Wilson Golf is quietly experiencing a resurgence with its latest Dynapwr Woods line and the new Staff Model irons line released this week. But the sports giant is not done showing that it can compete with the heavyweights of the golf world.
The company is adding a fourth model to its Dynapwr range with the new Max+ driver, its highest MOI driver ever, exceeding 10K g/cm2 MOI plateau. Wilson achieved this without making their Max+ head heavier, a typical strategy club makers use to increase MOI.
“The new Dynapwr Max+ driver takes all the groundbreaking technology from the Dynapwr metalwood family and takes it one step further,” said Jared Guttmann, Wilson’s Manager of Advanced Golf R&D, in a press release. “We are committed to developing the most advanced equipment for the widest range of golfers – from tour staff and top amateurs to mid- to single-handicap golfers – and we are confident that Max+ will help all players maximize forgiveness and stability to gain a significant advantage off the tee.”
Keep reading below to learn more about the Wilson Dynapwr Max+ driver, including my thoughts on the release.
What’s actually new with the Wilson Dynapwr Max+ — and why should you care?
With the new Max+ driver, Wilson has redesigned the PKR-360 (Peak Kinetic Response) face assembly of the 2025 Dynapwr drivers to remove 5 grams of weight from the driver’s face and move it to the rear. This helps push the MOI higher than any other driver Wilson has made.
The crown height was also lowered to push the perimeter mass further from the center of gravity, while lowering it to control spin. Wilson also features a new, rounder face profile to control side spin on mishits.
These changes helped the driver reach the 10K MOI threshold without having to add any mass to the clubhead, something Wilson believes is a key differentiator.
“Most, if not all, 10K heads reach this threshold in part by increasing the mass of the clubhead, because more mass equals more MOI,” Guttmann said. “The downside to this approach is that you slow down clubhead speed and therefore ball speed. Our approach to designing the Max+ was incredibly efficient and we were able to maintain high clubhead speeds and high ball speeds while also achieving 10K of forgiveness.”
Finally, Wilson used an advanced topology optimization to fine-tune the driver’s sound with the most effective shaping and internal ribbing.
The new Max+ also added an option for players who want adjustable weighting in a high MOI driver. Like the Dynapwr Max, the Max+ has a flip-over weight at the back with the ability to move the heavy side of the toe (referred to as neutral) to the heel (for traction).

What it is: A driver with a high MOI, maximum forgiveness and a modern player profile. A flip-up weight on the back offers two settings between neutral and pull, as well as a six-way adjustable hose.
Available cages: 9.0˚, 10.5˚(RH or LH), 12˚
Who is it for: Players looking for high forgiveness from a driver with a traditional profile across multiple speed spectrums without worrying about high spin.
My opinion: a potential unicorn driver
Manufacturers are starting to figure out how to decouple forgiveness and speed, and Wilson proves it can be done in that big boy game too.
I don’t know whether to be more impressed with this driver, or the fact that it’s $150 cheaper than many of its new competitors and $50 cheaper than some of Wilson’s other drivers.
The Dynapwr Max+ is one of the drivers we see that can be very forgiving, yet can’t spin, thanks to advances in center of gravity placement. Previously that was reserved for drivers costing over $600, but Wilson has actually done it for less than some of their other drivers.
I enjoyed testing it and was pleasantly surprised. Normally I don’t agree with high MOI drivers, both from an appearance and spin perspective. But I was surprised when my first swing was a frozen rope that could carry 900 feet and spin 8,000 feet.
It’s impressive that Wilson was able to place the CG where they did, because the Max+ hardly looks overly large in my opinion. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a classic pear shape that I’m used to playing, but it certainly looks a lot more traditional than drivers in this class.
Overall, Wilson may have come up with one of those rare unicorn drivers that is both forgiving and low-spin. The best part is that it is a lot cheaper than all the others.
