It’s been two years since Wilson Golf brought the DynaPower franchise into the modern era. With a storied history going back to prime Arnold Palmer, the DynaPower name was iconic in the golf lexicon, and there’s no denying the risk involved with incorporating it into a new line of Wilson clubs. The company first reintroduced DynaPower irons in a game improvement design with the modernized DYNAPWR badging. Secretly we wished the first iteration of DYNAPWR irons came in a smaller package, but that version wasn’t far behind. 2024’s DYNAPWR Forged irons ticked just about every box there was for the Player’s Distance category, but it also gave perspective to the line as a whole. From the beginning, DynaPower was about utilizing club design to maximize performance, while at the same time delivering looks and feel that pleased the senses.
We’ve taken the design process from the successful DYNAPWR family since it re-launched two years ago and added even more innovation to create two brand new irons for the game-improvement and game-improvement plus categories

In modern club design, providing aesthetic and fitting options has become incredibly important. Performance can’t be boiled down as narrowly as it was in the 1960’s and companies must find ways to meet the needs of every type of player to stay relevant. Knowing this, Wilson Golf is expanding the reach of their DYNAPWR iron line in 2025. To complement the compact and mighty DYNAPWR Forged, they have redesigned the core DYNAPWR game improvement irons. To expand on that, there is also an exciting addition to the line that speaks to the evolution of Wilson’s approach to club design. They are also introducing DYNAPWR Max irons, which will provide a fitting option for those players that need more height to go along with the extreme distance and forgiveness ushered in by modern iron design.

Wilson DYNAPWR Irons
2025’s core DYNAPWR irons will replace the game improvement set first introduced in early 2023. We ran through the technical details of the 2023 version on our homepage around the time of the initial release. In all, the technological package was impressive, especially in the sense that Wilson reimagined the primary DynaPower technology piece into a modern iron. Even in the 1960’s DynaPower was all about moving weight into more optimal positions to increase distance and forgiveness. In 2023, both distance and forgiveness were exponentially amplified when compared to the originals, but the concept was essentially the same. In addition to the DynaPower technology, things like AI face construction and Wilson’s Power Holes contributed to the irons’ performance. We did feel Wilson’s marketing language was a bit misleading when it came to the size and shape of the 2023 irons, but 2024’s DynaPower Forged satisfied our desires for similar technology in a smaller package.

Key Features
While our initial glance left us wondering what exactly was different compared to 2023, a deeper dive tells us first impressions aren’t everything. Again, the company is touting the core DYNAPWR iron as catering to “a better ball striker with its reduced offset, thinner topline and narrower sole.” We’ll reserve final judgement on those visual claims until the irons arrive for review, and we are able to photograph them in person.

Hollow Body Construction
One notable change is that the 2025 DYNAPWR iron are built with a hollow body construction instead of a standard cavity back. This is a big change for Wilson. Yes, they’ve delivered hollow body irons before, most recently in 2022’s Launch Pad line of hybrid irons, but they haven’t put together what we’d call a “conventional” iron in a hollow body package. There are good reasons amateur players love hollow body irons. The design tends to maximize distance and forgiveness in a package that can be a bit more pleasing to the eye than a comparable cavity back. In addition, hollow body construction provides a fantastic platform for weight redistribution, allowing designers to maximize performance. The 2025 DYNAPWR irons have been constructed to provide maximum face stability, speed, and forgiveness.

New Chassis
In the space between, or rather the hollow body itself, Wilson has built what they call an Energy Transfer Chassis. From the outside, this appears to be a strengthening of the frame that the hollow body is built around. By adding stability or rigidity to the areas around the flexible face, the face’s ability to flex and provide maximum rebound effect is enhanced to an even great degree. A trampoline needs a sturdy frame, and at the most basic level that’s what the Energy Transfer Chassis is trying to be. In addition to benefits like explosive speed and a large COR area, the ETC should also greatly improve sound by soaking up some of the excess vibrations that we tend to see from hollow body designs.
Specifications – Wilson DYNAPWR
2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons will come stock with the KBS Max Ultralite steel shaft (R 90g & S 95g) and the Mamiya UST Recoil Dart 65g shaft in the graphite option.
Keen eyes will notice a slight lowering of loft compared to the 2023 model. Likely this is to provide optimal launch conditions with the new hollow body design that often produces lower backspin rates.

2025 Wilson DYNAPWR Max Irons
While “loft jacking” debates still rage on, the reality is that we’ve noticed a definite shift in iron design in recent years. It seems that in many ways the race for distance has slowed a bit. Yes, most game improvement irons still utilize stronger lofts to match the flexible faces and low center of gravity they possess, but companies have come to the realization that “playable distance” is different for everybody. Some players, especially those with slower swings speeds aren’t able to capitalize on the distance potential strong builds offer because they can’t elevate the ball enough to maximize carry. In addition, some players struggle stopping the ball on approach shots with modern iron designs. It’s important to note that this affects “some” players and fitting is vitally important to see where you fit in.

