On June 18, 1960, a 29-year-old Arnold Palmer, riding an impressive wave of five wins in five months, stunned onlookers with a closing round 65 in the US Open at Cherry Hills. Sitting seven strokes behind the leader after the third round, Palmer managed to climb from 15th place to 1st with his famed combination of power, precision, and passion. Included in the list of names he managed to best that day were Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player, a who’s who of what was possibly golf’s most romantic era.
In his bag that day was a set of irons that seemed like they were named just for him: Dynapower. Dynamic. Powerful. Really, what two words could better describe Arnie? In reality, Dynapower irons were introduced four years earlier in 1956, and weren’t named for Palmer at all. Still, no one can deny the seemingly perfect fit they were for him during arguably his most dominant stretch as a professional golfer.
The Dynapower irons incorporated technological advancements that were very advanced for their time. By using a bore-through hosel, Wilson notes that they were “able to redistribute weight directly behind the hitting area for more power.” Sound familiar? It should, because the art of moving weight around is central to the art (and science) of making golf clubs. Today, we see more of that weight built into the perimeter of irons to improve things like launch angle, ball speed, and forgiveness, but the general concept remains the same as it was all those years ago.
Today, Wilson is re-introducing Dynapower with a full line of golf clubs with two unique drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons. According to Wilson Golf President Tim Clark, “Dynapower changed the game of golf seven decades ago and it’s time for Wilson to do it again. These powerful irons and adjustable drivers are built with our legendary history in mind as we continue to innovate and deliver top-of-the-line products that raise the confidence of golfers at all skill levels. Our technology is second-to-none and we’re extremely proud of this new line of Dynapower products.”
Dynapower Carbon and Dynapower Titanium Drivers
With two unique drivers, Dynapower Carbon and Dynapower Titanium, Wilson is attempting to supply a wide range of fitting options for consumers. Dynapower Carbon can be thought of as the lower spin, neutral bias, and workable driver, while the Titanium model offers slight draw bias and higher launch and MOI (forgiveness) due to a 16g rear weight.
While it’s not Wilson’s first dive into utilizing carbon construction, the company is incredibly proud of the $499 Dynapower Carbon driver, and it does seem to have a bit more of a premium aura surrounding it compared to recent models. Utilizing lightweight carbon panels on both the crown and sole enabled Wilson to move weight in a manner that produced, “a lower spinning, mid-launch ball flight that allows maximum workability and maximum distance.” This is certainly the better player’s driver of the two 2023 options, though we won’t be able to comment on real-world performance until we have it in hand. Still, there is at least some evidence it’s performing to high standards, as it has already been seen in action on the PGA Tour and will be in the bag of the newest Wilson Advisory Staff member, Kevin Kisner. While Wilson will likely never find themselves at the top of any Tour’s weekly driver-count, Tour validation is Tour validation, and it does mean something.
While the tech story and performance testimonials are somewhat compelling, it’s hard to absolutely fall in love with the look of the Dynapower Carbon. At first glance, the distinctive look of a carbon crown is immediately visible, transitioning into what looks like a cup-face, but is actually a standard, welded face. The look from address is a bit of a dichotomy. While the visible carbon crown suggests modernity, it still manages to look dated to an extent. The sole seems busy, with the weaved-carbon panel, the DYNAPOWR name, and both the Wilson script logo and Wilson Staff shield. Though there is historical precedence for including both logos on a Dynapower golf club, it would probably look best with just a little less going on.
The Dynapower Titanium, priced at $429, may seem like the less advanced driver based on price and construction material, but it’s been designed with a completely different type of player in mind. More in line with what some may call a game-improvement driver, the Titanium offers some more forgiveness than the Carbon, along with higher launch and spin, and a slight draw bias. Wilson did quantify this, sharing that internal testing showed approximately ½ degree higher launch angle, 200rpm more spin, and 10 yards more leftwards dispersion when compared loft-for-loft with the Carbon.
The Titanium’s full titanium construction results in a more uniform looking crown that looks very clean from the address position. Missing from the sole is the carbon weave rear-toe section, though it has the same badging and busyness.
Both drivers possess a new, six-position adjustable hosel that allows for loft adjustments ranging from -1 to +2 degrees. In addition, these adjustments will impact face angle, resulting in up to a 750rpm difference in left/right spin. Fitting carts will be vital for consumers to find their ideal starting loft, as lofting up or down too much could seriously impact directional dispersion.
The Carbon and Titanium also share similar face technology that Wilson calls PKR2 dynamic face thickness. This is a common design concept in drivers and is designed to produce consistent ball speeds across the face.
Both the Dyanpower Carbon and Titanium drivers will be offered with five stock shaft options and gray Lamkin Crossline 360 grips. In addition, fitting carts will have 5g, 9g, 12g, 16g and 20g weights available to dial in both swing weight and launch conditions.
Available lofts are:
- Carbon ($499): 9, 10.5, and 12-degree heads
- Titanium ($429): 9, 10.5, and 13-degree heads
Wilson points out that they will have the potential to offer thousands of fitting combinations, so it is well worth your time to seek out a fitter.
In addition to the two drivers, both Dynapower fairway woods and hybrids will be part of the 2023 line.
Dynapower Fairway Woods Highlights:
