BALTIMORE, MD. – June 26, 2012 – STX Golf, world-renowned as an industry pioneer in putter innovation with its patented Soft Face Insert Technology, announced today that the company has been credited with a Top-10 finish at the Nationwide Tour’s Preferred Wichita Open. This tie for ninth place comes two weeks after STX captured a Top-5 finish at the Rex Hospital Open tournament.
According to STX Director of Golf Steve Henneman, “We’re delighted that our SS7 belly putter was used to capture this Top-10 finish. We believe the SS7 belly putter is the best on the market as it combines a specially designed head engineered for Long putters with our ‘FEEL’ – Friction Enhancing Elastomer Layer insert.”
The highly developed SS7 belly putter represents years of ingenuity. STX was the first company to develop a belly or long putter. In 2002, the company had PGA Touring Professional Scott McCarron on staff who earned 1.5 million dollars wielding a STX Sync long putter. Since then, STX has continued to innovate this every growing category and the SS7 proves it.
The SS7 putter features a heavier head with perimeter weighting, perfectly suited for both belly and long length putters. Its wing-like sections add balance with weight. These segments are also designed for an easy, non-drag take away. Optic openings aid with alignment as well as weight distribution. The center shafted SS7 putter head is finished with a distinctive black PVD coating and weighs either 450 grams for the belly or 500 grams for the long. The belly lengths are 41-inches and 43-inches. The SS7 long putter is available in 48-inches and 50-inches.
An 11-under par and final round 65 was attained playing the SS7 at the Wichita Open. It helped this Nationwide Tour player navigate the difficult putting greens at Crestview Country Club as well as the difficult conditions.
