Tested by a Lady Golfer: Wilson Women’s Dynapower Hybrid Review

Featuring weighting that produces high launch angles and a forgiving club face, could this be the easiest hybrid to hit?

It’s well known that golfers who find it challenging to consistently strike long irons have opted for hybrid clubs to help them manage their mid-to-long approach shots more effectively. Higher lofted fairway woods and hybrids tend to appear in lady golfer’s bags more and more these days, so it’s no wonder brands like Wilson, who offer some of the best hybrids on the market, put a lot of time and effort into research and design when it comes to rescue club technology.

Wilson have achieved a great balance of distance and forgiveness with the Dynapower range, where internal weighting places the center of gravity low and towards the rear of the clubhead, resulting in a high Moment of Inertia (known as MOI, which is a measurement of the clubhead’s resistance to any form of twisting at impact) head that offers increased forgiveness and higher launch angles.

The club head design features a tour-style profile, which aims to enhance confidence at address. The club face on the Dynapower hybrid is optimized by A.I., which ensures the club has a variable thickness to help with consistency, leading to optimal ball speeds and enhanced forgiveness.

Initial Thoughts

When I unboxed the Wilson Women’s Dynapower Hybrid, I was immediately impressed by it’s quality, and all aspects of the design. In particular, the simple design of the sole, and the beautifully domed crown.

I also like the choice of blue for the ladies’ range here, Wilson haven’t just stuck a pink or purple colour onto the clubs to make them stand out against the men’s versions. The colour scheme is such that it would easily fit into any golf bag, regardless of who is holding the club.

As someone who plays with regular flex, I was expecting the shaft on the Women’s Dynapower Hybrid to feel a bit too flexible for me, but giving it a wiggle for the first time, it didn’t feel too whippy at all, and I was excited to try it out on the course.

Look and Feel

I loved the matte black finish on the crown of the club, and could immediately tell it would be a great visual contrast to both the golf ball at address, and the green of the fairways and rough of the course. The blue accent lines on the top of the head I felt really accentuated the slim design of the head.

The clubface is fairly shallow, which makes it feel slightly more like a fairway wood than a traditional hybrid. For me, this was great, as it gave me confidence when I was stood over the golf ball. The silver Even Flow shaft is a lovely contrast to the black head, too, and the Lamkin Crossline grip felt very soft and comfortable and in-hand.

The first few shots I hit with the Wilson Dynapower Women’s Hybrid went high and straight. The club felt incredibly solid on contact with the golf ball, and it made a pleasant sound, even when I hit the ball off-center.

Performance

Whilst I thought the ladies’ specification shaft may have been too flexible for my swing speed, I was pleasantly surprised with how the Wilson Women’s Dynapower Hybrid performed for me out on the golf course. The Project X Even Flow 50g shaft felt solid, even on shots that I thinned slightly, and allowed me to feel where the clubhead was in my downswing.

Distance wise, I was shocked to see this 22.5ᴼ 4-hybrid reach as far as my current 17ᴼ 3-wood. It allowed me to take on shots from longer grass that I wouldn’t usually attempt, as I could confidently get the clu behind the ball easier than with a fairway wood.

I also noticed that I was getting a much steeper launch than I was used to with any hybrid clubs I’d used in the past, which was thanks to the rear weighting of the Wilson Women’s Dynapower range, giving the head a high MOI and in turn, a higher ball flight.

Forvigeness

Out of all the shots I hit with the Wilson Women’s Dynapower Hybrid, I would say 90% of them were pretty much on target. I had the odd topped shot (ouch) and one or two pulled shots, but the majority went where I was aiming, even on the hits where the ball didn’t strike the center of the club face.

The club felt very forgiving in hand, with shots that I didn’t feel I’d made ideal contact with, still reaching a similar distance to my current 3-wood. I felt it got through rough quite easily, too, with no real snagging in the longer cuts of grass.

Whilst the club did the job in correcting any slight mis-hits, I did feel lots of physical feedback via the shaft from off-centre hits. I really like this as it allows me to feel what has gone wrong in my swing, as well as seeing the physical effect on the golf ball and it’s flight.

The forgiveness in this women’s hybrid comes from Dynapower AI, a process that analyzed thousands of shot possibilities, to find the ideal thickness for each section of the clubface.

Final Verdict

This is the first hybrid since my white TaylorMade Rescue from 2011 that I’ve felt so confident in hitting consistently. I love the matte black finish, which contrasts the golf ball nicely at address, and reduces any glare off the crown from sunlight.

I was very impressed by the length this hybrid achieved for me, and it played incredibly well from the rough. It felt incredibly forgiving across all shots, and felt as if the ball really flew off the face well.

Overall, it’s a club I would definitely look to put in my bag!

Also consider

If you’re looking for a hybrid with a less shallow profile, then the TaylorMade Qi10 Max Hybrid would be a good alternative, and if you’re looking to get the ball up in the air a bit easier Callaway Paradyn Ai Smoke HL Hybrid, which is designed for higher launch.
