JohnSmalls Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 5 hours ago, Golfspy_CG2 said: 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. If they are an improvement on the D7's in my bag they will be well worth a look in the GI space. D7's have been fantastic and constantly remind me why they are in the bag MattF, GolfSpy SAM and russtopherb 3 Quote SkyCaddie SX400 Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer G410+, Tensei CK Orange Mavrik 3w, Evenflow Riptide Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES Method Core Drone -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 In Timeout: ER2 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOG Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Irons look great. Just would have preferred the Wilson Staff logo instead of the box set Wilson logo on the woods. Considering you can get the cortex for around 100, I may wait a bit on these.

TheFonzzz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Easiest is going to be to go to a GP 25 or Winn 22 light grip? But concerned overall weight is down and best overall weight should be standard specs? Quote Two steps forwards one step back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But concerned overall weight is down and best overall weight should be standard specs? I would think that adding a little lead tape to the head would be a little bit easier than that. Plus it's an easy experiment to un-do if you don't like the results. sirchunksalot 1 Quote SkyCaddie SX400 Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer G410+, Tensei CK Orange Mavrik 3w, Evenflow Riptide Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES Method Core Drone -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 In Timeout: ER2 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFonzzz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Yes, but it is such a nice head and I don’t want to spoil the looks.

TheFonzzz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Off the shelf, it was a return, customer did not like it, brand new $360, could could not not give it up! It is a great driver, I just feel I want to get the best out of it and then my bag is set for the season! Edited March 13 by TheFonzzz Quote Two steps forwards one step back!

Thats concerning. You need 6 grams of weight at the head or go to a 25 g grip to get to D3. I would personally send it back and obtain one that is d3. Seems like QC concerns but D0 would feel way too light for me and Id be inconsistent too. You should not have to alter an expensive new driver to get it to said specs.

It is a great driver, I just feel I want to get the best out of it and then my bag is set for the season! Is it possible the previous owner modified it in any way? Definite possibility. In any case, purchasing a driver off the shelf is always a crapshoot either way. I know of the W/S drivers I've owned, I've been inconsistent with 100% of them. It simply may not be the best club for you, regardless of swing weight. 21 minutes ago, Golfspy_CG2 said: IMO, they look a lot better than standard D7, The D7 and D9 Forged were very good looking.

jonescuatro Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just got my dynapower carbon today, spent about 15 minutes at pgass getting a feel for it. Can't wait to really spend some time with this thing.

DerekBee Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Does anyone know if the fairway woods go up to 7 wood and beyond? I'm planning on trying some tweaks on the bottom end of my bag this year to make life easier; was messing around with a buddy's srixon 5 and 7 woods on a sim a month ago and loved the launch compared to my hybrids. Thinking to replace my hybrid and 3/4 wood with 5 and 7 wood, and I'm loving the Dynapower lineup for the money. Going to try out the driver, too - mine is an oldie c. 2009!
