Why We Like It
- Designed for players with moderate to average swing speeds seeking a higher launch with more carry.
- As with the standard Elyte model, a high-strength stainless-steel cupface—in which the sole wraps around part of the sole and topline—provides Formula-1 speed off the face.
- The irons feature the RCH S2H2 short hosel that Callaway’s late R&D chief Dick Helmstetter was famous for designing. The shorter hosel saves six grams that were used to lower the center of gravity to achieve higher launch.
- The sole design—inspired by tour-player input—is efficient to the point that it can add one mile per hour ball speed, according to Callaway.
- The design of the club’s frame enables more use of microspheres to produce the sound of a one-piece iron in a two-piece club.
- Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 30 degrees, PW: 43 degrees

I had great control of distance with each club as well as ball flight. Beautiful high and soft ball flight, especially with the lower irons. The ball held its line throughout and felt very true in the air.
Sean

A true game-improvement iron. I can move the ball with a nice launch, too. It's really good to hit, but I can't get over that if the sun hits it, it's too shiny.
Molly
37, Handicap 0
4 years testing
It's really easy to look at. The topline is small enough that it's not distracting. The 5-iron is a great option in place of a hybrid. Launches high with great stopping power. Definitely a draw-bias overall but swings that would produce straight shots stay true. Designed for a smooth swing. You don't have to work hard to get a lot out of it.
Shane
36, Handicap 15
5 years testing
Caught a lot of turf. Some shots exploded and some shots trickled. Seemed to penalize me for not hitting it in the absolute center.
Daniel
33, Handicap 12
5 years testing
Flies too high for someone like me. But if high launch is what you need, this will do it. Lot of heft to the club through the ground. Very soft and cushiony at impact. Good, useful sensation at impact.

Alejandra

I don't like how shiny the face is. Feels like you have to do all the work, but the club is still forgiving. Very high launch, but definitely left-biased. Easy to compress the ball.
Alan
30, Handicap 1

The chrome finish is like a nice shiny car. The grooves almost appear white, which helps me see if the face is square. You're used to seeing a big, clunky head on game-improvement clubs, but not these. These look like normal irons. It's tough to get the ball down.
Ryan
49, Handicap 10
7 years testing
These are sharp-looking golf clubs that would dress up any golf bag. Especially attractive to me was how high the ball launched and how quickly it climbed. Seeing it stay on the line and land softly with the higher shots was rewarding—almost as much as seeing the run out of lower-flighted shots. These are really enjoyable clubs.
Jin
30, Handicap 13

As a high-launch, high-spin player, this is not getting the distance I need. Ball rises slowly. Sound is more of a thud. Quiet in the hands, too. For looks, I like that the topline is thin.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
Looks more and plays more like a players iron with benefits of high launch, which I love. This club is able to get the ball up in the air immediately, which isn't always the easiest for me. It's a multi-purpose club that can help, especially if you need to get the ball up.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
Plays as advertised. Definitely a higher launch. It's not a floaty high shot, it's piercing and keeps going. You don't have to help this club do the work. The smaller head is always appealing to better players but average golfers won't lose confidence because it's so reliable.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5

Classic size and perfect amount of offset. The ball did go straight but seemed to lack distance. The sound was more of a mis-hit loud than a powerful loud. You got the mis-hit "clank" as well on some good strikes.
David

Finally, a club that I really like to hit. Mis-hits flew off the face. Great distance control from the wedges all the way to the 5-iron.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

This is great for a player that needs something to get the ball high and stop quickly. This thing is a launch factory. It's one of the shorter clubs I tested, but you gain control from being able to approach the green from a higher descent.
Scott

These things go all the way to the moon—high flight with lots of power. Makes you feel like a young Tiger with that awesome lunar trajectory.
Jason
48, Handicap 0

A little harder feel off the face, but that's what I would expect from a high-launching club. The big thing they do well is that they look like players irons; not a lot going on with the design. Very easy to hit off the turf. The dispersion is tight. You're not getting a lot of curvature in either direction.
Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
It's not too bulky and sets up nicely to the eye. Sound is on the lower end, but it's definitely on the firmer side. If you miss it with this, you're going to know you missed it through your hands.
Sándor J.
36, Handicap 9
2 years testing
Very well designed. It doesn't give you the sense that you have a game-improvement iron in your hands. And it will do what you want it to do—draw, fade. It's easy to hit and very smooth off the face. I didn't feel any vibration; it just felt good.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
It definitely launches higher with more spin. If you're really focused on hitting it straight and high, it's the perfect club for that. If you're trying to get a little more distance, it's not for that. It's a real pretty-looking club. Pretty classy design. It fits the name.
Gary
37, Handicap 13
10+ years testing
Definitely lives up to the HL name. Not forced higher launches; it did it on its own. Kind of a knocking impact feel. More of a hit than a capture and spring. Badging gives it a luxurious, upscale feel. Slight oversize heel-to-toe dimension gives you a sense of confidence and forgiveness. Dispersion was consistently narrow. Not the longest, but consistent.
Megan
39, Handicap 0

Really easy to hit. It felt like I was doing nothing and getting great results. Contact is like breaking an egg—super easy. Minimal effort, a lot of gain. The clubhead felt very light throughout the swing.
Robert
28, Handicap 2

Good feedback as the club moved through the turf, but you could tell if you mis-hit it. I love the design. You can see the tech and it inspires confidence.
RC
63, Handicap 7

Good performance overall. Seems like it's got plenty of weight on the bottom to get the ball up in the air. It felt pretty forgiving and I didn't have many mis-hits. Makes sense that's it a high-launch club.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

I felt that you needed some speed to get the most out of it. There was no cushion or feeling that it was simple to hit.
Skylar

It's got a nice, pleasing whoosh sound that isn't loud. It feels pretty soft. Mis-hits felt like if you hit the baseball off the end of the bat and it reverbed—even in hot weather.
Ryan
46, Handicap 14

Clean and compact. Doesn't look fancy, but definitely got the ball up in the air. It struggled getting through the turf, but even the mis-hits went high in the air.
Matt

Truth in advertising; truly a high-launch set. Produced repeatable, high, straight shots through the bag. I particularly liked the performance of the 7-iron. That tends to be a club I miss more greens with than I hit. I'm hitting green-holding shots with this.
Alex
40, Handicap 11
6 years testing
So high! Also added distance. When you hit the center, it feels so explosive, but also like there was no ball there. Weird to see the ball so high for me, even with a long iron. Unsure of this patterned design on the back, but I can't see that while I'm hitting nukes, so whatever.
Wei
55, Handicap 13
9 years testing
At address, the club sets up beautifully with the chrome providing a classy look. The sound and feel are energetic and the performance was very rewarding for my good swings. The caveat was that the leading edge had a tendency to dig in, and with that turf action, I was losing significant clubhead speed. That happened all the way into the short irons.
Anand
43, Handicap 6

Just by looking at it, it feels like a players iron. Everything about it, the sole design, the head design, only a little offset, I like the shiny chrome. The performance is amazing. Every shot is pure. These clubs are supposed to launch the ball and it does with the 5-iron. High launch, low spin.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
Normally, I can't tell the difference in high-launch clubs, but I put my usual swing on this one and it does launch higher. It's easy to get it in the air. Slicers will love the offset. It wants to move the ball right to left. You can feel solid strikes. You know it without looking. The topline is really nice. The offset doesn't look great, but it has a big purpose. It doesn't look as clumsy as other clubs.

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.
