OK...so I will ask.
Don't you want the weight of steel to increase the power of the blows?

So wouldn't any energy that you save by swinging a lighter hammer be canceled out by having to swing harder and more times?

If this were a 3.5 oz hammer, I'd have bought four. One for each of my aluminum car tires. (They get steel nail punctures.) Total, 14oz.

Ke = 0.5mv2

You are delivering kinetic energy. Mass is to the power of one whereas speed is squared. In other words, speed is the dominant factor in delivering a blow. If you have good control, it's better to hit faster with a lighter hammer. The weight of the hammer will also keep you from tiring out.

Experience, 10 years oil field.

Not arguing the physics here, but my own experience tells me I can do a lot more damage with a 5 pound sledgehammer compared to my child's plastic toy hammer.

Right on time. I was waiting for somebody to say something like why not just swing a blade of grass really fast. You need something solid for energy transfer. Better question would be why not a tiny cobbler's hammer swung super fast. Same answer, not enough contact area, not enough energy transfer. Titanium allows you to have enough mass, a big enough head and therefore surface area for good transfer, with relatively little weight.

Sledgehammers absolutely have their use. In tight spaces where you just can't get a good swing, or for a swing straight down where you can really use gravity to help you speed up the swing, I'd go with something heavier.

So basically, velocity alone (even if it's the "dominant factor" from a kinetic energy standpoint) isn't the one that's always going to matter.

Hard pass for me - can't justify this much on something that other hammer(s) can do just fine for me.

Yeah. 12-in hammer union, sledgehammer. But for banging up something like rafters, Framing and stuff, this might be pretty good. Another advantage of titanium is it's pretty darn durable. I'm not a buyer either just on account of not having a use for one at the moment, but given the price of titanium hammers, seems like this was a pretty decent deal.

It's still a 14 oz hammer, so I'm not sure the mass discussion even applies so stringently. I have a bunch of 16 oz steel hammers with entirely pedestrian strike face sizes. A 12% difference certainly doesn't make me think the MSRP on this Hart was a good value proposition.

It feels a lot like the edc hobby, everyone needs a Ti knife, flashlight, lighter, money clip, etc because Ti is magical or something. Maybe if there was a bigger weight difference by smarter design, or a more unique construction method taking advantage of the 45% weight difference (for equal dimensions) for a more durable handle with greater corrosion resistance on the metal components. But this just looks like an even larger head stuck on a very typical wood shaft.
