One of my favourite memories is following the late Payne Stewart at the Canadian Open. He was playing a nice shiny set of Wilson Staff irons. That swing and those clubs were a perfect match.. These new irons come from a pretty classy family tree and they look very playable for us mortals. Remember Mike, luck is a byproduct of skill:).
It's good to see some more exposure for Wilson, their clubs are back in a big way, I have the previous model CB's and I think they are more than a match for the major brands at a very good price point.
Nice to see this reviewed lads. I've played the D7Forged and now the D9Forged in the bag for 2024. So pleased with the value, performance, feel, looks and sound of the D9Forged. I'd assume these Dyna's are similar. Like Mikey though, the 5i was a no go in my bag and a 5H gapped so much better to the 6i. The 6-G are money though.
@@CharlotteK2008not really considering they sold out their blades in around a week and ever since that duo won that good good tournament it’s gonna get the younger crowd interested in their products
@@mojohojo1210 I've been a 670MB and a MP33 player my entire life, but I'm seriously looking at Wilson's blades... I put the 8802 in my bag last year after trying it out for fun at the PGA store, lmao
Wilson are back making bag worthy clubs, always played them in the 80’s, the blades were sublime, don’t play blades now, i blend my set and it looks like that’s possible with the Wilson offering. I will investigate.
@@lawbinson I started to get that one. I still may. I got the bl22 blade. But that one looks so dang good. I love the shape too. I tried Scotty Cameron phantom mallet, several oddesey and TaylorMade and armlock but this Wilson just feels amazing it's lasted longer in my bag than any other putter I've owned
From a price perspective if these are almost as good as the P790’s then I’ll be testing these soon just to see and feel for myself. At about half the price here in Australia.
Was fitted by my club pro at Kinross GC for the Dynapower Forged.,,,, (My old irons were Cobra Aerojet) Was out this morning 7am for the first time with the new irons. The feel is soft, compared to my old irons, higher ball flight thou STOPS fast on the greens. Now have confidence of firing into the green and know its going to stop, with the 8. to GW.. Have now taken the SM9 49 wedge out of the bag,,, Took a bit of getting used to a thicker top line,, smile on your coupon with the soft feel you get, deffo worth the money,,, and and club pro was £100 cheaper than American Golf,, always good to support your club pro
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.
I’d love to see more testing against P790’s,MP245,ZX5,T200. I believe these could keep up with all them and beat them in some cases. They have incredible feel too.
Just picked up a set and put them up against the usual players distance stuff. For $500CAD less that anything else I demo'd in the category, it was my choice. They give up nothing in terms of speed and launch to other 30* 7i iron sets in a clean forged head. I love when value actually meets performance. Its rare.
Good review and nice to see Mikey in the driving seat. What’s the descent/spin combo for 6 and 7 at 75 mph club speed? Isn’t that what these irons are targeted at?
I assume Mike was using KBS Tour, not the stock KBS Tour Lite? I think there's an argument to be made that a lighter, higher launch shaft might fit these clubs for Mike better, especially since he's losing height and gapping as he moves from PW>7i>5i. Honestly might be a good use case for AMT shafts to get him more clubhead speed and height in the long irons.
A friend is trying to talk me into getting fitted for PXG irons. These Wilson’s are getting great reviews from everyone. I may go this way and grab a Ping 430 max with the rest of the budget. 🤷♂️
Hello Guys. I really enjoyed these review videos. Hoping to pull the trigger on a new set of irons this season. Tell me your thoughts on this club compared to the Wilson D9 Forged
So Mike hitting PW and 7 somehow 4.8 degree toe down... would this normally show a more left to right ball flight for right handed player ? (The 5Y saw some slight pulls with 5.5 toe down)
You mentioned in a previous video that you would bend Mikey’s irons 2 up for the long irons and flatten the wedges, I’m thinking of doing this too with my new CB’s to help with the leaking 5 iron. What is Miley does in his swing that makes you consider that?
I'm doing the same JT. With a steeper but i--o swing plane with the short irons, I'm starting and sending them left. With the longer irons I have a slightly o-i path and start them straight but send them right. The flatter lie in the short irons will start the ball more neutral and reduce the left miss while the opposite will be the case when I make the longer irons more upright.
I purchased the D9 forged to replace my Apex Pro 21’s for more forgiveness. After hitting both I’ve decided to practice more and use the Apex’s. The Callaway’s feel so much better.
I have totally the opposite experience, and opinion Brock. So, we're lucky there are so many options out there and we don't all have to play the same gear.
Interesting. I noticed Mikey's chs was the same with the 7i and 5i, which probably explains some of the 'gapping issues'. I have the same speed issue (just a few mph slower) and the same gapping challenge - not enough gap to slot a 6i in there but too much to take the 6i out. I'm thinking of strengthening the 6i a degree and the 5i 2 degrees (and maybe lengthening the shaft for a mph or two more chs) to stretching the gapping closer to what I want. I already play the Dynapower's predecessor - the D9 forged 5i and 6i, and the staff CB 7i and 8i and I don't think there is a noticeable difference in feel so am surprised Mikey thinks the forged Dynapower feel harsher than the CBs. I guess, like beauty, feel is in the hands (and ears) of the beholder.
They look good, they sound fantastic, they are clearly very forgiving but... the spin on the 7i was stupidly low, the gapping between 7i and 5i was poor. I do wonder whether the 6i might go almost exactly the same distance as the 5i. I am guessing that the only way a ball stops on a green with 8i or longer is down to peak height and descent angle. Cannot help but feel there are better options out there, but possibly not at the price Wilson sell at. Like many sets with similar lofts this is not a set to have a 5i or 4i
@@ultimatejay youre way off and ill informed. Maybe delusional. Traditional iron lofts would mean the time of the original staff model blades, og mizunos etc. those were 5 irons at 30 degrees. So yes thank you for confirming that this 7 iron is a rebranded 5. Youre wrong. Sorry bud
I loved my D7 forged irons dearly for a couple years, I must admit they weren't built great and they started to bend where the head meets the shaft. They have really poor customer support in the UK, they use a different company to handle their warranty issues and it was just an absolute farce. Long story short the issue wasn't resolved and I sold them to Golfbidder before the issue became more apparent. Such a shame because I love the look of these new irons but I just don't trust the customer support.
1.20 you said the "former iron" was a firmer iron i think u said and with stronger lofts, when in actual fact, the former iron, the D9 forged is made from the same metal and have the exact same lofts 🤷🏼♂️

