Or if you have room to add weight internally, then just inject epoxy mixture about 1-2 swing weight to catch the piece and let it dry on it over night. Good luck!

It's been my experience that some manufacturers add a small amount of glue to the head during the assembly process. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but sometimes the easiest way to fix a rattle is a blowtorch on the bottom of the club for a few seconds then let the glue catch the rattle. I'd say about 25% of the time that works, depending on the manufacturer. That may be what you experienced when the rattle temporarily went away.
