  15. SERIOUSLY TOURSPEC, HOOK UP ALL THE CUSTOM SHAFTS FOR THE R9, I'M WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF THE ACTUAL SHAFT. HOOK ME UP!! :tsg_smilie_love: LOOKING AT ALL THOSE OPTIONS IS CRUEL GUYS...

  16. i had someone do it but it looks a lot easier than working with a normal head. just as you said, prep, epoxy, and stick it in aligned the way you want. that's it. the sleeve is so easy and fast to head up, much better for the shaft. i always have them use tour epoxy so it is easy to remove with very little heat and doesn't stick to the shaft that much, otherwise when you pull the shaft, you have to sand off the epoxy. If you use tour epoxy, the white stuff, you can just scrape and rub it off keeping the original shaft diameter in tact.

    it's really great for trying different shafts but when you play, you'll probably just stick to one. I plan on finding a few shafts that work for me that will go either left, right, high, and low so i can change them depending on the course conditions. great concept!! too bad Japan hasn't caught on yet.

    i hope TM or TS just sell that soon. It would be an even better WOAH experiment than the FCT for many golfers!!

    yup, i have 5 shafts with sleeves so i can tinker away.

    geek heaven!

    cutting from the butt will make it feel stiffer but if you add weight back to the head (easily done with the R9), you will effectively soften the flex a little. If it's only an inch, it's really no big deal. The inch from the butt doesn't do too much to the total weight but adding some weight in the head to counteract the swingweight difference will effect the total weight. The good thing about the R9 is that you can add and take away weight easily without lead tape or plugs and try different weight shafts. That's the only way, imo, to combo nirvana. There's so many factors in finding a good combo, with total weight being one of them and getting the right flex.

    ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! This is AWESOME!!!. :atsg_smilie_roll: How does it work exactly... Thanx for the quick reply.

    Just slip the desired shaft into the sleeve with epoxy or ....

    I was wondering if anyone had cut or knows how cutting the R9 F1 shaft would affect performance. I'm interested in 44.75, how would you add weight and so on? Any chance TS will just sell the R9 shafts offered as an upgrade...that would be huge! :tsg_smiley_gun: Gocchin?
