I purchased 2 duel axis and two single. Both of the duels were pretty sloppy, one was very sloppy.
I took them apart and tightened them up. Also added some teflon dry lube between the plates. They are tight with no slop now at all and still rotate fine. Quick easy fix.
I realize that you shouldn't have to fix new rod holders right out of the box but I did what I had to do.
First trip to the Oak with them next week, I'll see how they hold up.
