If you want to hit the ball farther, I've found the irons for you!

The 2025 Wilson Dynapower irons are one of the longest irons I’ve ever played with. This game-improvement iron should help golfers add distance and increase forgiveness, do they live up to expectations?

Every golfer is excited by the prospect of increasing distance, whether it’s with a driver or a set of the best golf irons. By adding distance in your iron game, you’ll be able to hit a shorter iron into greens, which should give you more accuracy and control. In turn, this should give you a better look at holing the putt and ultimately shooting lower scores. However, is distance everything when it comes to irons? I’m going to answer that in my review of the Wilson Dynapower 2025 irons.

I’d be lying if I said I haven’t enjoyed hitting pitching wedges into the green from 165 yards while I’ve been testing the Wilson Dynapower 2025 irons. I can’t criticize these irons one bit with regard to distance. What I would say for definite is if you do opt to slot Dynapower 2025 irons into your bag – or any of the best game-improvement irons – you’ll benefit from adding in the set gap wedge to bridge the gap to your other wedges.

Hitting the ball far definitely makes the game easier, or does it? I suppose it’s only easier if you have the same level of control. Although I’ve been hitting the Wilson Dynapower 2025 irons roughly 25 yards longer than my current irons – the Ben Hogan PTx Tour Irons – I wouldn’t say that I’ve had the same level of control. That could very well be down to human error, or it could be that I don’t get on as well with the Dynapower 2025 irons as I do with players’ irons.

For the right golfer, these can be a very solid set of irons. However, I don’t think they’re any better than the original Dynapower irons, or other more recent previous models. I know that seems like a very bold statement but I do have my reasons to believe that.

You might think awarding a set of irons that travel for miles, are easy to hit, and are packed with technology 4 out 5 is slightly harsh, and you might be right, but there’s a lot more to consider when you’re investing in a set of irons.

Distance and Spin

I think it’s only fair to comment first on distance and spin with the Dynapower 2025 irons because one of these two areas is very strong while the other… not so much.

If I was giving a rating for distance alone, I would be inclined to award the Dynapower 2025 irons at least 4.5 out of 5, but factoring in spin too, it definitely drops the overall rating for this category. Carry distance with these irons is very long, and that’s exactly what they’re designed for. They’re intent on helping golfers find more distance, and sadly that does come with a reduction of spin.

I’ve played a couple of rounds with the Dynapower 2025 irons at my home course, Cleveland Golf Club, and I’ve concluded that the distance and spin isn’t optimal for my game. However, I do understand they aren’t intended for someone like me. In the hands of a golfer who wants more distance, and can afford to lose spin they are a definite contender. That being said, I much preferred the original Dynapower irons because I felt the balance between distance and spin was better.

Forgiveness and Control

I awarded the Dynapower 2025 irons the same rating for forgiveness and control as I did for distance and spin. That might surprise some of you reading this because they’re game improvement irons, designed to be forgiving. But I would say they’re as much an iron to help with distance as they are with forgiveness.

If the categories were distance and forgiveness, and spin and control, they’d probably be awarded 4.5 out of 5 for the former, and 3.5 out of 5 for the latter.

The Dynapower 2025 irons are forgiving, but that’s to be expected from an iron of this nature. They aren’t extremely forgiving, if you want maximum forgiveness then you’d benefit more from playing with the Dynapower Max irons.

For the intended golfer, you will get a lot of enjoyment from putting the Dynapower 2025 irons in your bag because they fly off the face and travel a good distance. That being said, because of how springy the face is they aren’t the best for control. It’s much easier to catch a flyer with these than it is with my current irons, but they are in a different iron category.

Again, I will say that I didn’t find the face of the original Dynapower irons – or even the D9 and D7 – to be as hot as the Dynapower 2025 irons. Personally, this isn’t something I like, but for the golfer who wants extra distance this is great.

Looks, Sound, and Feedback

I think these irons look amazing on the shelf, but sadly, I don’t have the same opinion of them when they’re down behind the ball. I’m not a fan of how much offset they have and how thick the top line is. However, they’re massively confidence-inspiring which is great considering the golfer they’re intended for.

The biggest negative I have when they’re behind the ball is how strongly lofted they appear. I know they are a strong-lofted set of irons, but they look even stronger behind the ball. The longest iron I’ve played with is a 5-iron and it looks to have a similar loft to my 3-iron – I wouldn’t rush to game a 4-iron in the Dynapower 2025 set.

I feel like the feedback is extremely muted from every iron in the set. Although the strength of feedback does improve as you move down the bag into the shorter irons, it still isn’t profound. It’s hard to distinguish exactly where the ball has hit the face, partly because of how forgiving they are, and how springy the face is, but I would prefer slightly more feedback.

The sound is very typical for an iron of this nature with a hollow-body construction. It’s fairly crisp, although because of the weak feedback, the sound can also be quite muted. Sound isn’t a major factor for golfers investing in irons, but it’s nice when they sound good as opposed to sounding like you’re playing with a frying pan.

Technology and Components

I debated awarding the Dynapower 2025 irons 5 out of 5 for technology and components because they’re packed with essential technology that allows these irons to perform as intended, and there’s a wide range of shaft, grip, and set makeup options. However, I landed on 4.5 out of 5 because there still aren’t the shaft options you can have with other brands.

From the PKR-CUP face design to the Velocity Optimization Channel (VOC), these irons are extremely technologically advanced, which is what makes them such a strong contender among the best irons of 2025.

The stock setup options aren’t the most exciting, but the new Wilson Fit AI tool can help you find the perfect set makeup for your game. I was massively impressed by this fitting tool because, after only a couple of swings, it found the ideal setup for my game. Once again, highlighting the importance of being custom-fitted for golf clubs.

Final Verdict

For the right golfer, the Wilson Dynapower 2025 irons are a very solid set of irons. If you need help getting more distance out of your iron game, these irons are a brilliant option. Also, if you have a ballooning ball flight, the reduction of spin will be music to your ears. They fill you with a ton of confidence when you address the ball, especially the long irons – it looks like they’re impossible to miss with.

Personally, they aren’t a set of irons I’d be rushing to put in the bag because they don’t suit my game. I will also say it’s worth checking out previous models because they’re also really good. If I was looking at a set of irons to travel a mile, I wouldn’t look past these irons. However, for me, distance isn’t a priority when I’m looking for irons.
