Golfers have asked and now they receive!
To follow in the foot steps of Tourspecgolfer and continue all the great news from TM, Taylormade Japan today announced the availability of several high end Japanese Market shafts with FCT Sleeve from Taylormade Japan. So for those with no access to aftermarket or loose FCT Sleeves or just want to keep their warranty intact, you can now buy top shafts from Diamana, Graphite Design and Fujikura with two different FCT sleeve options.
As you all know FCT or Flight Control Technology fits with Taylormade’s R9 series including the Japan R9 Max allowing you to change the loft, face angle and lie angle. These shafts are interchangeable with all R9 heads, Japan or US models and can be ordered from Taylormade with custom length and grip (seven TM grip options).
Length Options
For drivers Taylormade Japan lets you choose a shaft that will give you a finished club length of anywhere between 44.5″ and 46.75″. For fairway woods, 41.75″ to 43″ in length.
Choice of Sleeve
Two different FCT Sleeves are available. The standard R9 sleeve that gives loft adjustments of 1* either way and face angle by 2* either way or the R9 Max Sleeve which gives loft adjustments of 1.5* either way or face angle of 3* either way.
All the FCT Shafts will be available in the TSG pro shop by the end of the week!
Here is a list of the available shafts. Steel shafts are also available like Nippon NS Pro and Project X for R9 Rescues.
Awesome news! I was one of the customers who asked. Seemed kinda redundant to not offer the shafts only. I can test out the Motore Speeder with this… Great news!
I had asked for upgrade shafts as well. The Motore Speeder is one shaft I’m looking at as is the Kai’li since they are both not available here in the US.
I have one with a Motore Speeder and the distance for myself and my other playing partners who hit the driver was not so hot. The Kai’li is a different story, I have one on the way with the sleeve and have never tried it in the R9 but in other clubs the Kai’li is AMAZING!
How do I purchase an R9 shaft and FCT sleeve?

Just an update to everyone. We are currently working our pricing with TM Japan and shafts should be in the shop by next week some time. Thanks for your patience.
how do I find shafts for my R9?
