Why use Titanium for a wood head?
Whenever an item needs to be made light weight and high strength, titanium is always considered for its manufacture. Most titanium alloys possess the same strength as common grades of stainless steel, but are 40% less dense (the weight per volume area). Titanium therefore is commonly chosen for the manufacture of aircraft parts and medical equipment where strength at a lightweight is important. In a wood head, even though a driver head, for example, will always be designed to weigh between 190g 205g, the lower density of titanium allows the head to be made much larger in size and still possess the same strength than if a steel alloy were used. Steel’s higher density means the maximum size for a wood head is about 310-320cc before the head would exceed the weight requirement for a normal club. Titanium driver heads can be made larger than 500cc and still weigh 190g 200g because of the lower density. In addition, titanium possesses a higher strength to modulus ratio than steel. This mean
