The Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid is really fast and really consistent. Unusual – but not unappealing – shape. One of the easiest hybrids to hit for 2025.
Introduction
Wilson made a strong statement about their continued relevance in the game with their new DYNAPWR Carbon driver [review HERE]. And while driver will always be the glamor category, after testing the entire DYNAPWR line up, the club that stood out the most was the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid. Read on to find out what makes this club stand out in a crowded field of long game tools.
Looks
The first thing that sets the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid apart are its dimensions. It’s really long from heel to toe – as long as any super game improvement hybrid that I’ve measured. This is paired with a front to back measurement that would fit into the players category and a face height that falls between players and game improvement. The shape is nearly symmetrical under a gloss black crown with a small, square alignment aid.
In the bag, the DYNAPWR hybrid is less remarkable. The middle of the sole is gloss black, flanked by sections of matte black. Wilson branding is centered, surrounded by a moderate amount of geometric designs. One small slash of red disrupts the otherwise black and silver palette.
Sound & Feel
Wilson touts “precision rib placement” as the cause for the “muted, powerful sound.” I’m in agreement with the first half. The Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid is quiet at impact, even when striking a harder golf ball. While there is a subjective element to sound, I don’t find the sound to be “powerful.” It alternates between a tight, high pitched “clink” on better strikes and a lower pitched, slightly hollow “tock” on misses.
The feedback through the hands is much less clear. There’s very little reward for a perfect strike and little penalty for a miss – everything feels light on the face. I also got a hollow sense at impact, but the face didn’t feel thin or fast. For me, it wasn’t a very exciting impact feel, but I would happily give up an exciting feel for the results I saw from this club.
Performance
I started swinging the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid without much in the way of expectations. If I’m being honest, I was also getting to the end of a testing session, and my effort and focus were waning. The first ball rocketed off the face with elite speed and a gorgeous mid-high trajectory. When the second, third, and fourth balls followed almost exactly the same path, this club had my full attention.
The most standout characteristic of the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid is the extremely high, consistent ball speed. With such muted feedback, I had to turn to impact tape to know how I was striking the ball because my ball speed gave no indication if I hit it perfectly or poorly. I was so impressed with the results from my first session that I wasn’t sure I believed them, but subsequent testing showed that same level of repeatability.
Alongside this consistent speed is high, consistent launch. Short of using only the bottom groove, this club launched every shot on a beautiful trajectory. The spin is about average – and it stayed robust across the face – which kept the ball flight strong. This is a club that can hold the green even after a carry well over 200 yards.
Finally, the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid wants to go straight. The engineers at Wilson clearly used that long heel to toe dimension to give this club high MOI. This isn’t the club for artful, 5 yard fades, but if you want point and shoot accuracy, it’s hard to beat. Even when I hit an ugly pull or push, the ball flew straight rather than continuing to stray further from the target.
Conclusion
If you want a hybrid to make your long game easier, the Wilson DYNAPWR hybrid is among the best. This club has elite ball speed and forgiveness, and it just wants to go straight. Anyone who gives this a try will walk away impressed with Wilson Golf.

Matt,
I just did a full Wilson fitting yesterday and couldn’t agree more about this hybrid. I also did the 4h with the stock Denali Red 80g stiff shaft. My strikes were all within a 10 yd front to back dispersion and it felt fantastic. Was one of the big surprises of the fitting (outside of the Ai Fit, which is awesome). Height was well over 110′ on average across the sample. It’s definitely going to be a sleeper club in my bag this season.
Great review Matt and if I was in the market for a hybrid I’d bag this without hesitation. I have the older version Wilson Staff model CB irons, fitted with my preferred s300 shafts and I absolutely love them. Perform so so well. Anyone who turns up their nose at Wilson equipment is doing themselves a disservice. Quality equipment
Wow this sounds great, I’m really looking forward to trying this club out.
I have been looking for a 4 iron replacement, and being a Wilson Staff fan I can’t wait.
Wilson Staff has made huge gains over the years. Plus they have military discount to.
For those who have served it big deal.
Can’t wait.
Did you hit the 5 and 6 hybrid? If so, did the faces tend to be more closed than the 3 and 4?
No.
How timely this review is for me. I was just about to pull the trigger on another brand . I won’t be doing that until I get a chance to test these, they sound awesome.
