The ultimate golf shaft is now available in the UK.
Titanium golf shafts are manufactured exclusively in the USA by Titanium Sports Technologies, whose expertise in this field began in 1985 and who have appointed Designer Golf Limited as their sole UK Distributor.
What is Titanium ?
Titanium is a metallic element whose unique properties include high strength, low density, excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance and low modulus, making it the ideal material for golf shafts.
Developed primarily for the aerospace industry, titanium alloys have also found a growing use in medical, petrochemical, architectural, naval and sports applications. Not to mention that all club manufacturers claim that this is the best material for driver heads.
Titanium itself is not rare, but very abundant, with large deposits occurring in Australian beach sand. However, titanium's extreme reactivity with oxygen makes it very difficult to produce it in metallic form and it is a very long and expensive process to create the seamless tubes used in shaft construction.
The Benefits of Titanium
- Greater distance than steel - better control than graphite - and much more consistent than both.
- Shafts are manufactured from seamless Titanium alloy tubing.
- Designed with a continuous taper to control both shaft flex and flex point.
- Heat treated for higher strength.
- The natural dampening effects of Titanium absorb shocks and vibrations, because of its unique low elastic modulus.
- Light weight generates increased clubhead speed.
- Low torque for greater control.
- Excellent corrosion resistance in all natural and salt water environments, means that it will never rust or pit like steel shafts.
- Titanium has excellent fracture toughness and will resist damage from impact, unlike steel or graphite.
- Every shaft manufactured by TiSport is inspected by hand for weight, flex, dimensions and finish.
Wood - Steel - Graphite - Titanium
Golf shafts reach the top of their evolutionary chain.
- Play strong. To play strong your game must evolve and with titanium shafts on every club in your bag, it will.
- Hit straighter shots every time. Dispersion ratios are at least 25% better than whatever shafts you are currently using,. Titanium shafts do not twist on miss hit shots, improving your accuracy, which means more fairways and more greens hit in regulation.
- Maximise your power. Titanium shafts use your natural swing more effectively by focusing your power into every shot.
- Get better feel. Steel, graphite or composite shafts simply cannot give you the feel, confidence and control that you get from Titanium shafts.
- Guaranteed for Life.* How many times have you heard that before ? Well our shafts are guaranteed for life. After all, they are made of titanium, which has the best strength to weight ratio of any known natural element found on earth. Graphite and composite shafts consist of, well, epoxy mainly. So over time while graphite and composite shafts may break down, chip and crack and steel shafts age harden and rust, Titanium shafts endure. A testimony to Mother Nature at her best.
* This guarantee applies to all normal wear and tear and impact damage caused during normal play.
- Titanium Shafts are the final step in the evolution of your game.
As you can see there are major benefits over both steel and graphite shafts, both in playability and longevity. Add to this light weight, low torque and amazing feel and you will see why, in the USA, Titanium shafts are widely used by Independent Clubmakers, who know and understand the benefits that these shafts offer to golfers of all ability levels, irrespective of age or sex.
Unfortunately Titanium has always been too expensive for mass producers of golf clubs and has therefore never gained the recognition that it deserves as the ultimate shaft material. However the truth is that Titanium shafts are now no more expensive than many graphite or hybrid graphite shafts and indeed less expensive that many of the heavily publicised ones.
