Wilson 2026 Dynapwr Forged Iron deals
The Wilson Dynapwr Forged iron enters a crowded and competitive category, blending the aesthetics of a player’s iron with the distance and forgiveness producing technology typically found in game-improvement models.
Aimed at players seeking added forgiveness and distance without sacrificing a premium look and feel, this iron promises to offer a lot.

In terms of the tech, the Dynapwr Forged is built on a forged 8620 carbon steel face and body, and it utilizes variable face thickness technology, optimized by A.I. simulation, to increase face flexion and energy transfer for more distance and speed. To further enhance feel, the cavity is filled with TE-031 Urethane, which dampens vibrations at impact.
The visual story here is a mixed bag for me. In comparison to last year’s model, the back cavity just feels a little fussier, lacking the clean simplicity I prefer. However, looking holistically, the overall aesthetic has probably taken a turn for the better.

I much prefer the Wilson shield when it is used without the letters, as they have on this model – it looks cleaner and more modern. I also like that it has decided to cover up the unpleasant black lines on the sole of last year’s model, opting for a more traditional sole visual.
While it is great to hear about and feel the benefit of the technology stories, I don’t need to see them all the time.
Crucially, I found them to be noticeably softer than last year’s iteration, which is a significant improvement. The forged construction and urethane filling work well together to provide a satisfying, muted impact feel that is a step up from previous generations.

The distance and ball speed output from my testing on my Foresight Sports GC3 Launch monitor was pretty strong, and more importantly, very consistent. Even from some fairly poorly struck iron shots, the retention of carry distance was admirable, going a long way to proving the forgiveness claims of the variable face thickness technology.

However, I do have a hunch that these irons could be somewhat cannibalised by the Staff Model XB from its own stable. Based on my testing, I can’t really find a compelling reason why someone would opt for this iron over the XB. Sure, it is marginally stronger in loft, but that can be quickly and easily altered on a loft and lie machine.
For me personally, a weakened off Staff Model XB presents a much more attractive overall package than the Dynapwr Forged for those seeking a ‘better player’ look with a distance boost.

However, if you’re someone who suffers with a slice and likes a bit of offset, or perhaps you prefer a more mirrored finish, then the Dynapwr Forged could well be the better choice. I would also suggest it offers a slightly more confidence-inspiring look at the address for the player who needs that visual reassurance.
Overall, the 2026 Dynapwr Forged is a nice enough-looking, solid-performing iron. It does everything it claims to do: it’s fairly long, forgiving, and genuinely feels good. However, despite all the good stuff from this iron, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I would much rather be playing the quite exceptional Staff Model XB iron.
