Is this the most forgiving low-spinning driver ever?

The Wilson Dynapower LS is categorized as their low-spinning model, which is bound to deter some golfers from giving it a chance, but should you be so quick to dismiss this LS model?

I can almost guarantee the Wilson Dynapower LS will be among the best low-spinning drivers of 2025, and it can easily challenge the best drivers in the game. The LS model is a new addition to Wilson’s driver line-up, and they’ve absolutely nailed it. Even a golfer such as myself can benefit from gaming the Dynapower LS driver because it’s not ridiculously low-spinning or lacking forgiveness. It’s actually a bit of a beast!

Considering I’d rather see the ball spin up to 3000rpm than drop below 2000rpm, I do appreciate a quality low-spin driver because I like the way the head sits at address, and that’s no different with the Dynapower LS. Given this is the first time Wilson have brought an out-and-out LS model to market, I’m seriously impressed with what they’ve created, and I’m sure I won’t be the only one.

I’m not surprised by the fact the Dynapower LS is a brilliant driver, I’m surprised by how it performs. I’ll dive deeper into this later on, but what I mean is, with LS models, there’s a preconception that they’re purely designed for better ball strikers and golfers with quick swing speeds. However, I view this driver as being so much more versatile than that – and I have my reasons why.

There are a ton of positives to discuss with the Dynapower LS, but there are some negatives too. The biggest is that it’s not a model you see being played on Tour as much as other brands’ LS models, like the TaylorMade Qi35 LS, Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond, Titleist GT4, or Ping G440 LST.

The other negative I see there being for the LS head is that it won’t get the same love as the Dynapower Carbon head, because it’s viewed as a low-spinning driver, but it’s just lower-spinning than the Carbon. Seeing as though I’m discussing spin now, it seems fitting to start by talking about distance and spin with the Dynapower LS driver and why it’s been awarded full marks.

Distance and Spin

For the majority of golfers, the distance and spin numbers produced by the Dynapower LS will be optimal to help you eek more yardage out of your game. I’ve played with the 9° and 10.5° heads and my preference is for the 10.5° because the spin is slightly higher and so is the launch, which helps me achieve a farther carry distance. I can see this driver suiting a wide range of golfers because of its great distance and low spin. I say low-spin because it’s definitely not high, but I’ve never seen a shot fall below 1900rpm which isn’t bad considering my bad shot is low and left.

I can’t fault the Dynapower LS for distance because I was hitting drives up to and around 300 yards with the majority of them being between 280 and 290 yards. These numbers were achieved with both lofts and the spin was averaging around 2200rpm which is on the low side of where I like it, but not detrimental.

For a golfer who wants to take the left-hand side out of play, add distance, and keep spin low, the Dynapower LS is a brilliant model to consider. The beauty is, it’s not unforgiving.

Forgiveness and Control

I was astonished by how forgiving this LS driver is. Usually, low-spin drivers are wicked if you miss the middle or don’t quite put a perfect swing on it – not with the Dynapower LS. My miss with a driver tends to be out of the heel – weird considering my bad shot is left… I know – but the ball still traveled a long distance and didn’t deviate massively offline. Obviously, it’s not as forgiving as the Dynapower Carbon, or the Dynapower Max – which should challenge the most forgiving drivers. However, I was never scared of a bad shot because I knew it wouldn’t be terrible.

On that last point, I think a lot of that comes from how much confidence I had looking at the driver head at address, but I’ll get onto that in the next section. Because of how much forgiveness the Dynapower LS exhibits, you get a lot more control than I would have expected too. Thanks to the workability, weights, and adjustments to the loft and lie, this is a very easy driver to manipulate to find the right setup to help it have maximum control for your game.

Having been designed to eliminate the left, the Dynapower LS is naturally a club I’m fond of, but I think that even if you want to take the right-hand side out of play you can, by finding the right setup for you because of how forgiving and controlling it is.

Looks, Sound, and Feedback

I think this driver looks amazing down behind the ball because – as I see it – it looks open. The Dynapower LS driver has massive shelf appeal too which will help it stand out in a very crowded marketplace. It’s very sleek and modern. Also, it’s extremely clean, with not a lot going on. I really like the face of the driver because it almost forces you to find the middle when you’re setting up.

Sound and feedback almost go hand in hand with the Dynapower LS, if you hit a good one you can hear it and you can feel it. However, if you hit a bad one you can still hear it but you wish you never felt it. I love this level of feedback because you know instantly if you made solid connection or not. I get not every golfer will enjoy this level of feedback but I think it’s great. The plus side is when you really nail one, it feels amazing and it sounds incredible, it makes you want to relive that sensation again… and again… and again.

Technology and Components

There’s only one stock offering in the Dynapower LS (True Temper Denali Black 60) and it’s a very strong option, but there are more shafts to choose from if you get fitted for a Wilson driver. The shaft offerings that aren’t stock are brilliant. You should be able to find a suitable shaft among all of the options Wilson have. The same goes for the grip too, the stock Lamkin Crossline 360 grip is a premium grip, but there are many more available if you get your Wilson Dynapower LS driver custom-built.

The technology and components built into the head itself are so intrinsic and advanced that I really believe this is Wilson’s best driver to date. Moving the weights around in the head does make a difference, so much so that if I put the heavier 12g weight forward the driver also becomes unplayable, but when the lighter 6g weight is in the front, the driver launches the ball much higher and makes the Dynapower LS a viable option for my game.

Final Verdict

I would go as far as to say that the Dynapower LS driver is the best Wilson driver ever produced. Considering a driver is intended to hit the ball far (tick), be exciting (tick), and look good (tick), this driver has it all. For an LS model, it’s super confidence-inspiring, I didn’t even notice the head was smaller until I put it down next to the Carbon model, and even then I probably only noticed because it was pointed out to me. I genuinely think you should give the Dynapower LS model a go, even if you aren’t sure about a low-spin driver because I was massively surprised by how high-performing this driver was for me and I don’t like the ball to spin low at all.
