Ti is lighter not stronger. If its bent through a straight section and you know someone with a TIG welder you could chop out the section and stitch in a new piece

Yep....but they are light! :beer: David had the same experience, just a tree glance off the side of the ski and it was in 2 pieces. Nicely made product, just not the best choice in the trees. Their Cromoly arms are much stronger, still lighter than stock....at least his Doo arms are.

You can't just tig titanium. It requires a process to weld.
Buy a new one or replace with chromoly .
