What is your specical striker?
I love reading this thread.  Titanium is expensive, but you will not find me out in the woods without my 3.5" titanium call.  I love it that much! 

My 3" one, wow that thing will really ring your ears.  I had a hard time convincing Daryl to let me get that one, but he did.  It's all turkey, but there is not a caller out there I've found that is louder than my 3" titanium.  It brings a new meaning to loud and proud to me.  It's one of the few calls the wife has honestly laid down the hammer and said no way I can play it in the house.

I am not having the issues of the surface slicking up at all.  Treat it just like copper and it was used a lot last spring.  Took it out just now and didn't even touch it and away she went singing again :) 

I do have a special striker for it though.  Just like I do for my copper pot. 

Now I'm not real scientific on the sounds, but I think some of these are on to it.  Not sure there is a lot of difference between copper and aluminum though... I think just saying I have a titanium call is cool  ROTFLMBO

Man I'll tell you as soon as Daryl figures out what he made it out of....  That's why it's a special striker.  I have two and he cannot remember what the wood was...  I think it's laminated monkey but not sure.  I'll find out and post them.

I got a few Laminated Strikers from Daryl. They sound great on my Titanium caller.
