Since the R9 Max launched here in Japan I’ve gotten tons of questions and inquiries about the Flight Control Technology sleeve that allows for the adjustments on the new R9 and R9 Max drivers. In order to make sure the sleeves are interchangable between models, including US models we decided to pick up US spec R9 driver for comparison.
First we pulled off some sleeves to check the sizes and determined that stock shafted FCT sleeves are 0.350″ diameter and TP and upgrade shafted FCT Sleeves are 0.335″.
We then began interchanging the sleevees into different heads and are happy to report that the R9 Max FCT sleeve does fit in a US model R9 and the R9 FCT sleeve does fit in the Japan model R9.
We also contacted TM here in Japan to nudge them a bit to see if they would be selling FCT sleeves which of course they said they would not be. Not to worry though as there appear to be lots of sleeves available online and on various auction sites. One member at TSG already has 5 different shafts for his R9 driver. This is definitely every enthusiasts dream!
What is the outside diameter of the sleeve. I know its the same for R9 and R9 TP. Just wondering what it is and would it fit a CGB Max driver.
I too would like to know if the R9 tip fits the CGB. Can;t find any info for the CGB sleeves anywhere.
can you get me any r7 cbg max limited adapter sleeves?
