ROCKETS! Wilson D9 Irons

[@ndmagic99]

Wish they’d bring back the red/black logo. Best logo in golf

[@awp7662]

Nice looking clubs, will certainly inspire confidence for the guys that need it. Would like to see Wilson in more bags, they are after all one of the old school brands still making quality clubs without the recognition they deserve.

[@midnight4109]

I hope they don't get too much recognition or price will go up, Wilson is the real deal.

[@sikkelitmanen1524]

Great review, thank you. I'd love to see D9 tested with the average 7i clubhead speed 75-78 mph as these clubs are targeted to mid-high hcp golfers.

[@melwalker2135]

Another great review Michael, love how there is never any "golf" snobbery in your reviews. I am a senior golfer (66) playing off 8.7 and looking for something to help me stay competitive, these could be the ones could'nt they!

I’m very similar to you, in a recent iron fitting these were head and shoulders above the big brands.

Why don't we just skip a few years into the future and call the 18° 4 iron a 'Power Wedge'

[@avanaerle2445]

I bought these irons 3 weeks ago and got 4 strikes under my best ever score yesterday. The clubs feel great and they cover a great distance, even with a half or 3 quarter stroke. Good irons for a good price.

[@JJ-ic6pn]

I don't see the problem with cranked lofts. Std set is 5-GW but equivalent to 4-PW with others. It's just a number on the bottom. High flight and high decent angle will be of great benefit... until the wind blows 😁

[@adamchristensen6927]

I actually purchased a set of these and had the lofts weakend a couple degrees. I get them tomorrow! Can't wait!

[@conalsands4748]

And are you going to tell about them?

[@b3g699]

I appreciate the purity of your reviews. Clear and concise information through a thoughtful presentation. Well Done Michael!

[@narendradhaneswara2011]

Nice review. I like the content. Its #4 iron is very interesting. Its loft is 18 degree. It is a very good alternative for hybrid replacement. I'm looking forward whether you will do comparison test on Wilson D9 especially its #4 iron against other competitors which have same loft, 18 degree, such as Callaway MAVRIK #4 iron, TM SIM MAX OS #4 iron, TM SIM2 MAX OS #4 iron

[@Danny.A665]

I already purchased the D7 forged. Was very impressed at the fitting. Yes stronger lofted but with high ball flight and decent landing angle (43* with 7i) more than happy with these and at a excellent price point

[@howlingwolf125y]

Michael, been meaning to tell you this for a while,.. but you are absolutely, flat out, hands down, the best golf club reviewer on youtube. Clear and to the point, with good multiple angle video shots of what the clubs looks like.. all super good info.. I saw where they introduced the D9 irons, and was looking for specs like bounce, and offset (don't like a large amount of offset in irons) - and I couldn't find the specs anywhere. Sure enough, you have all the spec info in this video.. Thanks so much..

[@penelopelaliberte-grenier7460]

Very good review as usual Michael !. I was wondering witch club do you think is the most forgiving between the D9 irons and the Big Bertha B21? Thank!

[@johnnypenso9574]

Great review Mike. After you get through all the new club releases I think it's time to put up 3 or 4 different clubs hitting into the same green but with different styles of club. EG. 180 yds with a 9 iron from this set, an 8 iron from more of a players set and 7 iron from a more bladed or muscleback club. Would be a fascinating comparison!

[@MichaelNewtonGolf]

👍

[@stephenandrew8387]

Really like your videos, have tested and bought the Wilson CB Staff irons after watching your test, butter soft feel and amazing accuracy, thanks for your help.

[@justanaussie2822]

I just got fitted. The distance is huge. Even at 27 degrees I’m hitting 180 metres 201 yards. My old 6 iron was 29 and max distance was 160 metres. They are long. But I’m holding greens as well. Coupled with a 52, 56 and 60 degree CBX2 wedges. I m playing at 14 handicap down from 20. Only took 4 games. Phenomenal combination. Just do it.

