 3 over respectively..... Not bad considering all I seem to do is test equipment to within an inch of its life to tell you guys if it works well or not 😂😂😂 Thanks for getting addicted to my content, all I need now is 100k more people to also have the same addiction 😂😂
I play the V6 Forged Tour and i love them...best irons i have ever had...i have been fitted gor T100 ...Jpx921 plus Taylormade P770...but still go back to Wilsons.. Would you consider a swap for these as i do need a little help now or deloft my current irons...Cheers 👍
Would so love to see a version of the DP Forged at 32 deg for a 7 iron. Kind of like Ping do with their retro spec. Just too big a gap between the CB and this. But apart from that the Wilson Staff iron line-up right now is absolutely superb. Has been for damned good for the past 5 years actually, to be fair.
I personally never tested the old D9 Forged and many say they look and feel very similar. I'm reality a brand is never looking to entice sales from golfers with the previous model of a launch as really there is never enough justifications to buy the new over the old, unless someone wants something new and shiny. So this is more aimed at people coming from a few models ago 👍🏻👍🏻
When I started playing golf, Wilson was one of the big 3 golf brands out there (McGregor and Spalding..yes they made golf clubs to you younger guys out there were the other 2). Got myself a Wilson Dynapowr Forged myself. These are total sleeper irons probably cause of their "shelf" appeal compared to the big brand names and has beens or nobody's are using them on tour right now. Guarantee you if a Rory, Colin, or a Xander used these irons, Wilson wouldn't be able to keep this in stock.
Just bought the carbon 9* driver head! Will put a blue Ventus shaft with a LH adapter which will allow me to go down to 7* loft? It has took 40 years, but have done a 360* move with Staff irons!
Oh dear. I must admit I don't like shiny chrome, but this club looks VERY good, and apparently very attractively priced too. Had they been introduced back in July, I would very likely not pulled the trigger on the far more expensive i525. Offset looks reasonable too. The draw bias is a bit worrying for my swing though
I just bought the I525's also. They are really good irons and I actually hit them better than the more game improvement g425's. I got them on sale for $1000 in January 2024.
Great review such an underrated brand. How do these compare with P790, T350,/Srixon ZX4? I’m a senior 16 handicapper. With a swing speed of 73 would these be suitable? I want forged but want forgiveness and distance. I like long irons and currently play Stealth 2 but the 5 iron at 21 degrees a bit strong and find 23 degrees or more make a great difference. Many thanks.
I play the previous version, the D9 forged. I expect there is little to no difference between mine and the "new" version. Lofts, power holes are the same etc. I guess there might be some differences in tech between the two. What would be great is a detailed look at the two Dynapower drivers.
Hi Jay, great review as always. I need new irons. Moving in from my old trusty callaway x-16’s. My striking isn’t perfect, but delivering some good speeds. Not sure about club head speeds, but hitting an 8 iron around 108-112mph at 38 degrees loft. It goes 140-150 yards. I am considering these dynapower. There are exactly the same size as my old irons. I’m worrying that the difference between good and a bad strike is going to be too much. So also considering staff cb, although there are somewhat smaller. I’m not sure whether game improvement irons are really improving your game. They might improve your handicap, but because of the lack of feedback I’m not sure whether you actually improve your ball striking. What’s your opinion on that?
GI irons do nothing for your strike spray consistency, I've put blades in high handicappers hand loads of times and measured their spray consistency and it's measurably better than that of their game improvement irons.... I think as soon as you can migrate from them, golfers should 👍🏻
Just can't see a 7i at 30.5 degrees and only getting up to 30-something yards in the air. They're gorgeous and I want to like them, but CB might be the only ones I can put into play at my swing speed. Regardless, a wonderful review as always. Thank you.
Same for me. I picked a demo D9 Forged 7i off eBay, and tried it out back-to-back with the new DynaPower 7i. I preferred the D9, and consequently snagged a set at a really good price (aka cheap as chips), as the new ones had been launched by then. I love them.
@@deniseckert213 in my testing the dynapower performed better, the same but farther. mishits farther, good shots farther. similar launch and spin...just longer....not a ton but 5-7 yards.
i bought these last night. i liked the ai smoke shaft better, shoulda bought em. but i love the look of these and mishits seems less punishing. thats good since i had more mishits with the dynapower and bought em..... :)
Hi great videos, im in a dilemma with these and mp245, i have mizuno jpx825pro itons now but Wilson suprised me. Anything you can add to help my decision. Mizuno had project x lz shaft, wilson DG mid 115,
May i suggest you check the bottom of the video description for the link to the discord server. There you can ask questions and get answers and help in real time.
Jay, 4400spin at 80mph & 44 decent makes me very nervous here in firm az...so what are your "class leading" best in class at 80mph without being a shovel that provide spin, height, decent, and some forgiviness? ;0)
Unfortunately if you want all the above and don't want it to be a shovel, then you're asking too much from physics. Always the best of performance will undoubtedly come from the bigger bulkier irons that can take full advantage of all the tech they can throw at an iron. What golfers need to do more than anything else is balance the needs they have for what they want to look at and use against the clear advantage that size matters 👍🏻👍🏻
@@AskGolfNut thx Jay, I play to a 6index so I dont need the biggest heads, widest soles, and most offset, I should ask more details, sorry.. which clubs should I try that are 1 class smaller than my 923HM-HL that are med soles, med offset and med width? ;0)
Wouldn't a head to head comparison between the Dynapower Forged and the Cobra King Tour irons be great, since these are the two more traditionally lofted (and looking) of the "players distance" iron sets?
