I have a fitting scheduled in a week and I was going to use that info to buy a set of Maltby’s. But the more I’ve read in these forums, the less helpful the fitting seems like it’d be when I would want to make sure I get fit into the right shaft.

My buddy did a fitting with the Cobra tour fitter and the shafts were a huge part of his new irons. So how would I know what shaft works for Maltby heads without a fitting? Do most people just guess based off their swing profile? Or is there info I can glean from a fitting that I could use to find a good shaft for my swing regardless of head?

a good fitting should be based on bringing what you’re playing with you and the fitted club would be a better fit.

as far as where you start, you wouldn’t put a 75 year old man in TTX100 shafts and say let’s see how you hit these. There has to be a bit of assumption based on age, body condition, and feedback from the golfer about what they want from the new clubs.

I see. So if the fitter puts me into say a Taylormade P790 with a DG 105 stiff, would that translate over to how a Maltby would play because it’s more about me as a player? Or would that shaft and head combo be so different than a TS4 or TS1-IM that the fitting wouldn’t make a difference when it comes to what shaft works for me?
