Titliest 905R Driver Trouble

[DavidFehertysBike]

Ive been using the Titlest 905R driver for about 6 months now. Bought it new over the summer. I love the club. Much better than my TM 425. But anyway, I was playing over the weekend in the cold, and after a swing i heard something rattling around inside of the head. Something broke off in there.

Before i try to contact titleist (or acushnet) to see if they will repair or replace it, i was wondering if they would even take back or repair it to begin with and if anyone has had any experience trying to return a club to acushnet.

I would think Titleist would fix/replace it assuming it's still under warranty. Call them and check, my only worry is that the 905R is two models old so it may be out of warranty now.

I've sent a driver back to get a shaft fixed awhile back and they were great about it. It's part of the reason I mainly use Titleist products.

your local shop can fix it if titliest doesn't take it back due to warranty issues. it might have been the very tip of the shaft or even a piece of dried glue inside the hozel that fell off. no worries its not a hard fix.

Thanks alot. Ill give them a call and see what they say.

It sounds like a piece of apoxy broke off, no big deal. I've seen shops that fix that for $10-$15

Thats exactly it, a piece of apoxy broke off im told. Or they told me some plasma welding might have chipped off. They offered to take it back and send me a 907d2 with the proforve v2 shaft i prefer. I told them thanks but no thanks, ive never had any success at all with the D2. From my personal expereinces, its the worst driver i have ever hit.

The rep told me the rattle wont effect the playabillity of the club at all, so im just going to keep it and deal with it until i can pick up another head on ebay or something.

Hmm my hybrid had a rattle, do you think they would send me a new one??

As long as you never had it re-shafted its my feeling they will take it back and send you another one.

I just called customer service about my hybrid and the rattle, and they pretty much shot me down, and said I have to take it to my local pro shop, what exactly did you say? I'd really like a new 909H with a v2.

Well i had a bit of an inside, but basically i explained what happened and he explained back to me what the procedure was. Maybe there is something different in the woods and hybrids vs a driver, but i know that they wont send you a

brand new model club...haha... The one that was offered to me was the previous 907D2 model because they maybe dont stock 905R heads anymore.

Hah well they don't make the 585H anymore, so I just hoped, hmm maybe I'll call again, I doubt they can give me one with a different shaft, but if so I'd love a v2 stifff.

The exact same thing happened to my old Ignite 460 when playing in the cold. What I did to fix this was I would go back out in the cold and hit some golf balls until it would rattle again. Once it starts rattling, let the particle settle to the bottom. Go home and use a hair dryer on high heat and blow up on the bottom of the club for several minutes. This will melt the glue adhering the particle to the bottom. It should stay put for good if you play in temps above 50.

Fixed and doesn't cost a dime!

Really? hahaha! Wouldnt think that it would weight the head in a weird way, though?

Nope, feels the exact same. I mean the loose particle couldn't of weighed more than 1gram (if even that much).
