Why We Like It
- The new face on the 4- through 8-irons is 30 percent thinner at its thinnest point or a slim 1.2 millimeters on the low heel and high toe for faster ball speeds.
- The cupface—in which part of the face wraps around the topline and sole—enhances ball speed throughout the hitting area.
- Tungsten weighting is positioned low in the 4- through 7-irons to mitigate the loss of ball speed on off-center strikes and to help golfers launch the ball higher.
- A variable-thickness sole promotes face flex, especially on shots struck low where most iron impacts occur.
- Lofts on the 7-iron through pitching wedge have been adjusted to provide more consistent gapping and upright lie angles to foster slightly more draw bias.
- As more consumers are drawn to set wedges for their gap and, sometimes, sand wedges, the JPX925 Hot Metal offers those options.
- Top 5 in Performance, all handicaps.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 28 degrees; PW: 42 degrees

It's like a decathlete. It does everything well. The look is appealing, like a players iron working undercover. It was consistent and very good on mis-hits. The face felt surprisingly soft, but I still got good distance out of it.

Paul
63, Handicap 4

It has offset and a wider sole that catches your eye. I like that it sits flat, but it dug in the turf a tad more than I would have liked. A quiet impact with a moderate-to-high launch. Distance was average, nothing exceptional.

Alejandra

The face is fast. That's what adds distance here. One of those high-risk, high-reward scenarios, meaning that these are not forgiving but a well-struck shot is rewarded in distance, height and a powerful feeling at impact. If you're a ball-striker, these clubs are for you.

Matt
52, Handicap 11
3 years testing
It's loud and firm with a noticeable retort at impact. A louder clap. It gave me a very tight dispersion but distance was below average.

Anand
42, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
At address, the clubs look like they don't have much going on because the mass is hidden pretty well. Love the sole design, kinda looks like there's a little grind on it. The topline is fairly thin. It looks like it doesn't belong in this category. It feels like it has a massive sweet spot. You can feel the mass push the ball up in the air and then the ball stays up and keeps going up.

I get a lot of spin and high launch from these, but I still get the distance numbers I'm looking for. It also gave me a tight left-right dispersion with a slight right bias. Sounds like a snare drum with no echo at impact.

Jason
48, Handicap 0

It looks like there's a lot going on with the back of the club, but I really liked how the face sat flush on the ground. The face was a little firm for my liking, and I struggled to get the ball in the air.

Alex
40, Handicap 11

I felt like I had lots of control. A low, but rising, penetrating flight. When you hit it well, you didn't even feel the contact. And I love the compact look of the head.

BK
41, Handicap 1

If my data was accurate, my mis-hits were incredibly far and straight. Are these things conforming? Joke. Everything you want in a game-improvement iron. This is the club you want rolling out of the car, straight to the first tee, no range time.

Megan
39, Handicap 0

It wasn't as forgiving as some other game-improvement irons. The ball flight was a little lower.

Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
The smaller head is attractive. What stood out for me is the workability with this head, even though it's game improvement. That's its best feature. One thing I don't like is seeing the cavity in the back. The sound off the face is like a little pop. It's not necessarily offensive, but not a wow, either.

Ryan
49, Handicap 10
7 years testing
The color scheme is nice with the black accents muting the shininess of the club. The ball flight is of the sky-scraping variety. The ball really launches high and fast and can just keep going. My mis-hits were not severely punished, and there was satisfying distance. It had a bit of a firm feel at impact with a slightly more noticeable sound than I would ideally like.

Wei
54, Handicap 13
9 years testing
The proportions of the face with the sole seem to be a chef's kiss. The feel is very soft and pleasant with the sound to match. The performance was excellent on good swings. Poor swings were punished to some degree but not so severely that you couldn't find your ball.

Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
Looking down on it, it looks really inviting. I like the smooth, rounder edges, which gives me a comfortable feel. It just looks hittable off the turf. It has definitely got some pop to it, but yet it's got a nice cushy feel even on off-center hits. Everything about it to me was really consistent. It takes the thinking out of the swing.

RC
63, Handicap 7
2 years testing
Between the look, feel and performance, it all came together with this one. When I set up behind the ball, it looks very planted. And I got a lot out of it performance-wise. It was consistent and forgiving. You can always get good distance out of it with a good-sized sweet spot.

