Purchased a Callaway Rogue in 2021 and does pretty good for me. Normally would not even think of Wilson for a driver. But will keep an eye on them now to see how they do going forward. Would at least consider it in my next driver fitting.

I would love to see Rick play a full round with these. Perhaps he, Guy and James could each pick a set of clubs to go "test" during a full round and get their takes on the clubs as well?

I bought the Wilson Dynapower Carbon driver and Dynapower 3/5 woods 2 months ago, and I’m so stoked with them. I hit so many different woods in the store, and the Dynapowers felt the best hands down. The simulator results proved it, too. It’s funny because Wilson wasn’t even on my radar. The best part was the set was $300-something less than the competition, which allowed me to splurge on a new putter. What can I say…the hype is real with the ‘23 Wilson woods.

I’ve always loved Wilson stuff. Played some Wilson clubs as a kid, used a Wilson tennis racket etc. I still use Wilson gloves and have a Wilson wedge in the bag. It’s nice to see them back as a more serious option for golfers again recently.

Love to see a great brand putting out a great value!! Don't need a thumper right now, but hopefully they stay on this track.

Thanks for the review Rick, this is going on my list of drivers to try for a fitting this year

Nice to see Wilson back in the game with a solid driver release.

Consistency off the tee was the best with this one. Knowing you are gonna hit the fairways more often is better for the mind and game. Everyone wants to hit bombs but if you're missing the fairways puts more pressure on the rest of your shots to keep your score low. I would love to see you play a round with that driver including the the stats after. Well done Rick. Good on.

Been using my wilson D9 for 18 months now, cracking driver. Glad to see them getting some more recognition again.

Great video as usual. Im here is the US and I’m not sure about retailers still have to check but on the Wilson website the carbon driver is $499 and the titanium is $429.

Perfect video just bought some irons looking for a premium driver that’s in this price range!! Thanks Rick!! 😎

I am so impressed. Good job Wilson making a comeback. I could see buying this club(s). Love the nod to history on this.

Good review. Play my D7 forged irons for 3yrs now, still can't find anything that performs by trackman that much better to force me to replace them.

0:54 i have these irons. They were my grandfathers and what i used to play when i got started. LOVE the old school leather grips. Nothing modern is near as comfortable. Grips still look brand new 50+ years later

Wilson are going for it. Their putters are fantastic as are their blades. Might be worth having a hit with the driver and see how it compares with the new Cally and TM stuff. Good review Rick

As usual I absolutely love these unbiased podcasts as you have never been afraid of ANY BIG BRAND NAME and give your honest opinions of them. Thank you Buddy. I’m not running out just yet to try them out but I promise you I will. Cheers Rick.

I got fitted with this driver yesterday in the carbon after hitting 7 or 8 total. I loved it. No shot was more than 20 yards off-center and good distance for me. I never got above 2900 spin. Coincidentally, I also fit best into the same 3 wood and hybrid. Price point was pretty good for a new model too. Less than $1000 USD for all 3 clubs.

My father uses Wilson, and I think he will love this new line-up!! Thanks Rick for the great content !!

Considering your driver let you down at Bay hill, that Wilson should be in the bag.

Excellent review as usual. These Wilson drivers look good. I finally retired my trusty Cobra F9, (which I bought new because of your review) and got a demo model Titleist TSi2 for about 1/2 the new price. I should compare that to the Wilson drivers now since I'm playing the Wilson D7 Forged irons. Could be a great match. Cheers!

I was walking down a PGA store and was pleasantly surprised when I saw these new Wilson models, I am more than happy to find Rick give such a positive review on them, these might be my new drivers\woods !

man i’ve owned my cleveland launcher 400 for a number of years now. i absolutely love it, i’ve tried many different styles but im so used to my drivers loft it’s impossible for me to switch. i can hit a comfortable 225-250 with it on a good day, the occasional 250+ glad to know i need to be keeping my eyes open. thanks rick!

I attended a seminar given by regional sales representative of Wilson sports at Ferris State University for PGA golf management and they told us that the Dynapwr was going to be their new series. I can’t disclose anything more specific due to privacy purposes but man they weren’t kidding! Really nice! In my opinion Wilson/Wilson Staff has always made really good drivers and fairway woods. I’m still gaming my D-200 3 and 5 woods from 2015. Love ‘em.

Love my new Dynapower driver. So easy to hit. Got it fit. Shaft and nameplate loft made a big difference. And, I gained 30 yards.

Great Review! If this had been last year, I would have given this a solid look vs the ST Max LS I ended up picking up. But I'm a Wilson slappy, with the last name, how can I not be. I already play the D9 irons and the Triad ball. I'm in the market for a new 7 wood and the Dynapower is hands down the best one I hit so far(and $100 cheaper)! Don't sleep on this brand, great bang for the buck!

Here in the states not very often a group push’s. But last year 95% of the time I was out on the course there was always that one guy or group that would not let people play through. So most of are rounds took 5/6 hours to play. Was very frustrating. Even weekdays

I would like to add that in Quebec, it is currently retailed at $599 CA (carbon model) and $549 CA. Competes with Taylormade/Callaway, but still pretty expensive imo. Less than the "premium" brands, but still expensive imo. Although, I will say it's nice to see a premium shaft on both models. Did not try them yet.

