Wilson Golf introduces all-new Dynapower Forged irons
Wilson Golf has this week unveiled its all-new Dynapower Forged irons.
The new irons are constructed from 8620 carbon steel and feature an advanced Wilson Golf AI technology system. This system incorporates a new Variable Face Thickness in design to ensure faster ball speeds across the clubface.
“By utilising AI during construction and investing more in R&D, we’ve been able to thoroughly test every possible variation to deliver a forged iron that will offer incredible feel and distance off the club face, while provide an aesthetically appealing, thinner look from the top-line and at address,” said Jon Pergande, Manager of Wilson Golf Club Innovation.
The Enhanced Power Hole Technology construction (4-7 irons) combines with Variable Face Thickness in a bid to to deliver maximum distance, while the combination of a high MOI construction, a low centre of gravity and the redistribution of weight towards the toe seeks to offer a more forgiving, higher-launching shots with excellent stopping power on the greens.
Available to buy from next month, Dynapower Forged irons stock shaft options include the premium KBS Tour Lite in steel (R 95g & S 100g) and the Mamiya UST Recoil DART 75 in graphite (65g). Both versions come equipped with a Wilson Lamkin Crossline 360 grip.

The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
Three years later, Morikawa has once again changed his irons to deal with the unique Scottish turf.
Morikawa has been using TaylorMade P730 blade short irons (7-PW), P7MC mid irons (5-6) and a TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron with a cavity-back construction this year.
However, he switched into a new set of TaylorMade P7CB irons (5-PW) before finishing T4 at last week’s Genesis Scottish Open, to go along with his familiar “Proto” 4-iron. TaylorMade’s P7CB irons are the finalized versions of the “Proto” 4-iron that Morikawa has been using, except they remain unreleased to retail.
According to TaylorMade, Morikawa switched into a full set of the new P7CB irons to aid with turf interaction, just like he did prior to his 2021 Open victory.
Morikawa is honing in on his winning formula overseas.
Morikawa also has switched from his usual TaylorMade Qi10 5-wood to a lower-launching TaylorMade P790 3-iron equipped with a Project X HZRDUS 105 Hybrid shaft. The loft of the club has been bent down to 19 degrees.
TaylorMade says that Morikawa switched into the new driving iron In order to “have an option to hit something lower that will roll out in the fairways.”
