    I'll throw my .02 worth in here only because I know metals. Not all stainless steel is "non-magnetic". The ones that come to mind are 304 & 316 and these are typically used in food services. There are several families of stainless steels with different physical properties. The magnetic properties of stainless steel are very dependent on the elements added into the alloy. Carbon steel is magnetic and many stainless steel alloys contain carbon steel.

    I cannot speak to what type of stainless is used in your irons and that's where Titleist has the knowledge.

    Many people think that all stainless steel is non-magnetic and that's simply not accurate.

    Hope you get the final answer you seek.

    It also depends on the strength of your magnet.

    I'm confused. Stainless steel is steel with a little nickel mixed in. Something like 90% steel and 10% nickel. That's how they make stainless steel. So if a magnet sticks to steel, why wouldn't the magnet stick to stainless steel ? A club with 90% steel content should stick to a magnet. Am I missing something here ?
