play in the rear hub

[Taffmonster]

just got my sram S30's and it seems the rear hub is loose. the wheel has a little play in it and rocks from side to say a fraction. any ideas ? im a real novice here

Is the wheel in the bike?

When you apply the quick release clamp it does apply some pressure on the hub, sometimes the hub is left just a little loose so when the QR clamp is applied the slack is taken up....?

tried tightening the skewer but still nothing

In the frame?

Where did you buy it?

If a shop, I'd take it back and say "WTF"...?

Maybe someone who knows more will chime in
