Although swinging a hammer is a hobby for me, the advantages of titanium are clear to me every time I play golf. The combination of light weight and, in the case of my driver, a graphite shaft leads to longer drives with much less shock to my arms especially when miss-hit. The cost of titanium clubs has come down substantially now that they are pretty much the standard. As several others have said, the cost of a titanium hammer isn't really that high when you consider how long one lasts as well as the down-the-road avoidance (or at least reduction) of doctor's visits.
