SST PURE® shaft alignment is used by more than 200 professional golfers on the PGA, Champions and European Tours. Players on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour in 2008 recorded 37 wins and earnings in excess of $135,000,000.
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 of the shaft 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.
