That ain't crap compared to Spoons 17.5 grams.

Not that i dont trust you but i work with titanium before and something of the size can't be that light, if you doubt my thought, please go to a post office and have them weigh it on their scale.... but 17.5 grams is way too light for almost every grade of ti

Wouldn't know... I've had it for 4 days. Its not going to get any hotter than an aluminum one. It just conducts heat faster. So if your hand is cooler than it is, the **** will cool off. If your hand is warmer than the ****, it will warm up. The difference between Ti and Al is that it conducts through Titanium many times faster.
I hope you know how much Ti ***** are...
Just as reference:
Spoon's $135 (retail)
STi $150
ITR $200
NSX-R $280

Oh wait... someone already did
