Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?
First off, I really enjoy the comments here (especially vs political trash talk on news sites) from 'real' people with stable sensibilities. In particular, I liked the comments from hareynolds who, as a disbeliever, seemed to actually convince me of the science behind the Ti. While Ti is hyped for everything and has especially made fortunes for golf club manufactures, the science of speed vs mass is constantly debated. Right now there is a movement in baseball to bring back heavier bats because the lighter bats are breaking, but the quicker bat speed produces arguably better results. Now imagine if a wood bat is replaced by Ti. HRs would skyrocket and players would get hurt from the speed of the ball.
posted: 12:18 pm on July 3rdTh bottom line is that if the *lighter* Ti only allowed more speed, then a lighter steel hammer would suffice, no? But if the *energy* is transferred to the nail (or golf ball) more efficiently, then .. SOLD!
Thanks!
