MIAMI – The SST PURE Shaft Alignment Lab, which has PURE aligned shafts for more than 200 Tour players, will kick off its 2007 season this week at the Allianz Championship on the Champions Tour in Boca Raton, Fla.
The event is the first of seven straight in the state of Florida for the SST PURE shaft lab. After the Allianz, SST will attend two more Champions Tour events in the Sunshine State before jumping to four in a row on the PGA Tour.
"It’s certainly a great time of year to be a golf fan in the state of Florida," SST founder Dick Weiss said. "We are looking forward to our eighth year on the PGA Tour, making SST PURE technology available to the best players in the world."
SST PURE Shaft Alignment is used by more than 200 players on the PGA Tour and is available through a network of custom clubmakers and manufacturers throughout the United States and internationally.
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.
Headquartered in Miami, Strategic Shaft Technologies, LC, was founded by 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.
