The Artful Duffer Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone have experience throwing a shaft into a Taylormade FCT adapter? I've done a couple clubs in the past(older fairways that I wasn't worried if I screwed up b)ut I'm actually a little nervous about this one seeing as I'm still more or less a rookie builder and thinking I'd be better off dropping it by the shop and paying to have it done instead.

Matt Saternus Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've done LOTS of these and it's simple. No more or less complicated than reshafting a head. Same basic stuff: prep the shaft, mix the epoxy well, insert, done. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfmanufaktur Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Please just check the ID. They are made in .350 and .335. Depending on your tip and shaft, you might have to use a shim. Regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Michael Good looking out on the tip size, I almost panicked for a second and double checked to make sure I'd ordered the right size. I checked before I ordered and I did get the right size to match the shaft, but there was that moment where I wasn't 100% sure of myself. It came today and shaft should be showing up tomorrow if FedEx tracking is correct. Now I just have to figure out which grip I want to use and I'll be ready for assembly.

RookieBlue7 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A tip to install it? Put the tip in the head in the playing position and install the shaft like any club in the preferred orientation (spine, FLO, SST Pured, etc). There's no need to put it in the sleeve out of the club.
