Titanium
Vs. Steel
Advantages of Titanium
The advantage titanium has over steel is that it is a much stronger
metal per gram. The added strength of titanium allows golf club
manufacturers to make larger heads without having to increase
the weight. The result is a titanium head that is larger, and
lighter, than its steel counterpart. The added size of titanium
helps out when a shot is hit off center, and the reduced weight
allows golfers to generate more club head speed, which means
more distance. The main disadvantage of titanium price. Most
titanium woods are nearly twice as much as steel woods.
What is
a non-conforming club head?
A non-conforming titanium head is a head that is found to have
too much spring effect. Spring effect is similar to someone
jumping on a trampoline. A club with too much spring effect
means that the trampoline (club head) is bouncing the person
(ball) to much. If the USGA labels a club as non-conforming
that club can not be used when playing in any USGA event. All
of out titanium drivers are USGA conforming.
What
about steel?
Although titanium seems to be hailed as the miracle metal, steel
still has a place in a golfer's bag. Recent advances in the
design of steel club heads like titan steel construction have
made steel woods anything but a second class citizen to titanium.
We have a nice variety of steel woods that will produce amazing
results.
Oversized
Design
Who is
it for?
Beginners and those who have not yet developed a consistent
swing
What is
it, and why is it beneficial?
An oversized wood head is simply a head that is larger than the average
wood.
An oversized
head has two advantages
1. Increased size adds confidence in ability to hit a good shot
2. Oversize design increase forgiveness on mis-hits
Offset
Design
Who is
it for?
Players who
tend to slice their woods
(a slice for a right handed golfer is when the ball starts out
straight, and slowly curves right)
What is
it, and why is it beneficial?
An offset is when the head of the club is partially toed in. This helps
the club head stay square at impact, which leads to a straighter
shot.
