Wilson D9 Forged irons are here to provide a unique combination of performance and feel. The D9 irons are Wilson’s longest distance iron yet, but now they are available in a forged construction for a soft feel, a more player’s iron shape, and pinpoint accuracy. TGW takes you inside the technology and latest design.
Wilson D9 Forged Irons Review by TGW
Technology
Wilson makes the D9 Forged irons more powerful with their signature Power Hole design. A new, asymmetrical Power Hole arrangement is optimized for forged heads and is biased towards the heel of the club. This opens up the club face, increasing contact time with the golf ball for maximum speed and distance, all in a sleek player’s profile.
A lower center of gravity provides a higher launch, increased peak trajectory, and a steeper descent angle. That means more carry distance and greater stopping power on the green.
Forged from premium carbon material, these irons are more compact with a soft feel. Premium carbon forged heads combine an exceptional feel with a thin topline and minimal offset for player’s profile irons that look as good as they play.
Performance
To test the performance of the Wilson D9 Forged irons, we gave them to Rick Hatfield to put them through the paces in the TGW Wichita Pure Performance Center. Rick is TGW’s Master Fitter and resident product expert. Our Performance Center is equipped with Foresight Sports launch monitors to deliver the most accurate results.
For our test, Rick used the 7-rion which has a loft of 30.5°. His average swing speed during testing was 83.6 mph. Rick’s average ball speed was great at 114.5 mph with an appropriate average launch angle of 18.2°. With an average spin rate of 5,404 rpm, a medium trajectory, and an ideal descent angle of 45°, these irons are ideal for holding a green from a 7-iron distance. Rick’s average carry distance with the D9 Forged 7-iron was 166 yards.
Who It’s For
The Wilson D9 Forged irons are designed for golfers who want added distance but put a premium on forged feel and a compact shape. These irons feature a player’s iron profile with plenty of distance performance for golfers who need it.
Appearance
Wilson’s D9 Forged irons feature a more compact shape like that of a player’s iron. They feature a thinner topline and minimal offset for a look that fits the eye of the more skilled golfer while still providing all the distance benefits of the standard D9 irons.
Feel & Sound
The Wilson D9 Forged irons feature a softer feel than their standard D9 counterpart thanks to their forged construction. They sound powerful at impact as well, giving you confidence that will hit the ball farther.
