I recebtly salvagd the shaft from $1 fles market putter for another purpose.
The head is very heavy for its size and nonmagnetic. What type of alloy
or metal is it?
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Lots of them have been made of bronze, which is quite heavy compared
to steel and steel alloys. Its density varies a bit with the alloy but
it's generally around 8.5 g/cm^3 versus 7.7 for steel. Some bronze
alloys, such as gunmetal, do not look like brass.

There also are tungsten-head putters. They're much heavier still --
19.3 g/cm^3 -- alsmot twice as heavy as lead.
