I went for a fitting the other day. I currently play the MP-64s, with the 7-iron having 34deg loft and the 6-iron 30deg.
The irons I tested have a 7-iron with 30deg loft.
Surely when checking to see if I've gained any distance I should be comparing my current 6-iron against the new 7-iron as they have the same 30deg loft?
The fitter said this wasn't the case due to the CG being moved back in new clubs etc.
I hit the new 7-iron approx the same distance as my current 6-iron. Dispersion was better and mishits with the new iron certainly went further but if I'm primarily looking to gain distance I don't think I've achieved this.
Any thoughts from those more experienced with the fitting process would be welcome.
