energy marketsFor some of the same reasons titanium is used in the aircraft industry, titanium is also utilized in the sporting goods market. The strength to weight ratio of titanium lends itself to products including tennis rackets, lacrosse sticks, golf clubs, bikes, camping gear, etc.

The strength to weight ratio has made titanium a great material choice in the sporting goods market where weight reduction is beneficial. One of the first sporting goods applications for titanium was back in the 1990’s when titanium was used in the manufacturing of golf club heads. Titanium’s light weight allowed for the design of a large head, hence creating a bigger “soft spot” to hit the ball, which results in a more accurate and longer distanced shot.
