2.   Cobra is expected to introduce a titanium head club in January, which may be depressing current sales.

3.   How much lower the price of a titanium club can go is debatable.

5.   That results in higher manufacturing costs that could keep titanium clubs at least slightly more expensive than regular steel for the foreseeable future.

6.   The cost of graphite-shaft clubs, titanium club heads and bison leather bags hits home before you even tee off.

7.   The USGA could have, for example, banned titanium clubs, but took a middle path instead.

8.   To be sure, titanium club heads are larger and more stable than steel heads, and that helps golfers improve the accuracy of their shots, said Mazza.