Thomas
60, Handicap 7

One word—forgiveness. I hit a super high ball and it definitely had the right combination accuracy, feel and distance.

Jamie
51, Handicap 5

I liked that you could go after the ball and it jumps off the ground. It gave me outstanding distance and was very forgiving. I had no fear that mis-hits would be punished.

Scott
37, Handicap 14

I'm buying these instead of food and shelter. I got effortless power and flight. The long irons flew high and just landed softly. Just like a rocket ship taking off the face—and dead straight.

Robert
28, Handicap 2

The finish is appealing to look at and I found it easy to cradle the ball. You also can hear it coming off the face and it's a soft feel, even when striking the ball incorrectly.

Gary
37, Handicap 13

The curves and shaping are nicely radiused, not intimidating to hit. And when you made a good pass on the ball, the shot was going on a straight path with plenty of speed and distance. The sweet-spot performance was so strong.

Daniel
33, Handicap 12

Very electric off the clubface. The ball was full of energy through the flight. It also was easy to turn the club over. Crisp and clean and springy and receptive at impact.

Skylar
26, Handicap 7
2 years testing
I liked the squared look without it being clunky at the top. It's also got a nice shape on the outer side of the club. The sound is pretty muffled, and you can work the ball really easily with it. It also was super consistent. Even on a mis-hit, it pretty much went the same distance—just off line.

John
55, Handicap 11
1 year testing
It was a little busy-looking for my liking, but I do like the single-color design. It performed well and the ball flight was super consistent. I had really good control with the shorter irons on full swings and half swings but not as much with the longer irons.

Molly
37, Handicap 0

I love the angular topline with a bit of matte finish on top. It sets up so you're aimed correctly and the offset is appropriate. For a low-launch, low-spin player, you want these. They launch higher, spin more and go farther. Truly hot off the face.

Alan
30, Handicap 1
1 year testing
It's got the game-improvement look, a larger head with a nice matte finish. It performed unbelievably. It's rare that you could find something as forgiving as this, and you can take the flight down and move it around. The chunks and toes still went a good way. It's a unicorn.

David
66, Handicap 8

I was able to move it quite a bit, especially drawing it and the ball held its line nicely.

Shane
36, Handicap 15

Good shots were electric, booming off the face. It's like a driver in the face of an iron. I did catch some turf and resistance, however. A bigger footprint for sure. Still, you get towering shots.

Ryan
46, Handicap 14
2 years testing
A little bigger than I'd like, kind of a chunky topline with a slightly longer face. The good ones had a nice high ball flight, so the performance is there, but not super easy to hit. The clubhead felt a little heavy, which I like.

Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
The ball jumps off the clubface and these are very forgiving, even on off-center hits. It's in that sweet spot of performance and distance. It has a little firmer feeling, so you expect the ball to go a little farther—and it does. A ball that goes up in the air with a little speed never hurts.

Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
The head is massive. The way it triangles out to the back—it almost had a hybrid-like look to it. It didn't really disturb me, though. For someone standing over the ball who wants to feel like they have forgiveness behind it, it's the perfect club for them. Hitting it off the toe almost felt like the same as hitting it off the center of the face. I couldn't believe how far I was hitting the 5-iron.

Sándor J.

The Apex Ai300 replaces the Apex DCB and targets golfers who are early in their journey or are looking to step up from the super-game-improvement category.
The forged 455-steel face was designed with the help of AI analysis of everyday player impact data in which the topology behind the face is different for each iron—thinner and thicker in areas where it needs to be to create maximum consistency.
The tungsten core has urethane with “microspheres”—tiny air bubbles encased in glass—that lowers the center of gravity to help with launch despite slightly strong lofts.

The most common miss by amateur players is on the toe. To combat that in the Dynapower 4- through 8-irons, Wilson uses a two-piece construction in which the face is welded on around the topline and the upper part of the toe area. This provides a larger area of the face that is unsupported, which leads to more ball speed.
The face is made from 17-4 stainless steel, like the body of the iron, but is created from a forged/stamped process. This manufacturing approach allows for a stronger and thinner face and maintains high strength and durability.
The iron also has changing thicknesses on 27 points on the face, ranging from 2 millimeters to 2.5 millimeters for zippy ball speeds.
