Most titanium is not brittle and actually "springy" by nature. (ask anyone who machines Ti, they will tell you.)

Good thing about Ti is that it also exhibits "unlimited" fatigue strength meaning they it can go thru an indinifite number of stress cylces without breaking if the stress are below a certain amount. Same goes for steel.
