bartolomeo1 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have a X-Drive 460 w/ XCON shaft. I heard a rattle the other day and wondered what was casuing the noise. It turns out the two screws in the head are removable. After taking both out and weighing them, they come in about .75g/each. Are there other weights you can add to this head like TM, Adams, etc? Has anybody seen the wrench to tighten these screws? BTW, this is one hell of a combo for a driver Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Are you sure those are designed to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Where did you get your head from? Ebay? They are not supposed to be taken out. After you remove them and re insert them they are almost certain to rattle again. You could try black onyx to set it in there, but it gets brittle in time.

bartolomeo1 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) Got the head from a TS dealer. I assume they are made to take out to tweak the weight in the head as they are screws and have slots for a wrench. I am assuming if they were not for adjustments, they would of been permanent plugs, not removable screws. Just thought it was interesting. I will try some super glue as I have no plans on altering the weight of the head as it works great now.

Slice1969 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 It is kind of ironic, but the same thing happened to me. I also have a Tourstage 460 with the Xcon 6 installed in it. One of the est drivers I have ever hit. Most of that is really the shaft. I am still trying to get used to the deep face, but one you launch one, it goes for sure. I was averaging about 250-260 carry with 105-110 mph, and right now, I am at 275 carry. IMPRESSIVE. When I first hit mine, after the first shot, I heard the rattle in the head, so my clubmaker decided to just insert some glue inside the head and it stopped. He also said that the weights should not come out. I did not want to force it and it worked. So I am not sure, if these are random events, or if there is a much deeper issue here....... Chris, the head weighted at 208g Anyone have had the rattle noise as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii is sometimes considered "special grounds" because of its very close cultural connection to Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, well the wrench isnt the problem its having the weights made. If there are more than 20-50 guys willing to do this then its almost worth a try, as of now its just me and you pal.

Slice1969 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The raw head was 198g, no plug. Brand New. It is kind of light for me, as I always play around 205g. I believe the extra weight came from the glue inside the head. Overall, with the shaft (45 inch finished) and grip, the swingweight was D2, which is where I play my driver. 208 is HEAVY! wow. Ive only seen them in the 205g range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just an FYI guys, all heads we have purchased direct from Tourstage are a 205g head weight. The fakes, trash bin, and black market X-Drive 460 heads on ebay are all coming in at 194-198ish. There should be no glue in the head if its brand new. It also shouldn't rattle.