[@MichaelNewtonGolf]

Sounds good 👍

[@conalsands4748]

Is massive distance on every single iron what every player wants like some par3s a pw might even be too much

[@jean-francoisrobitaille6560]

Great review! I got the D9's last week. 3-4 hybrids, 6-gw irons. I tried on the same session: Cobra Radspeed, Taylormade Sim 2 Max, Cleveland Launcher XL and Halo XL, Callaway Mavrik, Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal and the D9s. By far, the Wilson's gave me the most confidence, distance and dispersion. The result is the following. On 2 games in the indoor simulator (canadian winter), I did cut at least 15 shots to my score. Nice high end graphite Ventus 60g shafts, Lamkin grips... everything you need from good clubs. The best golf purchase I made so far... for that price???

[@bookemdano4680]

Did you attend a club fitting? Did you ask to try the D9’s or did they offer you? I’m going to be fitted and these are definitely on my radar along with the mizuno, ping, taylormade and cobra. As far as looks good I think the D9 and mizuno are the nicest looking.

Thanks- was just wondering 1.did you get any customised? Like diff. Shafts other than the ultralite max looked at the specs and the shafts also seem to be .5 in longer than standard did you notice they were longer than your old set ? (Ping) just on ping- it was between d9 and g425 I was looking at. 2. Did you keep the standard grip over midsize I was talking to a man on the range and he had the d9s and I just had to talk to him lol he had midsize grips and said they were the way to go but I know personal preference and all but they felt nice. 3. The biggest ick I have lol the lofts looking at a 7i with the 6i loft does go distance wise a normal 6i do the lower lofts make ball striking harder ? It's just the lower lofts and connecting with the ball off the turf is what I'm stuck on

[@christaylor4904]

@@conalsands4748 I was slightly worried about contact with lower lofts but don’t notice a thing , the feel off the face is fantastic which gives me confidence. I didn’t get any mods or adjustments but did have mid size grips on my previous pings and so eventually might get mid size grips fitted probably for next year. Didn’t notice too much difference with the shafts but just think the ultralight compliment the heads perfectly. I bought a 7 iron from eBay before I bought a set , the 7 iron went so well I couldn’t resist. Bought a set from pitching wedge to 6 iron.

[@greghoutchens2395]

Michael, great review. I started playing golf in 1978 with a set of Wilson Staff Irons, now playing the D7 Driver, 3,5 and7 woods with the Cobra T-Rail irons. I hope you do a review on the new Wilson Launch Pad Irons. With the T-Rails to adjust the lie I had to cut 1" off the shaft and with the Launch Pad I should be able to get them in 2-3 degree flat lie.

I have a 5 iron that works like a 7 and play it that way along with another longer 5 iron. Golfers think it's weird that I carry 2 5 irons but I don't need a 7 that way.

I think you’re right Mike - they won’t sell many 4 irons in sets, but they might sell a few individually as driving irons. Like you said, at 18 deg it is basically a 2 iron loft, so could be a genuine alternative as a driving iron. Looks awesome and performs a treat

[@simonknowles4955]

Great review as always thanks Michael! Up to recently I have never paid much attention to Wilson irons but having read reviews on the D7 and D7 forged and now seeing the positive comments on the D9's that is def changing. My handicap has hovered around 9-11 over the past few years using Ping iSeries and I had wanted to change this year to something more forgiving as my ball striking is very up and down (pardon the pun). I had decided to focus on the Ping G425 or G710 but someone mentioned to me to check out the D9's. I do wonder if these would be better for my handicap level or whether the D7 forged should be considered also? As for lofts absolutely no issue there, people seem to miss the point around the rest of the numbers i.e. they are not just calling a 5 iron a 7 iron, they are managing to get very high ball flights from these lofts so actually if you can hit a 7 iron the same distance as your old 5 iron but flight it much higher that's got to be good news :-)

[@jcjbike]

Michael... this isn't a 7 iron. It's a 6 iron. The club isn't giving you extra distance. It's simply the loft. Some club company will eventually decide to loft their 7 iron at 25 degrees and claim (accurately so) that their clubs hit even longer. I think you should have done a comparison with the D9 8 iron as it has the loft of most all 7 irons.

People always go mad when they see a "7" iron go so far. It's essentially a 5 iron (based on traditional lofts) so the spin and launch numbers are spot on.
