This desire has lead to golf club manufacturers incorporating a wide variety of materials into golf clubs.
Clubs come with shafts of steel, aluminum, graphite and titanium.
Club heads come in a similar variety of choices, including steel and titanium. The shafts of most modern clubs are longer than clubs fifteen years ago. As well the heads of golf clubs today, especially drivers are larger. These advances in club design and materials have resulted in a club that drives up to 40 yards longer and putt straighter than fifteen years ago. The standard states that a club may only be called titanium if titanium makes up most of the weight of the club head.
