T7 II Tour Model Beta Titanium 460cc Head from $60.00 per head
T7 II 460cc Beta Titanium Taylor Made clone Driver from $90.00 per club

The 460cc T7 II driver allows golfers to optimize distance, direction and trajectory. The newly engineered beta titanium face of the T7 II driver posses the spring effect to help launch your ball to distances most golfers aren’t used to. The direction and the trajectory are determined by how the golfer places the 4 adjustable and interchangeable weights located throughout the head. Extra weights of differing amounts which can be moved around until you find the perfect set up for "your game" can be purchased separately. Heads come with 2 2 gram weights and 2 8 gram weights already installed. Extra weights and headcover sold separately.

Royal Precision iron shafts take top two spots at Match Play

America’s first steel shaft manufacturer, Royal Precision claimed first- and second-place at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship with its Rifle® Project X iron shafts. It was the second consecutive win for Royal Precision products at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, and a dominate victory for the steel shaft-maker favored by the Top 25 ranked golfers in the world.

“The WGC-Accenture is another great win, and we’re very excited to see our technology and innovation in steel shaft design deliver superior performance at the highest levels of the game,” says Ray Lucas, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Royal Precision. “With the world’s best players choosing to play Rifle steel shafts by a 3:2 margin over our nearest competitor, this victory is a great testimonial to the quality and performance of Royal Precision products.”

According to the World Golf Ranking on 16 February 2006, shafts designed and manufactured by Royal Precision are the clear favorite, with 13 of the World’s Top 25 Ranked golfers playing Rifle. Among the other steel brands, the closest competitor fielded only eight players and another brand had two players, while two top golfers played graphite shafts in their irons.

Only Rifle steel shafts incorporate four unique technologies to generate unparalleled performance and consistency. These sophisticated shafts feature: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design Technology that eliminates the energy-robbing ‘steps’ found on most other steel shafts, and provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact; Patented Internal ‘Rifling’ that transfers energy more efficiently than other steel shafts, reduces vibration and increases distance; and advanced Flighted Technology that features produces variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.

Why use titanium for a wood head?

Whenever an item needs to be made light weight and high strength, titanium is always considered for its manufacture. Most titanium alloys possess the same strength as common grades of stainless steel, but are 40% less dense (the weight per volume area). Titanium therefore is commonly chosen for the manufacture of aircraft parts and medical equipment where strength at a lightweight is important.

In a wood head, even though a driver head, for example, will always be designed to weigh between 190g – 205g, the lower density of titanium allows the head to be made much larger in size and still possess the same strength than if a steel alloy were used. Steel's higher density means the maximum size for a wood head is about 310-320cc before the head would exceed the weight requirement for a normal club.  Titanium driver heads can be made larger than 500cc and still weigh 190g – 200g because of the lower density.

In addition, titanium possesses a higher strength to modulus ratio than steel. This means it is possible to manufacture the face of a wood head from titanium and achieve a better spring face performance (high COR) than with all but extremely high strength steel alloys.

Metallurgy has developed hundreds of different tests to compare the mechanical properties of metals to each other.  In golf, for the manufacture of club heads, there are four key metal mechanical properties in the production of titanium wood heads. A titanium wood head is constructed of 3 to 4 pieces welded together.  Each different piece (face, crown, skirt, sole) has different stress put on it and is looked to perform different duties, therefore each piece can be made of differing titanium alloys.  The mechanical properties needed to produce a high COR face are not the same as the crown.

The key properties of Titanium for wood head design are:

Density  The ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume, expressed, for example, in units of grams per cubic centimeter or pounds per cubic foot. The density of a pure substance varies little from sample to sample and is often considered a characteristic property of the substance. Density often is taken as an indication of how "heavy" a substance is. Iron is denser than cork, since a given volume of iron is more massive (and weighs more) than the same volume of cork. It is often said that iron is "heavier" than cork, although a large volume of cork obviously can be more massive and thus be heavier (i.e., weigh more) than a small volume of iron.  This is a property that is very important in all parts of the club head as we like as light, low density, a club head as possible.

Tensile Strength The measure of a material's ability to resist rupture.  In other words, how much force is required to fracture the material. Tensile strength is also defined in PSI or KSI. This too is also important for the manufacture of the face and body parts of a wood head.

Hardness A comparative scale measurement of the ability of a material to resist surface deformation.  In other words, how much does one material resist permanent denting of its surface. While there are several scales of comparison for hardness, the one most commonly used in conjunction with golf club head design is the Rockwell Scale of Hardness. Hardness is important for all parts of a wood head, though more important for the face.

Elongation A comparison of the ductility of different materials.  In other words, how easy is one material to stretch than another before it breaks such that the higher the number the easier to stretch the material before breaking. Elongation is defined as a per-cent of the dimension of the test piece, such that a higher per-cent value represents greater ductility of the material. Elongation is an important property for both the face and the body parts of the wood head because it will offer an indication of the ability of the face or top crown to flex before permanent damage could occur.
