Most Successful Irons You Are Overlooking? Wilson Irons Head-To-Head

Wilson irons have the most Major titles of any golf brand, yet they are often not considered when players pick new equipment.
So, is there a new iron line-up worth testing this season? I got my hands on the Wilson Staff Model blades, Wilson Staff Model CB's, Wilson Staff Dynapower Forged and Wilson Staff Dynapower irons to find out!
I also did a little nearest-the-pin challenge to see which iron I was most accurate with.

Wilson have always made great clubs, and they are definitely back as a bag worthy manufacturer. Their price point is also correct.

[@harrste11]

Wilson D9 is a great iron and happy I have them.

[@ShaunY1988]

Same, I have the D9 forged irons, been playing my best golf since I got them.

[@ssc00p]

Both... I mean, I got D9s first but in vanity I had to get the Forged ones since they were such a beautiful irons compared to cast ones... but ofc they perform great too. Got my first HIO too, played my second season last year...

[@craig3775]

It was nice to see you admitted, like all of us, to having preconceived ideas regarding the models. Bladed irons should be much wider used than they are. If you use easier forgiving chunky monkeys, your ability to improve is reduced. With bladed irons, you open up a whole new world of trajectory and flight control. This debate has been going for 50 years so I don't think my comments will change a single thing. When you know, you just know quietly.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Yes I do think using smaller clubs is better for forcing you to improve. Not everyone wants to improve though and bigger clubs can make the game easier for people who just want to go out and have fun!

[@hillyhog3064]

Seriously underrated clubs. I've had a set of D9 Forged for over year and couldn't be happier. Mind you those new blades do look absolutely incredible. Surprised you don't see more club golfers using them. Their loss.

[@DannyBoy-jy1kq]

My first full set was a Wilson blade. Made me use blades ever since. Take your time with them and concentrate and you’ll be fine.

[@davet2625]

I've got some Wilson staff fg59's. Absolutely lovely.

[@GP-tt2te]

I'd game a Wilson iron over Callaway or TaylorMade any day. Those blades are stunning.

[@waynemoore2897]

I love Wilson’s they are real value for money, I have the D9 Forged and if I were changing them I would go for the Dynapwa forged, look quality. Keep up the great work Wilson 👏👏👏

[@JoshuaZwilling]

I was pretty set on the Dynapower forged to replace my D7 forged, but it looks like I am going to have to hit the CB's and the blades as well! Great Video!

[@simonread732]

Bought the D9s last year fantastic clubs and great value.

[@stephenurso9267]

I have a set of Wilson staff FG51 tour blades from the early 90s and I still can't find a better set of irons than them! They are amazing irons!

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Never felt right with these earlier irons. Might give one or two of these a try. Love their fairway woods and hybrids

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

aw the cb's and mb's are just beautiful irons - great review

[@hannahholdenNCG]

They are so good looking!!

[@bryansmith7490]

It's a great video, and I have always wanted to try Wilson for the brand's heritage.

[@michaelbledsoe1060]

Well well, that does not surprise me. I am still playing with the 6,7,8,9, and PW of my Staff FG 17 Tour Blades. I'm 68 and play a 2800 yard 9 hole course. Still love the feel of the Staff blades. Nice review Hannah. Cheers from Texas. 🤠⛳🏌️

[@Administrator7]

Every brand has something amazing. Titleist makes great golf balls, Taylor Made makes amazing Woods, Wilson makes the prettiest irons, Puma/Cobra/Addidas shoes / Ping makes great Putters and Golf Bags... It's just the way the indstry is

[@bristolreiki]

As a beginner I swapped my secondhand TM irons for new D9s. These can still be found new for a fantastic price

[@robertholloway6887]

I’ve used Wilson master blades since last summer, I love them got 5-pw and have just ordered 4 iron in cb play off 17 ,71 years old . Feel I could do with more distance. But tried going back to my PXGs for the winter and they felt like I was wielding a cricket bat, so it’s been blades all winter plus fairway woods for distance. I love them,great feel, great sound.😊😊😊

[@graememilford1243]

Hi Hannah i am a senior golfer with a 9 handicap i have aiways used Wilson staff irons all the time ie C6, Ci9 and the Ci11 irons very forgiving and very underated

[@locobenno9435]

