The 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons send the long iron shots deep and are consistent in the short irons. Stout, game improvement look. Surprisingly traditional sound and feel.
Introduction
Golf can be paradoxical: a game that reveres history and tradition is also one of the most tech-driven sports on the planet. No OEM embodies that contradiction better than Wilson Golf. The brand with arguably the greatest history and inarguably more major wins than any other is also working to be on the cutting edge of golf performance. The Wilson DYNAPWR irons show that dichotomy with a throwback name and performance that’s anything but old school.
Looks
In the bag, the 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons share their overall aesthetic with the previous version released in 2023. The cavity is colored with black, grey, and red. This new version is busier with several levels and lines going in numerous directions. It’s not a bad looking iron, but I wish it had a clearer focal point. The iconic Wilson shield feels shoe-horned into the toe – I would have liked it to be more prominent.
At address, the 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons have a stout game improvement look. The top lines are thick, but these irons are not very long from heel to toe. There is a healthy amount of offset – average for game improvement irons – but there isn’t any “extra” sticking out behind the top line.

Above, you can see the Wilson DYNAPWR irons 7I on the right and the DYNAPWR Max 7I on the left. There’s a substantial difference between the two, which I like – why have two models if they’re going to be near twins? The standard DYNAPWR is thinner across the top line with a smaller face and less offset (0.056″ in the 7I, to be precise. Kudos to Wilson for publishing the offset specs).
Sound & Feel
While the performance aspects of modern golf clubs deserve top billing, I think it’s also noteworthy the way OEMs have engineered the sound and feel. A hollow body set like the 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons would have been predictably loud and boorish just a few years ago. Now, golfers can get the performance benefits of game improvement irons without the unpleasant sensations.
At impact, the DYNAPWR irons feel very solid. On feel alone, there’s no way you would guess that these clubs are hollow. I’m not suggesting that they feel the same as a forged blade, but this level of tactile feedback is not something you could have found in a GI iron a few years ago.
Similarly, the impact sound is quieter than expected. This set does get louder as the irons get longer, but they never step beyond average in volume. The scoring clubs produce a duller, more “thud”-like sound where the longer irons are crisper with a bit of snap.
Performance
If you recall the previous Dynapower irons [or you check out the review HERE], the picture above might be a bit surprising to you. There’s something missing: Power Holes. This was Wilson’s signature iron technology for several generations, but they’ve changed to a new suite of technologies for the 2025 DYNAPWR set. Per Wilson, this includes Hollow Body Construction, Energy Transfer Chassis, PKR-Cup Face, and Velocity Optimization Channel.
While the names vary from one OEM to the next, the fundamentals are fairly similar. The goal of the Wilson DYNAPWR irons is to transfer maximum energy to the ball, regardless of where it strikes the face, and to create a center of gravity that produces a high, consistent ball flight. In my testing, I saw the Wilson DYNAPWR irons succeed on both counts.
Starting with ball speed, the DYNAPWR irons are very similar to their predecessor. In the short irons, the ball speed is extremely consistent. To me, consistency is worth more than raw power in the short irons, because you’re trying to knock it close. In the longer irons, DYNAPWR lives up to its name with loads of speed. The 5I in particular absolutely roasts the ball. This set does have very strong lofts which contribute to the ball speed, but they’re also well designed.
Turning to the ball flight, the 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons are an improvement over the previous generation. This set launches higher which will help players get more distance out of their ball speed. Even the 22 degree 5I launched at a playable trajectory that could hold a green. I will still offer the same warning I did last time around: because of the strong lofts, you should get fit and probably avoid the 4I unless you have both elite club speed and fairly high launch.
Conclusion
Overall, the 2025 Wilson DYNAPWR irons are strong performers in the game improvement segment. At $899 for a 7-piece set, they’re several hundred dollars less than some of the bigger names, but they don’t sacrifice distance or forgiveness. Get fit for the right specs and shafts, and you’ll enjoy hitting consistent short iron shots and blasts with the long irons.
