Technology has come along way in the golfing world, and Wilson has taken full advantage of it. The Wilson D7 forged irons are one of the best player distance irons on the market. The power holes on the sole of club are filled with Urethane, which creates the forgiveness, and allows for the sweet spot to be bigger. In essence, Wilson spent a lot of time repositioning these power holes to give golfers an increase in ball speed. One of the biggest improves on the D7 forged irons is the power chamber. Seen below. This is the black outline on the club. It is also filled with Urethane. What they have done by filling this cavity camber with urethane has allowed for better feel and sound at impact.
Appearance
The color combination of silver and black with the design makes for the club to catch your eye. The D7 Forged irons are what I would call business casual. They are straight to the point without trying to be flashy. I have always been big on a clubs appeal. It is what makes you gravitate towards the club when it is on the shelf. If the club doesn’t fit my eye then I will hate hitting it. Wilson has also perfected the balance between a blade and a cavity back that you want in a club.
Results
I will be honest. I have never played Wilson Irons. Even when I was testing clubs Wilson didn’t even pop up on my radar. That being said, it is no wonder Gary Woodland signed with them. The D7 Forged irons are the most forgiving clubs I have played. Striking the ball on the heel or the toe, it was amazing the amount of forgiveness these irons had. The power holes on the clubs are perfectly positioned, and the added cavity back sounds like you hit the sweet spot each time. They are lightweight, and the added distance gain off the tee is what every golfer wants. Comparing distance from the Wilson D7 forged irons and my Mizuno JPX-850 forged irons. I was carrying the Wilson 7-iron on average 181.1 yards. The Mizuno JPX irons were carrying on average 170 yards. Below is the average data I collected.
