Rattle in my Covert driver.

[DanFST]

My Beloved Covert Driver now makes a hell of a noise on impact, very different to a few months ago. It also rattles if you give it a little thud on a range mat. It sounds like the neck adjuster would if it was loose. But there is no movement at all and every things tight. I generate a lot of club head speed, but is this the end?

Anyone else had similar problems?

Edit: Had a look round and the plastic cover in the rear cavity has come loose, which is housing a split in the driver itself. Gutted to say the least, there is no way It should break there / I can accidentally damage it there.

Sad to hear that.

Don't completely dispair, i had a yonex driver crack across the face in use. Even though it was circa 8 years old, yonex apologises and offered me their latest model for £70 c.f a RRP of nearly £290. Took a while through my local dealer back through the rep to UK HQ etc but they came good in the end. I sent it back with a 'have a look, bit surprised and disappointed given your quality reputation, perhaps your quality / R&D folks may be interested in this and a gesture would be appreciated' type tone but not a 'this is broke and I want it fixed now' tone else I doubt I'd have got anywhere!

Best of luck,


Simon

I would contact Nike with the problem. I had an old VRS driver that had a problem and they sorted it out for me. PM sent :thup:

I'm guessing its bits of dried glue inside the head that's come away. Annoying but wont affect performance.
Nike as a whole usually have excellent CS and might even throw in a nice discount code for their website aswell.

I'm going to have a word with nike. But the Customer service is pretty terrible. The only reason as I believing they're restructuring their EU golf. I've been trying to find a replacement vr blade 8 iron for a few weeks and haven't managed to find anyone that can help.

Try contact Nike direct. I bought an Ogio back off my mate.only 6 months old and I broke the strap. Emailed Ogio to buy a replacement, they sent me it free of charge. Some companys are spot on

If that doesn't work, take it to a club fitter who will almost certainly be able to squirt a little 'hot melt' or Rat Glue into the head and trap whatever is rattling. Problem solved!

it's split- sounds more than just a piece of loose glue

Good point - merely read the title!

The rattle does not appear to be the major problem!