I've been using the Wilson hybrids for 2 years and they're the best clubs in my bag, so I'll definitely be trying this driver out

Huge Wilson fan. Drivers look so good. Simple and no unnecessary bells and whistles. And they do go. Saw to testers hitting carbon over 350 yards

I actually spotted this driver at my local golf store last week. Its a pretty nice bit of gear. I remember my old wilson deep reds actuslly being a decent set of clubs for me as a novice.

Awesome Rick! Would be great to see you test a few more of the "smaller/budget" brands.

Yes!! Been waiting so long for your review on this driver(s). Absolutely great video MR Shiels!!

The titanium version looks better to me and reminds me of the Cleveland HB Turbo driver you reviewed 2 or 3 years ago which was also priced lower than the other OEM’s but performed just as good. Thanks for the review.👍🏻

As much as I love the top-brands being reviewed I absolutely loved this review. It makes me want to go test one even though I have the G425 in the bag!

Wilson has great clubs. Their irons are pretty solid too. I need a new driver. I would love to replace my F9 with another F9 but they're hard to find in good condition. Mine has some issues in the hostel causing it to grind out the golf shaft when I adjust the loft angle. And the crown and face are so beat, I honestly bought it in not the greatest condition. The hostel problem has always been there. I know I haven't been getting yhe performance out of the club i should be because of these issues. Have been considering the new Aerojet LS since I absolutely love Cobra but I might be considering one of these now.

I started with Wilson as a child, with a baseball glove; later playing tennis with Wilson racquets. So, Wilson golf clubs were a natural for me: quality & good prices.

The review I've wanted to see. These drivers ( especially the Carbon model ) have been getting some seriously good prise. I'm going to get fitted for the Carbon model I think. Great review RS

Love that you actually gave an unbiased opinion and didn't sugar coat or go against the product. I have a wilson older model and love it and want to try the Titanium now. Tnanks

Looking forward to demo’ing this beast. Great video!

Switching from a Stealth which was fitted for me to the Wilson Carbon. What an easy to hit Driver with super length.This Driver is a no brainer!

This is great , everybody that has reviewed this driver has came away the same way , surprised and actually like enough to play it and put it in the 14 CLUB line up which is huge deal for wilson in my opinion. I deff think it's a fitting driver , like ppl will want to hit it in both versions and comare them to the bigger brands models and then maybe they do not see much difference and choose it based on price & saved money lol. Only way I would buy it but I would absolutely test it against other and be open to picking it outright if it was close in testing.

I always love your review videos. You're always fair and honest. Even though the carbon driver went a bit further, I like the titanium more because of the consistency.

Chuffed to see Wilson getting some love. Hope you put it in your bag Rick

Love to see you test the Tour Edge products. They work well for me as an 18 handicap..

thanks Rick, i subed to the review channel. appreciate you and your hard work.

Been waiting for this review for a while! Great job Rick. I’ve tried both drivers and been using the carbon since September. Canada though so no winter golf. It’s great…for the price best driver of 2023 hands down

What a pity you didn't have one of these in your bag at Bay Hill!

Got fitted for the carbon model and it has not disappointed. Hitting it straight and further than my Epic. Wilson is doing amazing things. Cant wait to see if they have a new CB Iron coming.

Wilson has been one of my favourites for a long time. Driver of course wasn’t a strong point for them… until now. But, I can’t see myself buying one in the first year of production of this model. Hopefully, they stick with it and improve upon these 2. Then in ‘24 or ‘25 I may be shopping for my 1st Wilson driver.

Love to see the mizuno reviews also as they are well priced.

Great drivers and much better value than the frankly crazy price for the new Callaway or Taylor Made. I have just bought new D9 irons with custom fit etc. Half the price of the big name and brilliant irons. Wilson have always made great clubs!

The same mindset behind the pricing of Glock handguns. People think inexpensive means bad. My $200 Tommy Armor driver performs right up there with the Callaway Epic, as used by my golf coach.

The Dynapower Titanium is $549CDN and the Carbon is going for $599CDN in my market , which is $250 and and $200 less than the Paradigm or the G430. I was able to pick up a 9/10 used G425 for $460 which to me, is just as good as anything I have hit this year.

Everyone who loved the performance of G425, but hated the sound, is upgrading to G430. The market is awash with 425 drivers and this means they aren’t holding their value as much as ping drivers often do (like the G400 Max did)

I'd be curious to see a poll of how many people buy the season's brand new clubs at full MSRP. I've been playing for 13 years and have never once bought a brand new in plastic club. I've always been of the camp to wait or buy last years model which hasn't changed that much for much less (often 40-50% off) with the same or similar results. Of course, there will always be those people who need the latest and greatest :/

I tried out the wilson along with i think a dozen other drivers a few days ago. I really loved it, more so than the stealth 2 plus actually. I ended up with a Callaway epic flash star but the dynapower was my runner up. The callaway is far more expensive than the Wilson but both are great beginner clubs imo.

Loved that you reviewed this driver. Will you be reviewing any of the new Tour Edge line? I think you should, especially with how popular they are becoming on the Champions Tour. Maybe the E723 driver and fairway, and the Pro 723 irons?!
