JUPITER, Fla. – The country’s economy may be in the doldrums, but players on the 2008 PGA and Champions Tours who SST PURE aligned their clubs this year have good reason to feel upbeat.
These professional Tour players combined to win 36 events and more than $130 million in 2008, setting a new record for players using PURE aligned shafts- the most innovative shaft technology in golf. In 2007, players using SST PURE technology won 21 Tour events and $94 million. With SST’s decision to expand its Tour coverage to 34 events this year, more and more players jumped on the SST PURE bandwagon as they saw their peers work their way up the leaderboard with SST PURE aligned and assembled clubs in their bags.
“We have been on Tour for nine years and we have never seen such an overwhelming response from the players,” SST founder Dick Weiss said. “There have been a lot of other golf companies trying to get Tour players to use their products and services and some have had only very limited success, but the vast majority of players keep coming back to us because they see such a difference with PUREd clubs. We PUREd clubs for over 140 players on the PGA Tour this season in our Shaft Alignment Lab trailer, a true testament to our acceptance by Tour players and the proven benefits of our technology.”
Among the record-setting 36 wins, players with PUREd shafts won the following:
•Three Majors; •Every FedEx Cup event; •The Tradition on the Champions Tour; •The PGA Tour money leader; •The Champions Tour money leader, and many more U.S. and international events.
The same technology used on Tour is also available to amateur golfers through a network of golf pro shops that are authorized SST Licensees. Golfers of all skill levels can take advantage of the technology to improve their shot-making abilities and enjoy the benefits that PUREd shafts provide to Tour players alike.
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 SST PURE® orientation, off-line bending and twisting are minimized and impact repeatability on the center of the clubface by the golfer improves by up to 51 percent. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts – steel or graphite – from all major manufacturers. SST PURE has also been named one of golf’s all-time “Top 25 Equipment Developments” by Golf International Magazine.
