I am in the market for a good cavity back iron and I have narrowed it down to one of these. This might be a stupid question, (I'm sure Erik will let me know) but what is the difference in the two?

It would be a lazy question if both were current models with web pages at mizunousa.com. As it stands, perhaps you want to get the MP-60 because it's a current model and the MP-30 isn't.

When I was in the market for irons, I spoke with a Mizuno rep an asked the difference. Erik is correct that the MP30 is not the current iron and the MP 60 is, but there is a more significant difference. The answer given to me was that the MP 30 was made to work with wound balls and get the maximum performance out of them. They MP 60s are made with the new solid core balls in mind. They also have a lower center of gravity to help elavate ball fllight which is helpful with the modern ball.

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?

      It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.

      I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
