I have access to a Cobra fitting cart and Trackman through my course and I’m interested in trying out various shafts. Is it possible to get some iron fitting heads with the OEM adaptor? Like in the pictures in this eBay ad https://www.ebay.ca/itm/364489367896?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=qjna3pz4sec&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=z6ggc1r6TB2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
No plans to do it and here is why. All of the iron fitting heads we have ever seen and measured, because of the way the hosels are engineered, do not represent the same mass and dimensional characteristics of the product you would ultimately buy or play with. Bore depths change, distribution of the head mass changes because there is more weight in the hosel. I understand it’s appeal, but you not hitting or being fit with what you’re going to get. So all I would say is just be aware that the club dynamics are not the same as the finished product. May not matter to you or be that big a difference and your happy with at least getting an idea of what the head shaft combo might perform like, but it’s not the same.
If we could ever come up with a way to do a quick change shaft and head assembly for the purpose of fitting that duplicated precisely what the finished club would be, we would. We have tested many, if not all of them. I’m sure some day we or someone else will figure it out.

Thanks for the info, Britt! I know that All-Fit claims that their iron adaptor is weight neutral but I don’t know if it would change anything else about how the head works. I’ve called around to a few places and a few fitting studios have a small selection of shafts with the All-Fit adaptor but the selection isn’t very good, especially when I’m looking for an xstiff, low launching shaft. Maybe I’ll have to bite the bullet and go that route.
