As the shell structures will be positioned only a few centimetres apart from the point of particle collision, an ultra-light weight component design with extremely tight geometrical tolerances, applying composite materials with extreme stiffness and high radiation hardness is stipulated.
In adults, excess fluoride intake is associated with effects ranging from increased bone mass to joint pain and stiffness and, in extreme cases, crippling skeletal fluorosis.
Mostly because of the shaft's extreme stiffness, if the average golfer tried to hit Woods's driver, he might not be able to get the ball airborne and it would probably swiftly slice to the right.
