RE: ShopTalk: Fixing rattle in driver head

[Royce Engler]

Either one should work.  If the piece is small enough to pull back through the hosel, take a long wooden "Q-Tip" and put some GS Tour Van epoxy on the tip (or any other quick set epoxy).  Insert it down the hosel, and shake the head until the loose piece sticks to the q-tip.  Set it down and let the epoxy set up, then pull the q-tip back out of the hosel.  That's worked several times for me...   Royce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hayes, Jeff Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 9:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ShopTalk: Fixing rattle in driver head I need to fix a rattle created by a plug that I pushed into a driver head while cleaning out the hosel.  I've never tried to "capture" such a large piece of material and am wondering what will work best.  For reference, I've used one part of two part epoxy to quiet some metal shavings that I couldn't seem to get out of a head and I've also added weight to a head by mixing two part epoxy and tungsten - both times adding the material through the bottom of the hosel.  I figure that either of these methods MIGHT work in catching the larger piece but am unsure of which to try vs. another method that I haven't thought of or tried yet.  I'm open to any suggestions on capturing this bugger.  I have no problem adding material to the head since I need a little extra weight anyway and wouldn't mind quieting the sound a bit as a side effect.  I have quickly given up on trying to catch the plug and pull it out because I really can't ever see it because it�s a pretty deep hosel.  I also tried ordering Golfsmith's rattle stopper kit and it is no longer available.  TIA, Jeff
