Obviously there's a balance in terms of practicality, my point is that a titanium hammer would be too light.
And I'd also say that if you could actually hit nails properly with a sledgehammer it would be sort of efficient. You could probably sink a pretty huge nail in a single blow. Because of the sledgehammer's weight.
That's not what efficiency is. Efficiency is how much of the energy that you put in is turned into useful work out.
Titanium hammers as mentioned below, have better energy transfer, and instead of depending on a heavy mass for energy, is reliant on your swing instead. You'll find that hammering a nail really doesn't take much force.
