BALTIMORE, MD. – January 21, 2008 – STX, world-renowned as an industry pioneer in putter innovation, and for its patented Soft Face Insert Technology, announced today that the company will introduce the first putter in the Bob Engman Signature Series, the Envision TR.
“The Envision TR is the perfect line extension for the Bob Engman Signature Series. It combines world class design with superior functionality. The elegant lines are stunning but more importantly they serve as excellent alignment aids.” said Steve Henneman, Director of Golf for STX.
Chief Club Designer Bob Engman continues to fuse form and function with the release of the new signature series putters by STX. The most recent addition, the Envision TR boasts square angles and bold lines to ensure a proper address. The square shaped head distributes weight further out towards the heel and toe for a higher moment of inertia. The geometric shapes chosen by Engman make it easy for golfers to see when the putter is not properly aligned throughout the stroke.
For a variety of responses, the Envision TR will be available in the black, red and green insert options. STX offers better putting through chemistry. The black insert is the softest in the STX line. It delivers the highest friction and resilience rate plus increased dwell time. Those characteristics are chemically formulated to get the ball rolling sooner and keep your putts on line. For a medium resiliency rate, the red insert offers an intermediate amount of dwell time for true control. And, for golfers who prefer a firmer feel, the green insert provides a harder feel with less resilience.
A sophisticated gunmetal finish compliments the bullet back style that epitomizes the STX style. The Envision TR is machined from a 304 stainless steel to ensure precise angles and a perfectly flat striking surface.
A proprietary double bend shaft on the Envision TR moves the hands forward for proper alignment. All signature series putters will be available in lengths of 34, and 35 inch. Shipping will begin in the spring of 2009 and the suggested retail is $199.00.
About STX:
STX is acknowledged as being the golf industry’s foremost authority on insert face technology. Over a quarter century ago, the company introduced the first patented soft face elastomer insert, creating the “softest legal face in golf.” In the mid-90s the company’s research and development team introduced the first USGA approved interchangeable face insert and removable weight system. Both these and other innovations have helped create the standards for putter design today.
Behind the company’s uniquely styled putter heads is Robert “Bob” Engman, STX Putters’ Chief Club Designer. A world-renowned sculptor with works in the Hirshhorn Museum, the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, Bob is also a three-time senior champion at Merion Golf Club in Philadelphia.
When Bob blends his skills with the STX engineers, the resulting putter design is a true work of art featuring face insert technology and the ultimate in performance.