I switched into the Wilson CB from a Titleist AP2 and the Wilson feels so much better hands down, love the shorter blade length and they fly further than the AP2 on a regular swing while maintaining spin - BUT - and it's a big 'but' because the Wilson heads are heavy....I've been playing the Modus Tour 120x forever and figured I'd get it put into the Wilsons "just becaue", but it didn't work out at all, I ended up going to a Modus Tour 105x which is 8g lighter so I could get my swing weight back to where I'm used to....still no complaints but (another 'but') I would encourage anyone keen on Wilson to get fit .....I didn't have the option so I've fit myself, but its a caveat for sure....also noting that I wasn't up-charged for the Modus shaft so Wilson are very flexible for shaft options, which is a massive plus

[@hannahholdenNCG]

always try different shafts with each head! all clubs play so different, this is why fitting is super important1

[@eaflom]

Just bought the Staff CBs and love them

[@JT-xs4br]

I got the cb’s and love them. More work then my d9 forged but I want to work on my ball striking this year so I went to the cb’s!

[@duncanajpv8]

Great review, always love seeing real shots into a green, blade for the win (I use Wilson blades!)

[@josephdubiel7129]

Awesome review as always Hannah. Thank you.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

thanks!

[@craiglyons8282]

Great video Hannah, you definitely got the swing to game the blades, maybe a combo of the blades and the CB's??

[@cynt1111]

Got D9 irons and Dynapower driver hit all of them great, i’m slightly tempted towards the D9 forged.

[@JiKimbo]

Great striking Hannah! Those blades look great. I've just moved to a blended set of srixon zx7/5/4 and loving the accuracy of the scoring clubs. Much better front to back dispersion

[@robertbeato2795]

Wore out a pair of Wilson FG V6’s, now have the 2021 staff cbs, just picked up a few of the 2024 dynapower forged for a split set (looking for a bit more forgiveness on my 4-7

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Nice set up 👌🏼

[@freddywayne]

Wilsons clubs are amazing! The D9s feels supernaturally good for a game-improvement iron.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

The D9 is a great iron

[@florianganger9571]

Great review Hannah, I did the same testing 😊and ordered the blades 😎💪🏻😏

[@scottt3491]

[@davidparsons5727]

Great review.

[@danielrice7409]

Hannah great video and Wilson is definitely underrated when it comes to irons. Gary Woodland won the US Open at Pebble using the previous model Staff blades. Really enjoy your content.

[@WillC-pt3so]

Great review as always Hannah 👍

[@sevesellors2831]

Great review Hannah, Wilson offer great clubs at great prices will try the Dynapwr and forged version. I think you should go for a Wilson fitting just to see which iron could be for you. Thanks for doing a Wilson test so underrated and perhaps give the woods and balls a test they are surprisingly good too.

[@jrbackhouse86]

Wilson have nailed woods and irons in their last 2 drops

[@gtpwilly3503]

Nice review. The Staff Model clubs are traditional lofted so will go less distance but for me are better to hit vs game improvment clubs.

[@eddiemaylor2716]

Those blades look really nice, I might need to practice a bit before I try them out though.

[@CharlotteK2008]

Love the new shield logo too without the W/S

[@hannahholdenNCG]

good spot! The new logo is smart

[@home4ya]

Great review Hannah! Id love to play a "less popular but old school" Wilsons, which model would give me some forgivness, height, less offset and spin I need here in AZ as a low left drawer of the ball. I play 923Hm-HL but they are bit too large, are any of these maybe a slightly smaller version of mine? Guessing the forged?

[@hannahholdenNCG]

The dynapower forged will definitely be smaller than what you have!

[@user-ms5ve9rj8k]

Just returned to golf as recently retired, so really in need of an upgrade from my mizuno 2003 set that you know if not hit centre.17yrs is a long time to not have played but 4 games in i managed to break 80 with my old set but i have lost about 10yds with my irons .Great video as have been thinking about wilson D9 forged as have never played with anything other than forged.I had butter knives before the mizuno lol.Oh now subscribed.👍

some awesome strikes there Hannah well done your looking amazing as well i like the dynapower forged i think for me i am 59 years old and a 8 handicap so i think they would be great time will tell be safe be well and cheers from Vulcan Canada

I got a set of D9s. I found that sometimes I would hit hotspots, and flew too many greens.

