Say hello to Wilson’s take on player’s distance irons – the all-new D7 Forged.
The popularity of compact, player’s designs that boast modern technology to boost distance and forgiveness has soared over the last few years and now Wilson is on the action.
• The new Wilson Staff Model Wedges are simply stunning
The brand is building on the success of its D7 range by launching an iron that combines distance, looks and feel so that it appeals to so many different types of golfers.
Proven Power Hole Technology has been taken to the next level by incorporating a Urethane filled Power Chamber inside the head and lower on the clubface that flexes on impact.
This combination allows the inner face to flex while reducing vibration for a more solid and consistent feel at impact.
Along with improved sound, the D7 Forged irons feature a new club head design – including a more compact head and ideal toe height – with a thinner topline and minimal offset to deliver ultimate distance, feel and the sleek looks of a true player’s iron.
The thin club face is forged from soft 8620 Carbon steel and features a wider-sole supported by the Power Chambers. The thicker sole allows for more aggressive Power Holes and a lower Centre of Gravity to drive high ball speeds with a higher launch and spin.

“Combining the distance technologies from the original D7 line with the aesthetics of Wilson Staff’s players irons, the D7 Forged irons provide an ideal blend of maximum distance and ultimate feel for golfers looking for effortless distance and ultimate control,” said Jon Pergande, Manager of Golf Club Innovation.
He added: “Through the optimized sole and face thickness, urethane-filled Power Chamber and centered power holes, the new D7 Forged provides golfers world-class ball speeds, shot-making ability and a soft forged feel across the entire club face.”
The brand with more Major victories with its irons than any other (62), enjoyed another successful season in 2019, with multiple wins on both the PGA and European Tours, including the US Open at Pebble Beach using a mix of its Staff Model Blades and the award-winning FG Tour V6 and C300 irons.
“As a brand, Wilson has the pedigree of producing some of golf’s best irons over the years and I believe we’ve continued the trend with the D7 Forged,” added Jon.
We’re looking forward to taking the D7 Forged out onto the course to see just how well they stack up against some of the other player’s distance irons on the market. We’re pretty confident it will deliver everything Wilson is promising.