Big fan of the looks of these. If they come with some decent graphite options as well, that would be awesome.

I'd be interested in these if I weren't so completely satisfied with my C300 forged set.
Lofts are 2.5 degrees stronger too, so gapping can get wider and/or need an extra wedge
So Mike hitting PW and 7 somehow 4.8 degree toe down... would this normally show a more left to right ball flight for right handed player ? (The 5Y saw some slight pulls with 5.5 toe down)

The boy is like a robot. Great consistency.
What do you think about these in a combo set with the CB’s for a very average ball striker with good speed?
On this practice course, is he aiming for the straight white line or aiming for the pin?

So is the “d” series replaced with these? I think the D9 were a lot better looking.
Yes, and yes I agree too.
how is it different from the d9 forged?
My D900s are awesome, did a fitting and hit all the major brands, easily hit the Wilsons the best
Can you change the loft of the clubs
Would love to see a wilson staff model and staff model X golf ball review some time here in 2024
would you say there are closer to hot metal mizuno or the G430 irons? thanks
Similar to a hot metal pro
It's possible the gap from 7-6 is fine but 6-5 a bit tight since 5 is where Mikey would transition to a wood or hybrid
They look good, they sound fantastic, they are clearly very forgiving but...
the spin on the 7i was stupidly low, the gapping between 7i and 5i was poor. I do wonder whether the 6i might go almost exactly the same distance as the 5i. I am guessing that the only way a ball stops on a green with 8i or longer is down to peak height and descent angle.
Cannot help but feel there are better options out there, but possibly not at the price Wilson sell at. Like many sets with similar lofts this is not a set to have a 5i or 4i
How do these compare to the D9 Forged from WIlson?
They are the D9 Forged replacement, so I'm guessing they are pretty similar.
Made from the same material, same lofts, D9 forged come with dynamic gold shafts though
The problem is I can’t find a set to buy anywhere available is a big problem
How are these Not going into Mikey’s bag!!!