- Dynapower Fairway Woods feature rear weighting and variable face thickness to deliver the fastest ball speeds over the entire face for higher, soaring ball flight.
- High MOI head design: Dynapower fairway woods features a 12-gram rear weight to produce a stable, high MOI club head that delivers forgiving, higher launch angles.
- Advance, tour-inspired head shape: Tour player testing resulted in a flatter profile for a clean setup behind the ball.
- 3 wood (15), 5 wood (18), and 7 wood (21)
- Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX (A, R, S)
- Pricing: Dynapower Fairway Woods: $249.99
Dynapower Hybrids Highlights:
- Dynapower Hybrids showcase a low center of gravity (CG) and variable face thickness to deliver easy-to-launch ball flight, precise distance and tour-player preferred, flatter profile for a confident setup.
- High MOI head design: Internal weighting positions the CG low and back to produce a high MOI clubhead for more forgiveness and higher launch angles.
- Advance, tour-inspired head shape: Tour player testing resulted in a flatter profile for a clean setup behind the ball.
- 3 (19), 4 (22), 5 (25), and 6 (28)
- Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX (A, R, S)
- Pricing: Dynapower Hybrids: $219.99
Dynapower Irons
So, we finally make our way back to the clubs that started it all, the Dynapower irons. Truth be told, the 2023 Dynapower irons don’t bear much resemblance to their ancestors. From a company that still produces some of the most attractive blades and cavity backs on the market, it’s hard not to be disappointed in some ways. Never having seen the 2023 version, we admit to some early romanticized daydreaming of yet another irresistible Wilson forging. While the historical concepts of power and performance are there, it’s understandable that we may have hoped for something that made our jaws drop. Still, Wilson poured a great deal of effort into modernizing this classic, and here we are.
According to Wilson, their Dynapower irons are “engineered for 10+ handicaps but designed to appeal aesthetically to single digit handicaps looking for a little more distance and mishit management in their game”. That’s a mouthful, but it’s easy to read between the lines. While the company hopes some lower handicap players choose them, 2023’s Dynapower irons are more a traditional game-improvement design. The red and black cavity badging that initially was a bit of a letdown grew on us over time. It’s not a pristine forged cavity, but it’s not as busy as many competitors in the game-improvement/distance class. One part of the cavity design worth discussing is the red “DYNAPWR” logo that is seen on every club in the line. Wilson is using the line’s historical name in its marketing, while concurrently using their modern take on the name on the clubs. We understand the concept of modernized branding, but it seems like this detracts from the new line more than it enhances it.
Wilson’s messaging on the look is a bit contradictory, but the visuals and specifications do clear things up quickly. Though they describe the irons as having a “player-preferred head” with a “pleasing top line and optimal offset”, the reality is the Dynapower set appears to possess a bit thicker topline and generous offset. Of course, that’s a completely relative statement; they are slightly less offset than Callaway’s Rogue ST Max, but certainly more so than Srixon’s ZX5. Don’t mistake this discussion as meaning offset is a bad thing. It certainly has its place in modern iron design. Still, terms like “player-preferred” tend to point consumers in a direction that maybe the 2023 Dynapower irons aren’t quite going to match.
What we do love is Wilson’s decision to take what were, in the late 1950’s, some of the industry’s most technologically advanced concepts and reimagine them for modern use. What was revolutionary seventy years ago wouldn’t quite cut it in a 21st century game-improvement iron, but the building blocks were there.
Wilson’s research suggests 85% of all 10+ handicap’s iron shots are hit towards the center-toe portion of the club face. Knowing that, they decided to focus their design efforts on improving results there. Unlike the 1950’s approach to moving weight outwards towards the hitting area, the 2023 Dynapower irons drive weight low and towards the toe to increase launch angle, MOI, and stability on off-center shots, which should produce better accuracy. This is not an uncommon concept in game-improvement iron design of course, but it does illustrate how the same basic concept can span decades and produce different, but still-desirable results.
To produce consistent ball speeds across the face, Wilson is relying on their thinnest face to date, along with redesigned Power Holes 3.0. Ignoring what could be the worst name for any technology ever, these two features combined to produce over 2mph more ball speed than comparable irons. Wilson employed what they call Dynapower AI to analyze thousands of combinations of variable face thickness and power hole locations to deliver the most optimal ball speeds across the face of the iron, with a focus towards the center-toe area.
Consumers should expect this to be a very fast iron that launches the ball quite high. As is often the case, spin rates will likely be on the lower end, with ball speed and launch angle playing a big role in attaining optimal peak height.
Dynapower irons utilize the same Lamkin Crossline 360 grip as the rest of the line and are offered with two stock shaft choices, KBS Max Ultralite in steel ($799) and UST Mamiya Recoil Dart 60 in graphite ($899). Custom fitting and shaft options are also available.
the irons look very similar to the D9 Forged.
I don’t think they look awful and frankly like the looks better than a couple of the other driver releases this year.
Also neat the Recoil Dart is an option on the iron side.
Really enjoyed this deep dive into the lineup and have to say while I agree with [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER] assessment on the descriptors, I like what I am seeing here out of Wilson. I do think that messaging for this one should be heavy over the next month with so many new releases hitting the market and I am hopeful we see it.
I kind of like the DYNAPWR badging on the irons 🙂

