BALTIMORE, MD. – January 17, 2011 – STX Golf, world-renowned as an industry pioneer in putter innovation, and for its patented Soft Face Insert Technology, announced today that the company will be revealing three new STX Sync Series Blades; the SS3, SS4 and SS5 Putters at the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show.
Over the years STX Sync Putters have garnered a reputation for their artistic flare, innovative designs, and state-of-the art technology. The engineers at STX felt strongly they honor these timeless classics yet bring them into the modern era. The team met and surpassed this objective with the entirely new STX Sync Series line of blade putters; the SS3, SS4, and SS5 Putters.
The STX SS3 Putter is a contemporary blade putter that gracefully blends alignment aids with soft curves. This toe down or toe weighted model is heel shafted with a step-less shaft for those golfers with an in to out putting stroke.
For the golfer who prefers a more traditional blade, the STX SS4 Putter will inspire their putting. It is visually appealing, particularly at address. To keep the hands forward during the entire putting stroke, the STX SS4 features heel-toe weighting with a plumbers neck hosel.
A flare neck hosel that seamlessly connects the head and shaft makes the SS5 Putter a true standout. This traditionally styled and inspired blade has been designed to slightly keep your hands forward during the stroke. As with the other Sync Series blade putters, the SS5 is toe weighted for those golfers with an in to out or arch type putting stroke.
According to STX Director of Golf Steve Henneman, “We are looking forward to introducing the new Sync Series Blade Collection at the upcoming show and especially at the demo day where attendees can see first hand the true beauty of these putters lie within their performance,” “Our soft face insert cradles the ball three times longer than metal face putters which mean it keeps the ball in contact with the putter longer for better control, less skidding, and a truer roll.”
Each model in the Sync Series Blade Collection features STX and its Soft Insert Technology called “F.E.E.L.” – Friction Enhancing Elastomer Layer. This patented STX technology dramatically increases the coefficient of friction to put a greater amount of topspin on the ball and keep your putts on line. The Soft Face Insert Keeps the ball in contact with the putter longer to also provide superior directional control, decreased ball skid and reduced ball deformation.
The black insert is the softest in the STX line. It delivers the highest friction and resilience rate with 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. For golfers who prefer a firmer feel, the green insert provides a harder feel with less resilience.
The three new blades in the Sync Series are available in both 34″ and 35″ in length. All are equipped with step-less shafts, Golf Pride grips, and an exclusive STX head-cover. The loft specification is 3 degrees and the lie specification is 71 degrees. A distinctive black PVD finish adds to the beauty of these stylish putters. The will begin shipping in January of 2011 with a MSRP of $109.99 and will be showcased at the upcoming 2011 Demo Day and PGA Merchandise Show.
The ninth annual PGA Demo Day will be held on Wednesday, January 26th at the Orange County National Golf Center. STX will be prominently positioned on the large putting green during the entire demo day. The company welcomes all PGA Members, retailers, and members of the media to come by and putt with the new STX SS2 Putter as well as the entire Sync Series.
Within the Orange County Convention Center during the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show, the STX booth #501 is conveniently located in the Equipment Hall on the main aisle just two rows from the Equipment Testing Center. The company will be exhibiting from Thursday, January 27th to Saturday, January 29th.
