comes off the face. But with clubs in the 460cc range, standard 6/4 titanium will be sufficient material for the maximum allowable ball speed.

Titanium can also be used in other clubs, but normally you do not see it much for a couple of reasons. First, titanium is much more expensive than stainless steel used in fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Second, the reason for titanium is for the strength and lightweight nature. If a fairway wood was made with titanium, it would normally be made much larger in size to achieve a normal weight. By doing so, the head becomes much taller and makes it effectively harder to hit off of the fairway. The same can be said for titanium irons. However, you will see some irons with a titanium insert as a way of increasing the ball speed at impact verses an all stainless steel clubhead.