With that knowledge, Wilson is introducing DYNAPWR Max. We couldn’t be more pleased to see Wilson offering a fitting option to meet the needs of more players. It’s an approach that further legitimizes their quest to be an industry leading iron producer.
Max often denotes a golf club of increased size, and that is certainly the case here, but that’s not the whole story. DYNAPWR Max irons will be the largest in the Wilson catalog in terms of blade size, meaning they’ll also be the most forgiving to off-center strikes in terms of both ball speed retention and stability. The wide sole will not only play more forgiving to steep swings that often produce ground-first contact but will also help drive the ball up into the air quickly for increased height. Finally, a modified (weaker) loft structure will increase both backspin and launch angle. Altogether, this combination will provide a very playable combination of speed, forgiveness, and height that should help certain players maximize both their distance and their ability to keep the ball close to the hole after it lands.

Wilson has spent time sculpting the topology of the DYNAPWR Max to ensure the highest level of stability and forgiveness off center. Open Heel Construction, which appears to be an expansion of the cavity towards the heel, is designed to specifically aid on those rather unpleasant misses.

The Details
More information, including in-hand pictures and testing results will be found on the THP Forum in the coming weeks.
2025 DYNAPWR and DYNAPWR Max irons will be available online and in store on February 12, 2025. Please visit Wilson Golf’s website for more information.
Honest to goodness GI and SGI clubs. I bet these would help that demographic absolutely launch the ball
They don’t look too bad at all. Curious what they’ll look like in hand.
Nice write up [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER] as a slower swinger who struggles with getting enough spin on his irons I do appreciate the trend to bring a Max offering with less loft to help increase spin (I have enjoyed Cobra’s version and this seems in line with that). It’s a nice looking club.
Also love that the Dart 65 is the stock graphite shaft for the Regular dynapower.
A great overview. Well done. I think they look as nice as their competitors. All comes down to how they hit, feel and sound. Wilson did a nice job reimagining their golf line.
FYI: I meant these comments for the DP woods but they seem to work here too.

My initial plan this year was DP Forged irons to start but I got caught up in the Srixon release so that went out the window immediately…I don’t hate the dynapower look on the hollow bodies but I prefer the look of the DPF…Definitely interested to hear and see more on these.
Looks wise there is something about them that remind me of like the 721 or 722 irons from tour edge. I am in the market for irons in 2025 so these will be on the list.
These are some very attractive irons. I like these. I will be interested to hear some real world feedback.
For those wondering, we will have these in-hand for some testing. Hopefully they’ll make it to IL by next week at the latest.
Nice to see some new irons from Wilson. Very nice looking irons.

I will be interested in seeing how they perform for you. As someone who has played golf for more than 50 years, Wilson has some degree of nostalgia for me.
Wilson has really upped their game. You absolutely love to see this!

I’ve been a long time fan of the brand, though I’ve never really played their true game improvement irons. I have quite a bit of experience with different hollow bodies, and can be a little picky for being such a mid golfer.

I thought that as well.
That said – these are some solid looking irons, light years removed from the D9s. If I hadn’t picked up new Halo XLs last season, these would be extremely high on my “must try” list. W/S GI and SGI irons have always worked for me right off the shelf, and I don’t think these would be any exception at all.
Nice write up [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER] – very informative.
I actually think these look kind of decent for what they are.
Wilson’s still in an odd space for me and as soon as I seen these I thought of box set irons. I’d like to try them to see performance but still remember all the brand new still in wrapper irons this year at stores as they were unloading them with wrapper 1/2 off due to an updated release.
Wowwwww……
Testing the Dynapower Forged last year was fun. They are a great head. These new ones have that similar look on the back with a very clean, modern badging that still has a classic Wilson feel. I think they have really done great straddling that line in looks. And good on them for having at least slightly weaker lofts in the Max for those who need it. Those standard heads are pretty aggressive, though – 28* in a 7 iron is… low.

I do too. I’m very curious to see them in hand. Most interested in seeing if they tweaked the address aesthetics this time around since they have two models. Would love to see the core DYNAPWR come in just a little less offset and chunky.
I was really impressed by the last iteration of DYNAPWR irons. I believe they were the longest iron I tried. Just extremely low spinning. Like mid-3K 7 iron low. The refinements make a lot of sense.
These look really good for GI/SGI class irons. Hopefully we’ll get some in hand photos when they’re available.
I think these actually look kind of good. Can’t wait for some in hand thoughts.

I’m not sure we know exactly what is coming yet. I’m hoping we can see both sets of irons just to give a good comparison.
The Dynapwr standard irons reminnded me of a Tour Edge release. That’s a compliment.
Word is these will be in for review in the next week or so. I’m not always overly excited about irons like this, but there are a few things that have me curious. The move to hollow body is one. The framing behind the face is another.
Also, pretty wild they’ve done away with Power Holes. I’m thinking the new face design eliminates the need for them and I”m not sad to see the change.
