BALTIMORE, MD. – August 24, 2011 – STX Golf, world-renowned as an industry pioneer in putter innovation, and for its patented Soft Face Insert Technology, announced today that their customizable ProFIT 4 & 5 Putters have been updated with new design elements and a distinctive black finish.
The STX ProFIT 4 & 5 Putters resemble a classically inspired blade putter but are accented with contemporary hardware and feature the STX patented interchangeable insert technology. This dynamic combination creates a modern look and the new non-glare dramatic black finish enhances these artistic putters.
“The design team did a great job choosing the exact finish and adding subtle design elements to enhance the look of the ProFIT line. The new black finish compliments the overall style of the putters perfectly,” stated STX Director of Golf Steve Henneman.
In addition to the ProFIT’s exceptional aesthetics, both the STX ProFIT 4 & 5 Putters include the STX interchangeable face and weight technology, a highly developed system that provides for quick and easy weighting and face adjustments. This innovative feature allows the golfer to customize or control the putter head and speed according to preferences and course conditions.
The STX ProFIT 4 & 5 putters were developed for the golfer who would like to fully customize their putter’s feel and response. The “softest” black insert comes equipped on both, the medium resilient red insert and firmer green insert are fully compatible and sold separately. The ProFIT 4 putter is designed with a plumber’s neck hosel while the ProFIT 5 offers a flare neck design, and both models feature 3 degrees of loft with a 71 degree lie angle. STX’s exclusive black and white Golf Pride grip adds to the ProFIT’s overall look and feel. Suggested retail is $199.99 and is available in both right and left hand models.
For a variety of responses and feel, STX Putters are available with black, red and green insert options. 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 golfers that prefer a harder feel. And, for golfers who prefer the feel of a steel putter, the green insert provides a harder feel with less resilience
Testing shows STX Putters have almost twice the dwell time of putters with harder inserts and nearly three times the dwell time of metal faced putters. The difference is due to the high coefficient of friction (COF) that is chemically engineered into each STX insert. The high COF results in unequaled precision on the greens. STX inserts also provide the signature STX “Feel”, which holds the ball on the face longer to impart topspin and improve the feel of the putter.
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 insert, creating the “softest legal face in golf.”
Following this advancement, the company 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.
