Apparently I haven't made friends in the right places yet.  Did you order stock length/swing weight?  Were you able to custom order the interchangeable weight in the back?

Ha! I ordered standard length and spot on D3. Wilson's custom department is always very good. I didn't look into the weight I figured it's more for swing-weighting than anything else.

[JohnSmalls]

Interesting shaft lineup through Wilson custom.  No upcharge options are:  Ventus (non-velo), Hzrdus Smoke RDX Red and Black,  Evenflow Riptide, Evenflow 55 and Evenflow DP.  Upcharge shafts are Ventus TR Blue, Red, Black and Graphite Design AD-DI,  AD-TP.  No options currently to order a different swingweight or to change the weights in the back of the driver.  However, Harry told me that it would be possible; so potentially coming after the official sales release.

Another one here interested in testing out the new irons ... I mean, c'mon, the name alone is good enough to make me want 'em!

(Yes I'm over 60 and love 50s cars that had cool features like "electra glide hydro dynamic power flow" )

I want to get fitted for the driver so bad I can barely stand it

Honestly neither of the drivers excite me but that's probably more due to past experience and never getting along with any W/S drivers.

The irons though... heck yeah. 

[MattF]

I just won a Dynapower head on Twitter. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.

I have never ever hit one.  Part of the reason why I want to so badly now.

Get it in lefty .   Seriously that is awesome, congrats!  They have the shaft your TSi has in it.  Head to head shoot out could be fun!

I was actually thinking about a Ventis Blue 6 or trying out the new HAZRDUS Silver.

That would be a great test too.  I hadn't heard of the Silver before your post.  How does it compare to Hzrdus Black?

It's for a medium tempo, trajectory and spin as apposed to fast tempo, low trajectory and spin.

[GolfSpy_BNG]

I saw this today in person and it looks amazing. Didn’t get a chance to hit it as we were pushed for time but definitely got wide eyed by its appearance.

Did a little more digging yesterday, seems like it could be a descendant of the Evenflow Riptide 

[JohnSmalls]

Wilson slowly making the rounds with Mr. Shiels posting a review.

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

Had a shootout at the heated driving range yesterday - custom fit TSR3 with Graphite Design Tour AD shaft vs stock Dynapower Carbon. I'd give the edge to the TSR, but not by much. Custom-fit gave me a bit more consistency, but it was a hell of a lot closer than I thought it would be, Bottom line - I'd take either one into battle and be fine with it.  Wilson has a seriously good driver on its hands...

And not for nuthin' - don't sleep on the Dynapower 3-wood. That beat out the TSR2+ for the traveling team. It's the first fairway wood I've had since the persimmon days that I haven't hated. 

 

[03trdblack]

Does anyone have an up close picture of the adapter that Wilson is using for their adjustable hosel?  I'm wondering if any other manufacturer use something similar or not or did they come up with something completely proprietary to them?  

I use All-Fit adapters and I'm positive they aren't going to make a Wilson adapter collar but am hoping another company's collar might work so I can use all my shafts w/ this head.

[cksurfdude]

..and I'm awaiting delivery of a DynaPower 7i demo... 

Will be stacked up vs...
0211 DC (current)
Apex DCB 
New Level gi22
Tour Edge E723
Cobra Forged Tec-X (already tried and stupidly returned)
Paradym/X and ___? (upcoming demo day; outdoors)

..and yes after that all a proper iron fitting with the "winner" of all these demos in hand!

I saw one fairly recently and I can't remember where it was now.  I know this extremely helpful.  IIRC it is an updated design from their last adjustable adapter with the same settings/adjustments but it's slimmed down.  I'll update this if I can find the picture that I saw.  

Update (below): This wasn't quite the photo that I remember but here's a digital rendering of the new adapter.  Hope this helps.

 

[JohnSmalls]

Just saw a seller on the world's most famous flea market with new or gently used titanium and carbon model drivers for around $350.  For those on the fence.  Try searching Dynapwr and you'll find them.

