JUPITER, Fla. — Strategic Shaft Technologies, L.C. announced today the addition of Nakashima Golf (www.nakashimagolf.com), based in Stockton, Calif., as its newest licensee to provide game-enhancing SST PURE shaft alignment technology. Nakashima Golf is a premium custom golf equipment manufacturer providing tour-quality, tour-grade, totally-adjustable equipment to all golfers. Nakashima Golf again sets a new standard of achievement as the company becomes the first USA-based SST licensee to use the new automated PURE SPECS® shaft alignment and analysis system throughout their entire product line.
“Adding Nakashima Golf as our newest licensee was the culmination of several years of careful planning and technological achievement to develop automated machinery capable of delivering a PURE alignment system to high volume OEM clients,” stated Gary Sheppard, Director of Global Business Development for SST. “We worked with John Nakashima, the founder of Nakashima Golf and his team to create a system of shaft alignment that would work in perfect harmony with its removable hosel technology and we are pleased that the developmental work has been so successful.”
Nakashima Golf is amongst the world leaders in custom golf club design and a leading manufacturer of an extensive line of Totally Adjustable proprietary Nakashima brand drivers, fairway woods and utility clubs. Its head office and manufacturing facility is situated in Stockton, CA where it also operates a fitting studio as well as another corporate-owned studio in San Jose, Calif. Certified Nakashima Fitting Studios are found in Pasadena and Sherman Oaks, Calif., and Certified Studios are located as far away as Singapore and Hong Kong. “We developed the first removable hosel driver to be placed on the USGA list of conforming driver heads,” stated John Nakashima, the company’s Founder and President. “Adding automated SST PURE SPECS alignment to all of our Nakashima Golf equipment line once again raises the bar and establishes our company as the first golf equipment manufacturer to use the new automated equipment. Our slogan has always been ‘It doesn’t get any Better!’ and we believe that same core value has been further enhanced with the addition of PURE alignment.”
“It’s a significant validation of our process to have such a prestigious manufacturer of golf clubs represented by the Nakashima brand now providing all of their equipment with PURE technology,” says Dick Weiss, Managing Member of Strategic Shaft Technologies, L.C., and founder of the SST PURE shaft alignment process. Nakashima Golf is ideally suited to take advantage of the automated system we developed due to its ability to PURE align shafts as well as measure torque and shaft straightness in a matter of seconds. These new parameters of measurement can take shaft analysis to even greater levels of accuracy and speed.
The patented SST PURE® Shaft Alignment System currently is used by more than 200 professional golfers on the PGA, Champions and European Tours. 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 measurably. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts – steel or graphite – from all major manufacturers.
Nakashima Golf joins more than 60 licensed SST PURE distributors in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Other golf facilities or custom clubmakers which are interested in offering SST PURE shaft alignment technology to their customers should contact Gary Sheppard at 817.966.0908 or gary@sstpure.com.
