Yeah generally titanium compared to plastic or composite

Basically if something says Ti, either it is useless marketing jargon or it could be slightly stronger.

Or lighter I believe (could be wrong).  Bindings have a lot of thick, heavy metal and the ti bindings are supposed to replace some of this metal with titanium creating a stronger, lighter binding.

Means they can add $50 to the price and the binding may be a little stronger.

It means they cost more with little benefit.  AKA: Salomon 912 TI from a few years ago.
