Did you buy a straight bore bogus Taylormade FCT sleeve?

Another difference - significant difference I would say, when buying a fake Taylormade R9 FCT sleeve is that the shaft sleeve is a straight bore.

Well, it simply means its 360 degrees of pure straightness, LOL.....no matter where you turn, L, R, NU or whatever, its still straight. It does not adjust the golf club at all. No, lofts are not changed, lie angles are not changed, clubface remains the same - you did not adjust it to close it or open it. Your R9 becomes any other golf club when you buy a bogus FCT sleeve.

What's so special about the R9 is the adjustability factor. So lets all keep it that way.

The easiest way to tell if a FCT sleeve is straight bore if to hold it up straight against the wall (it helps if your wall is white or of a lighter color tone).

Put the FCT sleeve facing you at its L position, the FCT sleeve should tilt towards the right.

Put the FCT sleeve facing you at its R position, the FCT sleeve should tilt towards the left.

You might get giddy at first.....but you focus close enough you will see it. I've taken some comparison shots for all to see.

Another great article to help you buy genuine sleeves.

God bless all of u!
