How to Fix a Head Rattle
Don Bonrud July 22nd, 2011
So your favorite driver has developed an annoying rattle in the club head. What causes this sound? It is usually caused by a piece of epoxy that has broken loose inside the club head. There are a few options to fix this problem.
One option is to pull the shaft and drill down through the hosel into the head, once this is done shoot a small amount of Rattle Stop into the club head, shake the club head until the loose piece gets caught in the rattle stop goo, reshaft the golf club and you should be good to go.
The other option to fixing the rattle is to drill a small hole in the sole of the metal wood, insert the small plastic tube from the Rattle Stop and shoot some goo in the club head just like option number one. Once the rattle is gone epoxy a small shaft tip plug in the hole, snip off the excess plug, allow epoxy to set and sand down the plug smooth with the sole of the club head.
If you find this all a bit too much to try, you can always call an accredited clubmaker. That should take care of the rattle problem.
