Back in March, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, Wilson staff player Brendan Steele was spotted hitting a prototype driver that appeared to have a carbon fiber crown and red trim. We can now see that club appears to have been a prototype of a club that just hit the USGA’s Conforming Driver Head list, the Wilson Staff DYNAPWR Carbon. Also hitting the list this week is the standard Wilson Staff DYNAPWR.
If you are relatively new to golf, the DYNAPWR name likely doesn’t mean anything to you, but for golfers who are old enough, it harkens back to the days when Arnold Palmer was swinging Wilson clubs, Cadillac’s had massive tail fins and the radio waves were filled with Elvis Presley. DYNAPWR irons were extremely popular in the 1950s and ’60s and the name adorned several generations of woods as well.