Wow this article contained tons of information!!! Excited to see Wilson jump back into releasing clubs and truly hope they become relevant in the market.
Are they basing the naming of draw of golf fans to Arnie Palmer?
Great write up that I enjoyed reading. The Wilson brand name was one of my favorites for decades and two of the 7 different sets of irons I’ve played over the last 40 years have been Wilson Staff’s with the FG V2’s being the most recent. That being said, I have little interest in this release from Wilson. For a $100 more the Paradym story/tech is much more compelling and the looks of these irons are chunky with too much offset for my taste. I’d love to see them succeed with these as I still have a soft spot for Wilson.
The carbon driver at address looks to my eye to be very pleasing. I love the woven carbon look personally and think they’ve probably outdone some of the other releases we’ve seen from an aesthetic standpoint.
The price point of the irons is what stood out to me the most, in my head this would be the equivalent of the Aerojet irons from Cobra, but at $300 less in steel. If they perform, I could see the W/S being a bit of a sleeper this year if folks give them a try.

I can’t say that I dislike the looks at all. Crown of driver looks good. Irons at least from stock pics look ok. Not to chunky from my perspective anyway
I don’t hate it.
Hoping Wilson makes some noise with this product. Really didn’t know all the history behind Dynapower, really good read!
Great Writeup [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]
I like the look of the Driver crown (not all that different than other Carbon options coming out). The irons seem alright but some of their name choices (Power Holes….really?) are just bad. The Recoil Dart being the stock graphite shaft is intriguing, but nothing about these screams must hit.
Great article [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]. Pretty interesting how the adjustable hosel can dramatically change the dispersion. Is this unique to the Wilson drivers or is this seen in all adjustable hosel drivers?

what a comprehensive write up. It sounds like there is a lot of tech and change going on in the driver. Very curious about the irons as well not the great looking iron that I was expecting but this seems to mirror the gi launch that happens with the other OEMs.
I’ll be following and cannot wait to see this in the bay
Great write up [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER] ! I would like to see this line up in person. Media pictures doesn’t do much for the equipment. The drivers, fw, and hybrids are priced well. The irons are kinda disappointing. Looks like a new badge on the back of the D9. Where if the 60’s Dynapower irons were an inspiration, they should have went the Stealth/Paradym route, and made a hollow blade-like club. I’m truly hoping this can put W/S on the front page, but the critic in me wants to just chalk it up as the status-quo. And, that’s Wilson’s problem. People aren’t wowed enough to take a second look unfortunately.
I like the looks of the driver and wood, but the iron left something to be desired for me. Interested to see how these perform especially at a slightly lower price point then other premium releases.
Great write up and tons of information, a lot more depth to this than just it being Wilson released things. Thanks!
It did spur a question for me though. If 85% of 10+ caps hit to the center toe area – why does the ‘club center’ on the driver appear to be closer to the heel? Wouldn’t it make more sense to move the sweet spot forward a half inch or whatever it would be to mirror where the majority of their audience is making connection?

Depends on the driver, but yes it’s a possibility any time you are changing face angle. I think that’s why fitting is important. For example, I like a higher lofted head opened up a little. My son likes lower lofted closed.
I’ll have the Carbon driver by the end of the week, so hopefully we can get some good pics up for you. I am very curious to see how it performs. We’ve heard some good things through the grapevine.

I can’t say for sure, but they do say their AI program processes thousands of potential impact scenarios to determine how to position variable face thickness.