@@AskGolfNut ....except that I was wrong about the lofts. For some reason I thought that the Wilson Dynapower Forged also had a 32° 7-iron. Wrong. But both sets converge at a 44° PW. 😁
Which means that both sets have different distance gaps between irons so the larger gapped irons would possibly suit more the slower swing speed player. Would be an interesting compare 👍🏻
I also wonder if you could tweak your swing so much on the slower swing speed tests, that you only deloft by 2 or 3 degrees, because this is also common with players at these speeds (I should know 😂). Experience often leads to this. Again, the way you perform these tests is immensly valuable for us mere mortals.
i got down to 2 sets these and the new cleveland zipcore xl...wilsons looked better, but i hit the clevelands better and felt better. i wanted the t350 but they were 400 more. review of zipcore?
As long as their strike wasn't massively varied across the face and they hit somewhere near the middle most times then absolutely yes. If they have a very poor strike consistency then I would suggest going the full on cast DynaPower Irons as they have a little more help when hit on extreme parts of the club face 👍
@@AskGolfNut sorry got my terms mixed up. Yes add 1 to 2° of loft would seem to put these in a more ideal launch and distance window for either 70 or 90 mph swing speeds.
I was fit for these last week. The club suited me very well, but the descent angle was 44*, and spin was a bit low. 7 iron carried a little over 170, so we decided to weaken them 1*. I'll gladly give up a few yards for better approach numbers. I agree with Jay's comments on the feel. No one would confuse them with the Wilson Staff irons, but they feel very solid, and the feedback is very precise for a "GI" type iron. As always, nice review, Jay.
Great review. The only qualm I have is that you constantly compare these types of irons to blades. The word blades should never be mentioned in the same video. Just stating facts, as it does a real disservice to the reputation of this type of iron.
Not necessarily as for one it says Forged on the body of the iron and a big part of the marketing of the club is set to it's metallurgy being the same as the Blade and CB. On the second part, to be able to describe feel which is massively subjective and some golfers care hugely whilst others care not a jot about it, the only way to objectify them is to reference the ends of the scale, blade being on oen side vs full on fire cracker game improvement iron on the other. So I'm not saying they feel bad or feel good, it more to objectify a subjective measure 👍🏻👍🏻
Why does it seem like none of these irons spin? Hot Metals, JPX, MPs....all the spin numbers are low. You hit the ball further, so now you have to club up and your typical 7 iron distance might become a 9 iron. However, the spin numbers still seem low...like expecting 7000 from a 7 iron and none of these clubs do that. They are all low 5000s now. Now you go up to 9 iron and only get 7000.
Two factors, mainly loft and the CG of the head. And the second would be ball. You can within your custom fit move thr spin numbers around to suit. But loft is the biggest demonisation here so it's just a biproduct of the more distance inspired irons 👍🏻
Absolutely agree! Maybe there might be a justification for a driving iron or playing links golf where the wind is a big problem, but under normal circumstances I don't see why either 👍🏻
3 Iron? Not sure, but 4 iron? I use it if I have around 220 yards into a green, 3 wood and my 18 hybrid is too much club. For High handicappers though? I wouldn't go anywhere near a 4 iron.
Yep a certain someone namely me got the embargo dates wrong so I released it early when I shouldn't have 😊 so had to re-release it on the right day 😊 #noonesperfect 🤣
LIKE THE VIDEO Guys and COMMENT Below, and I'll try to reply to as many as possible 👍

On the second part, to be able to describe feel which is massively subjective and some golfers care hugely whilst others care not a jot about it, the only way to objectify them is to reference the ends of the scale, blade being on oen side vs full on fire cracker game improvement iron on the other.
So I'm not saying they feel bad or feel good, it more to objectify a subjective measure 👍🏻👍🏻
Why does it seem like none of these irons spin? Hot Metals, JPX, MPs....all the spin numbers are low. You hit the ball further, so now you have to club up and your typical 7 iron distance might become a 9 iron. However, the spin numbers still seem low...like expecting 7000 from a 7 iron and none of these clubs do that. They are all low 5000s now. Now you go up to 9 iron and only get 7000.
Two factors, mainly loft and the CG of the head. And the second would be ball. You can within your custom fit move thr spin numbers around to suit. But loft is the biggest demonisation here so it's just a biproduct of the more distance inspired irons 👍🏻
It's the (wait for it)
AI!
Man you really hate AI 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like 923 Forged...
I don’t understand who is even using 3 and 4 irons anymore in these lofts
Absolutely agree! Maybe there might be a justification for a driving iron or playing links golf where the wind is a big problem, but under normal circumstances I don't see why either 👍🏻
3 Iron? Not sure, but 4 iron? I use it if I have around 220 yards into a green, 3 wood and my 18 hybrid is too much club. For High handicappers though? I wouldn't go anywhere near a 4 iron.
de ja vu
Yep a certain someone namely me got the embargo dates wrong so I released it early when I shouldn't have 😊 so had to re-release it on the right day 😊 #noonesperfect 🤣
I'm so tired of AI. I hate AI. Anyone else?
The buzz word over used and now gets to the point of irritation.... Yep I know what you mean... 👍🏻