I swear by my Cortex driver but these are pretty exciting. I think the only thing that truly makes an impact is seeing tour players with it in the bag. 

 

Have any started gaming it on tour?

Kisner had it in the bag for a week or two before it released, but has not the last couple of tournaments. But I think he currently has the 3 wood in the bag.  I beleive there are a few players overseas playing it but haven't confirmed that.

I'm also after an adapter for the head that I have. From what I can see, it's different than the adapter for their other drivers.

Looks like Matty and Ian had a similar experience to you John!

I enjoy their videos - especially when they back me up 

I've gamed both during some winter rounds here in NE and some southern trips. Both have been fairway finders and both are long enough which, for this 62-year-old - is really helpful. Like I said, if you took the TSR away, I"d be fine gaming this bad boy for the season, and vice versa.  May need to go through a proper fitting for the Dynapower and see what comes of it.

It is always a good thing when you have an MGS/TXG finding to back up our own .  I, for one, would certainly follow along if that fitting ever comes to life.

[JonathanJones]

The dynapower drivers look and feel great. My course has demos and the heads look awesome. 

[russtopherb]

Gabe over at Let's Play Thru has a few videos on the Dynapower line, this one just dropped with him on the course using the driver and only odd numbered Dynapower irons. I like his videos because he's a bit more of an "everyman" golfer than some other pros on YT and he just loves this whole line. Check it out.

 

[TR1PTIK]

Walked in the PGATSS today to check out some wedges I'm considering and saw they had the new Wilson lineup. I'll definitely have to go back and give it a try.

So we had the Wilson Rep out yesterday.  A couple observations on the Driver and irons

I didn't get to hit the driver, but saw a few people hitting them.   

One a gentlemen in his earl 40's  with a 92 mph swing speed.  He hit a decentl high ball 90 feet was getting 135 mph ball speed and 231 to 240 carry on most every shot, a pretty good 1.47 smash factor.    It was 10 to 12 yards longer than his M6.   He was fit into the 10.5 head with the Ventus 6s (non velacore)

One of our course employees who is a +1 and has about a 118 mph swing speed.   He was hitting the Carbon Dynapower at 9 degrees and even 8 to try and kill a bit of spin.  Let me tell you that driver sounds fantastic, right up there with any of the premier drivers in terms of sound.     I didn't get to hear all of his shot numbers, but was only hearing the ball speed occasionaly, seemed to be around 174 to 176 and carry of 288 to 305, I did hear his lngest total was 331.   He is a devoted SIM player and said he could play this driver easily.  He was hititng higher than the other gentleman, so had to be close to100 feet or over and almost straigh as a bullet, a couple with a very small draw, he worked a fade ac couple times on demand as well. 

While all the attenion was being focused on him, I grabbed a 7 iron DynaPower iron and went down a few mats to ake some swings.  It had the KBS Max Lite shaft 85 g   Just bout perfect for me.   Man there were some nice shots with that iron.   I didn't have LM numbers but it appeard to be going around 130 yards, maybe 5 to 8 yards less than the Paradym X but still a very nice looking flight and shot 

It is a much nice looking club than I expected as well.   Not syaing they are going in my bag or one of my bags, but for the price $899 I think? They certainly need to be an option those in the GI market look at.

The entire Wilson Dynapower lineup is getting some excellent reviews! Great sound and feel from the driver, and superb control and distance from the irons (but the golfer better like wide sole irons).

One comment regarding the results that your +1 handicap guy was getting: I have seen guys with 5-6 MPH less clubhead speed (112-113) getting 175+ MPH ball speeds with 1.50-1.53 smash factors and 305+ yards of carry with the 9* Dynapower Carbon driver.

Yeah, It oculd be the range balls he was hitting, and the Rep had a Mevo+ not a Trackman, so not sure if there is any variance there.  I think I did hear one 180'ish ball speed. 

All nujmbers I'm not familar with
