Oh yea, no problem with ball flight. Just a great performing iron. 

 

Any thoughts compared to ping i210s?

Not really, I only hit about 10 balls inside with the 210's about a year ago. I do know the 210's aren't distance irons. If I had to guess I'd say there is a club difference distance wise between the two with the D7's having stonger longer lofts and a hotter face.

Any updates, are people still liking these? Starting my search for new irons and these are intriguing

Sneaky forgiving, plenty long (if that's what you're looking for) and as soft as other forgings in this category.  I wasn't even looking for a deal I just liked the way they look.  I replaced the KBS C Taper Lite shafts with S300 and have found the perfect blend.  Superb set.

very forgiving on low face contact although i don't like the way the power holes look they work

I blame Taylor Made for this. TM invented the Speed Slot/Speedblades and others felt the need to follow.

I wish they did not put them in the D7 forged it looks cheap it is the ONLY thing i dislike about them

Reviving this as a long term review. After really struggling with these last season, I took them into TXG over the winter for a proper fitting and assessment. We found the stock $taper wasn’t helping me in the slightest, the lofts were wrong for my gapping and the lies were too upright for me. 
After a full shaft fitting session, we found the Accra iSteel 105 was the shaft these heads needed. Immediately saw better dispersion, better distance and way better launch angles. Then we gapped every head to dial in and saw that 1-2 degrees weak per iron helped hit my numbers. After that we went 1 flat and my start lines became spot on. Lastly, mid sized Tour velvets helped take some hands out at impact. 
The end result? A wonderful set of irons that I’m happily gaming and hitting greens. Total confidence. Ended up being an expensive set of irons after all was said and done but my iron game is on point since the fitting and rebuild.

Great choice. Hope they work out for you. I was strongly considering the d7 forged, but just don't really think they would be an upgrade over my C300 forged, so staying with them.

So....the lofts on these can be adjusted I assume.  There's a thread on here about the D9 forged heads can not be loft adjusted.  I believe these have heads are constructed the same,  not 100% sure however.

These can 100% be bent for loft and lie. My fitter said they bent with ease.

That's great to know, thanks Pareto. 

I really like the look and tech in this club.

Is there any news about a Dynapower Forged model coming out later this year?  

[dmeeksDC]

The two main differences between the D7F and D9F are the power holes in the new one are a different design and there are fewer, and they are only in the 4-7. No power holes in the D9 Forged 8-P. The D9 Forged also has a lower CG, a little easier to launch in the long irons. The short irons in the D9F are sleeker due to losing the power holes. For a lot of players both models (and the C300 Forged) will perform about the same. 
 

It is no problem to bend either head for loft adjustments. Any information claiming otherwise is false. 
 

I have not heard about a Dynapower Forged in the pipeline. Would not be a surprise but I also think the D9 Forged has done well for Wilson and I could see it sticking around like the V6 did.

Had D7’s briefly with $Taper shafts. Heads seemed solid and very forgiving. A buddy plays them well. Just not the right shaft fit for me. Didn’t have your patience to find the right combo. Moved them on. Glad you found a good fit. Eyeing the Staff CB’s currently.