Great writeup [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]! I especially enjoyed the part about the history of the line going all the way back to Palmer..
Nice writeup [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]. Decent criticism of the messaging and brand that unfortunately they’ve earned, but overall this whole line looks like it could be really promising. I love that they went back to the classic red/black color scheme they’re known for. And let’s be real – these irons aren’t meant to look like their blades or forgings, because they’re not. But they’re way better looking than the D9 irons. I have the D7s right now and these are solid looking in comparison. Eager to see some in-hand pics.
Driver performance is going to be key. I’ve always gotten along great with W/S irons… but not the drivers. Ever. Hopefully that’ll change this time around.
Looks like a solid lineup. Irons look a bit of a rework of previous Wilson offerings but if it performs with those prices it should hopefully help them get back some of their lost luster. Hopefully they get some idea of a marketing team and figure out how to message for these.
The hybrid is very nice looking. Really good shape and lofts.

Thanks for that. Coming from a long time fan of the brand, it’s not always easy to look at things objectively, but I want to look at things from all sides.
This is probably the only time I’ve been legitimately excited to get a Wilson driver in my hands, so they’ve done something right. How it shakes out in terms of feel and performance will be key though. High hopes for sure.
I think these look pretty good. Wilson waited too long to release them, in my opinion. I get that this is release season, but feel like they’re going to get lost in the shuffle with the big dogs. A December release would have made more sense to me. Be the only new one available and potentially end up under some Christmas trees.
The woods look nice. The irons, not so much.
they seem lacking though. Not the powerful release I was looking for. Kinda bummed and thinking “that’s it”? The tease and lead up was more interesting than the release.

That is a tough spot to be in. When we have seen December releases, just as many people say “why release something when 50% of the US can’t play”. So I understand the early year release to an extent hitting the largest part of the curve of shopping in April and May.
I’m not the player the Dynapower irons are aiming for, but the driver options are nice. I like those.
Those irons are stunning. I love the look. I think Wilson hit the looks part out of the park. Now for testing to see if function follows looks.
The looks are good. I’m sure they will perform well in the hands of most amateurs. Will they get them to the amateurs is the question.
That little kick in the hosel at address on those irons is… well we’ll go with interesting.

CAD rendering, and we didn’t receive the irons to take a closer look. I can say the woods look better in hand than their imagery provided. The Ti model is very clean and the carbon does have a premium look at the renderings don’t really offer.
Really well developed writing. I saw pictures yesterday from an Australia golf store. The pictures gave me a bad feeling about the irons. These pictures made a total difference. Love the color and badging. Looking forward to how they play. An instructor I know has hit the Carbon driver and loved it.
i don’t know if dynapwr is supposed to be the top of the line for wilson but i would think that they would’ve given the irons a more premium look for being in the WS line. that being said, they’re not ugly but the D9 Forged and Staff CB just look so much better to me.
The woods look pretty solid, and tick the tech boxes for a modern driver. The branding makes sense as you can tell they are trying to make clubs that could win a major. Price is solid, but if I’m buying blind it’s going to have to get amazing reviews to buy it over say a $400 Stealth 1. Hopefully they get some traction at fitters to get some sales from “this is as good as x for $50 less.”
The irons look fine, but I don’t get the branding/messaging. Kind of has a Mustang Mach E vibe. Ain’t nobody winning a major with those.

Based on the article, I would think these would replace the cast D9 irons, which are solidly GI if not SGI irons. These most likely aren’t meant to compete with their forged offerings, which all look amazing.
I guess it’s a decent step for Wilson, and can be an option for some who are drawn to nostalgia and gravitate to the brand.
That said, the driver imo is dated. I’d rather purchase something from one of the bigger golf companies even if it’s a generation or two old over this.
Also would have liked an additional iron model not as firmly in the GI space in addition to this one.

If I am assessing their lineup, these are more a large net cast to hit the widest spectrum of golfers, where as the D9 Forged and Staff Model CB are narrower targeted at a different golfer.

Interesting, the irons and the low toe miss sweet spot.
Nice preview [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]. Not a bad looking line up form Wilson. They have certainly hit a price point that people will be happy about.
Awesome article [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER]
This seems to be a well thought out lineup targeted at the mid to higher cap player. As someone that was excited for this release, I can’t help but feel a bit let down. The whole line feels like it’s replacing D9. That doesn’t scream aspirational or better player to me. The lack of X flex shafts in most of the clubs backs that up, as does the gross amount of offset in the irons.
The driver looks good and I will definitely hit the carbon and give it a chance. I think they also nailed the price point this time around. But going back to my statement about being a D9 replacement, am I supposed to assume that only the carbon driver is the truly premium club in this release?
