BALTIMORE, MD. – July 25, 2010 – STX, world-renowned as an industry pioneer in putter innovation, and for its patented Soft Face Insert Technology, announced today that the company has garnered another Top-10 finish for the 2010 PGA Tour season at the Reno Tahoe Open.
The prestigious and picturesque Montreux golf course challenged some of the best golfers in the world. Its distinct signature Jack Nicklaus design demands precision putting and one PGA Touring Professional played a STX Envision TR Putter to do exactly that.
His low putting average helped him capture fifth place, his fourth Top-10 finish of the season and a personal best for the year. This American PGA Professional shot a 70, 67, 73, and 70 to take him to 77th on the money list. He also gained 47 Fed Ex points to move him up in the overall standing.
According to STX Director of Golf Steve Henneman, “We take great pride in the success we’re experiencing on tour. Every week a host of professionals rely on our putters to navigate the demanding greens they face. This particular professional has captured multiple Top-10s using our Envision TR, one at the Shell Houston Open, another at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, and one at the Northern Trust Open. We thank him for supporting STX and congratulate him on this top finish!”
The Envision TR Putter is the perfect line extension for Chief Club Designer Bob Engman who continues to fuse form and function. The highly inventive 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.
The Envision TR features STX Soft Face Technology which provides superior directional control, decreased ball skid and reduced ball deformation and compression.
For a variety of responses, the Envision TR is 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.
The 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. The suggested retail for the Envision TR is $159.
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.
