R9 MAX FCT Sleeves

I have started listing the R9 MAX sleeves on ebay. Both the .350 and the TP .335

Ebay Item numbers:

150368405585 (TP)

150368404679 (.350)

These FCT adjusts loft by 1.5 degrees and closes / opens the clubface by 3 degrees.

(The standard FCT sleeves adjusts loft by 1 degrees and closes / opens the clubface by 2 degrees)

Some better players may want 3 degrees open face so they will opt for this FCT sleeve. I have been receiving a lot of private messages with regards to this FCT sleeve, and I have now decided to list some for sale.

Well I actually have these sleeves like, 3 months ago...but because they were very rare, I did not really wanna sell them. These sleeves can only be found in the Japanese market.

I have listed a small quantity for sale on ebay, and it will be while stocks last.

These sleeves are able to fit perfectly on any R9 or R9 460 driver or fairway wood.

Pre-Released: R9 Max - Type E

Some players on the Japanese tour are already testing this new version of the R9 MAX (Type E)

What I see here, is that this version has significantly less offset than the existing R9 MAX. Having said that, its still slightly closed at N position...but of course with the trademark R9 MAX 1.5 sleeve, this clubface can be adjusted up to 3 degrees open.

I like it...its my driver! A big head (I like， LOL) with the slight offset. At address, the clubhead looks great...very confidence boosting. Unlike the current R9 MAX, this one has no MWT.

All in all, I like this much more than the current R9 MAX. This is the best driver I ever hit for the last 3 years, no kidding! This is LONG LONG LONG!!! I like it! My girlfriends were simply jealous!

Set to be released in Oct 09, but only in the Japanese market.

R9 MAX and R9 460

Hi guys, I promised I'd post pictures as soon as I could. So here, I'll post sibe by side comparisons between the R9 MAX and R9 460. 

On every picture, R9 460 is on the left side, and on the very last picture, the R9 460 is on top.

Similarities:

Both R9 MAX and R9 460 are 460cc heads

Both R9 MAX and R9 460 are conforming for USGA play

Differences:

R9 MAX has a center weight port (4g for retail, 16g for tour issued), while the weight port for the R9 460 is like the Burner family.

R9 MAX has a thinner face, which supposedly promoted further distance

R9 MAX is a rounder clubhead, while the R9 460 is a more triangular shaped clubhead.

Availability: Very limited on hand. My cousin sent some over from the Japanese Tour. If interested please email me: fairwaygolfsg@gmail.com to check availability.

Catching up, and some updates

Hi guys! I know I have not been updating my blog and catching up for the last couple of days. I've been busy volunteering at a Charity Golf Tournament.

Well, I just wanna keep this short and sweet, as its 3am here in Singapore, and I have a golf game at 12pm!

Hope everyone is doing fine and here's wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed Weekend!

I will come in and give some new updates tomorrow so stay tuned!

Will be uploading pictures and writing up on my new stuff and that includes:

1) Taylormade R9 MAX

2) Taylormade R9 460

Exciting!

Take care...

Virgin post

Hmmm, so, its my very first blog post. I am excited, to the extent that I do not know where to start. I'm gonna keep this post short though, you know why? Cos' I'm watching Champions League on TV. It's Manchester United vs Porto....and Porto just scored! Oh my...what's up with Manchester United lately? They look really shaky defensively, I hope they will come back, its just 8 mins into the match.

So lately what have I been up to? Hmm, on eBay, I have been selling the FCT shaft sleeves for the Taylormade R9 driver. These are really popular, I understand that Taylormade do not sell the FCT sleeves seperately. If you want a new FCT sleeve, buy a new shaft! Haha...so I have eBayers contacting me and asking me for these FCT sleeves, .350, TP .335 and Rescue hybrid TP .370

I have made a couple more great friends online and we still keep in touch via email on a daily basis - it's cool. This is the part I like most, the friendship gained. Its invaluable. It's not just the money I'm looking at when selling on eBay. (Yeah I know it sounds real corny but its true!)

Also been listing the pre-released Taylormade Spider Balero putter. My cousin sent me 8pcs of these. I shafted this and put it into play today, feels really good, but I still prefer my itsy bitsy spider putter, cos it's small and cute!

YES! Manchester United just scored! It's 1-1 now (15th min)....Manchester United needs to go on and whack Porto now....cos Porto has an away goal....

Oh, my cousin just told me that he's getting the R9 MAX driver (only available for the Japanese market) and the R9 460cc driver. I almost fainted. I can't believe Taylormade is releasing so many versions of the R9 within a span of less than 6 months! I thought it's the recession? Haha

Anyways, I'd welcome the R9 MAX...Japanese market products always have a hotter face and it benefits mediocre golfers like me. Haha! Also, the R9 Max, the loft is adjustable by 1.5 degrees, unlike the R9 which is adjustable by 1 degrees. The face angle can also be adjusted by 3 degrees for the R9 Max whereas for the R9, the face angle can only be adjusted by 2 degrees. Best of all, its a conforming driver, yeah! So, I'm really excited. I'll shaft it up with my favourite Graphite Design Pink Shaft! (The shaft Seon Hwa Lee uses, love Seon Hwa Lee's swing by the way)

Played golf this morning....I sucked! Haha, well, for the front 9, I guess I was not warmed up, was my usual self for the back 9.

Ok, gotta go now, I need to support my team! GLORY GLORY MANCHESTER UNITED!

Oh! American Idol tomorrow, so excited...can't wait to see Danny Gokey perform. Megan Joy is really pretty...too bad she keeps picking the wrong songs. I miss her already!

Take care you guys!
