MIAMI – Golfers in and around Minneapolis will have a chance to be treated like Tour players this week when the SST PURE Shaft Alignment Lab visits three area golf courses.
Between working the PGA Tour’s U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee and the 3M Championship on the Champions Tour in Blaine, Minn., SST’s Shaft Alignment Lab will spend three days offering local players access to the same technology that has been used by more than 200 Tour players. After working with the members at private club Hazeltine on Thursday, the Shaft Alignment Lab will be open to the public at Braemar Golf Club on Friday and Rush Creek Golf Club on Saturday.
Using proprietary computer software and sensitive data-acquisition sensors, the SST PURE shaft alignment process analyzes the structural irregularities that exist to some degree in every golf shaft and locates the shaft’s most stable orientation. By assembling the club with the shaft in its PURE orientation, off-line bending and twisting of the shaft are minimized and impact repeatability on the center of the clubface by the golfer improves up to 51 percent. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts – steel or graphite – from most major manufacturers.
"We have already had a fantastic response from golfers who have had their clubs PUREd," said Lynn Anderson of Totally Driven Golf, an SST PURE licensee in Oakdale, Minn.
Headquartered in Miami, Strategic Shaft Technologies, LC, was founded by Dick Weiss, who was the creator of the SST PURE® process. The patented SST PURE process of club assembly – deemed in compliance with USGA standards – locates each shaft’s irregularities and aligns the shaft to neutralize them, so that each club bends in the direction it should – straight down the target line. Upon having his shafts SST PURE aligned, a player receives a personalized computer printout confirming the process and an SST PURE shaft label for every shaft that has been PUREd. SST PURE is available through a network of custom clubmakers and manufacturers throughout the United States and internationally. To locate a licensee near you, please visit www.sstpure.com.
