BALTIMORE, MD. – October 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 and its line of artistic high performance putters have been recognized for another Top-10 finish at the Frys.com Open.
STX Golf and its Soft Face Insert putters have long been a favorite on the PGA Tour. The square shaped head of the Envision TR Putter helped a STX Professional earn his fifth Top-10 finish of the 2010 PGA Tour season. His steady fourth round action included a two birdie and one eagle putt with the help of his long Envision TR Putter.
According to STX Director of Golf Steve Henneman, “This second generation PGA Tour Professional has been playing the Envision TR Putter for several years thanks to our PGA Tour Representative Mike Neal. He put a prototype in his hands and he became an instant believer.”
The reason why PGA Tour Professionals as well as recreational golfers respond immediately to any of the STX Putters is the Soft Insert Technology. It provides superior directional control, decreased ball skid and reduced ball deformation and compression.
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.
In addition to the superior directional, speed and control of the STX Soft Insert technology the engineers at STX designed the Envision TR with specific weighting perimeters. They distributed the STX Envision TR Putter and its weight further out towards the heel and toe for a higher moment of inertia.
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 geometric shape inspired by Engman provides for an unusual alignment aid. It assists at address but also provides visual assistance throughout the putting stroke.
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.