[@gregcarnall9097]

Wilson make great irons and i have had some cracking sets in the past, for value for money i dont think they can be beat. Great review Hannah :)

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Hello Hanna. New subscriber here. Great pattern around that flagstick, nice shooting. Those Wilsons look terrific and perform just as well. Decades ago, I played with only a partial set of department store clubs. My brother in law gave me a very old Wilson 4 iron blade with a worn out grip he had laying around his garage. By far better than the beginner cavity backs in the bag. I'd stick it close to the cup more often than not. I probably should've upgraded my set to Wilson blades then and there!

[@grahamtootill6680]

Hi Hannah just bought the dynapower irons and hybrids what are your thoughts on dynapower driver , for 20 handicapper

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Yes good point!

[@homeofinventions]

Looking great.

[@IvanProsper]

Not sure if I missed it, but were the shaft all the same flex? I would love the CB or blade, but I think I need a regular shaft and have only ever seen them listed with stiff shafts.

[@richardllewellyn2633]

I’ve played Wilson’s until recent when I changed to cobra trails I like the look of the Dynapower forged but think 7-GW would be it plus hybrids

[@DJRyanWalker]

I do genuinely feel they should just stick with the Dynapower and Staff lines. When the new Dynapower range came out last year it was such a breath of fresh air. It was the first time they had nailed their marketing and also the results surprised a lot of people.

[@robertgray1756]

Big fan of WS. Think they all look great appearance wise. Like you say need to do a personal feel test.

[@grahamdavis8997]

There was 6° loft difference between the Dynapower and the CB and Blade. 24° v 30° in the other two. Goes to show, loft is your friend if your swing speed is moderate to slow. No Gap Wedge needed.

[@grahamperring6350]

D9s are great.

[@ClassicGolfClubs]

I've got a set of 62/63 Dynapowers and they're beautiful irons. Wilson's Fluid Feel hosel goes back to the late 1950s, but the idea first surfaced in the hickory days with the Carruthers patent at the end of the 19th century.

[@blackheart7886]

You need to do a whole round with those Wilson blades... they're beautiful.

[@vincentbartolini283]

Wilson blades and cb’s are the best clubs on the market.

[@edwinlambley2801]

Wilson forged irons are so underrated. A big problem for them is the amount of pro shops that stock them so they aren't in the golfers eye.

[@craigmitchell8339]

I have the Wilson model blades .. best looking clubs but not easiest to hit all time .. obviously the lofts will be different on those 6 irons ???

A player like you could easily play the blade from PW to 7 iron with the 6 & 5 in the CB.

[@terrymccusker7779]

I still have my Deep Red fat shaft & Di9 irons…I pull them out once a year for grins & there is not a lot of difference to what I am currently playing

[@oliver69cork46]

Play the cbs from 2 to gw and just love them. Probably overlooked because they lost market share to the more popular makes then attacked the cheaper entry clubs hence lost that image of quality which they're fighting to retain but getting ther more wins,a big company with tradition, they'll be back soon near the top.

[@ultimatejay]

All those clubs have different lofts except the cb and blade which are at 34 degrees. How are you hitting them all the same distance with the same swing? That;s im;possible. The weaker loft would require for you to swing a lot harder.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

It would be impossible for a robot that has a perfectly repeatable swing and set-up unfortunately the same can’t be said for actually golfers. Even visual changes can cause us to swing differently. For example I know with clubs with thicker soles I shallow my attack angle to avoid too much sole turf interaction. Also when I see less loft on the club I instinctively add dynamic loft through the ball. Lots to consider with clubs other than the static loft

[@benmoore3839]

I don’t think it’s about ‘how much forgiveness you need’ these days, there are so many compact, hollow-body ‘players’ irons around these days that are so much more forgiving than they were a few years ago, it’s more about how much help do you need with launch and shot elevation, a stronger player will get enough launch with most irons, personally I love the feedback ‘players’ offer, even if I’m probably not quite skilled enough to use them properly lol

[@jrbackhousegolf]

I would never put you down as a blades player

[@mitchy7051]

wilson blade is not a true blade - more of titleist cb, and the wilson cb are closer to titliest t100, maybe even thicker. with Hannahs club speed 6 iron and down (maybe even 5) she is going to be way more accurate and have better gaps with the blades than any other club - loft and spin are an elite players best friend! only downside with wilson is upcharge on shafts - price out a set with modus 120 and GP NDC and your jaw will drop :(
