What changed from the Launch Pad 2
Both are Wilson's irons for golfers who want the most help from a set, sold as a 5-iron to gap wedge set, right- or left-handed. The Launch Pad 2 has a 30° 7-iron and 0.14 inches of offset, with a sole shaped to keep the head out of the grass and its weight set low for height. Wilson calls the DYNAPWR Max its longest and most forgiving iron yet: a cup face, an extra-wide sole and its largest head shape.
Wilson no longer sells the Launch Pad 2, and used it costs a fraction of a new DYNAPWR Max set. Choose it for a high-launching, chunk-resistant set on a small budget; choose the DYNAPWR Max for Wilson's newer face and widest sole.

How the 4.5 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what Wilson publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head class | 4 | Super game improvement: the biggest, most forgiving iron head a maker sells. |
| Offset | +0 | Wilson doesn't publish a 7-iron offset, so offset earns no point. |
| Sole | +0.5 | Wilson calls the sole wide ("WIDE SOLE"). |
| Forgiveness score | 4.5 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is. Wilson does not publish a 7-iron offset or a 7-iron loft.
