I tried these when they first came out, thinking they would be my next iron set. I ended up deciding on the D7 Forged which were new but sold for used. They felt even softer to me and gave better numbers for me. The D9 Forged and the Mizuno 921 Forged were second best for me. The best numbers to attest to how good they are is that my handicap has gone from a 7 to a 2.8 and I scored my lowest score ever 68.

D7’s for me as well, had arranged a fitting with the pro I’m getting lessons with and a member came in that afternoon to trade the D7’s in for some staff CB Wilson’s. Clubs were immaculate so a 35% saving for me with the lie angle tweaked , love them. Have bought the 3,4 iron as well which was a mistake as 3H replaces those but trying to force myself to use the irons more as less roll than the 3H

Many years ago, I had a set of Deep Red Fat Shaft Woods, Driver, 3 wood & 5 wood. I remember going on holiday to Thailand and went to Laem Chebang with Pattaya Sports Club, I was out with 3 others, 1 of which was a 2 handicap golfer. When my caddy took the head cover off the driver to hand to me, she immediately started looking at herself in the reflective head, such was it’s shininess! The 2 handicap guy said, “what’s that”? “Wilson deep red” I replied. “Hmm, Wilson make good tennis rackets” he says. He wasn’t so cheeky after I hit it 20 yrds past him! Wilson also make very good golf clubs, ask Padraig.

My new D9 Forged are due to arrive on Monday. Long 6+ week wait for them. I tried everything in this category and came down to Mizuno Pro 225, Cobra Forged Tec (2021 version), and the Wilson D9 Forged. They feel as soft or softer than the Mizuno, better dispersion than anything else, as long or longer than the others and they look great! I'm 72 and ordered them with Recoil ESX 460 R shafts. After Sophie Walker did her review awhile back, I was sure they would work for my swing speed, and they did! Anyone looking in this category of iron should do themselves a favor and try them, you won't be disappointed.

I just got a set just because of all the good reviews on every KZbin channel, I usually shoot between 85-95 and I find these fairly hard to hit and have lost distance over my ltdx irons, I am playing my first game with them tomorrow morning, not really looking forward to it. My conclusion is Wilson wanted to shift these clubs towards the end of the season and have just sent them out to everyone on the promise for a good review, whether is genuine or not.
