SST PURE Receives Rave Reviews for New Automated Machine
October 16, 2008
JUPITER, Fla. — Strategic Shaft Technologies, LC, makers of the world’s leading shaft alignment technology, unveiled its new automated machine to unanimously favorable reviews at the recent Golf Clubmakers Association meeting held at Golfsmith headquarters in Austin, Texas.
“This new machine is a real winner,” exclaimed Jeff Sheets, long-time head of R&D at Golfsmith. “The ability to run multiple shaft tests like PURE alignment, shaft torque and 360-degree frequency all within a matter of seconds will really make this machine extremely popular with the best custom clubfitters and now it’s a machine that OEM’s should seriously consider,” he added. Golfsmith placed orders for new SST machines on the spot after seeing the capabilities and speed in which the tests can be performed.
In his keynote address to a packed room of clubmakers from around the world, Dick Weiss, founder of the SST PURE technology and holder of dozens of patents on the system, said that a decade of shaft analysis work confirms that PURE technology represents the only truly precise and repeatable method for determining optimal shaft performance.
“Our new automated machine represents the successful culmination of years of research into shaft analysis and our desire to find a way to not only speed up the process of PUREing, but also to discover other shaft characteristics that have in the past been difficult to test because the technology did not exist to do so,” added Weiss.
“We are using laser and smart motor technology that just five years ago wasn’t around, so this machine has incorporated the very latest methods to bring clubfitters, shaft manufacturers and OEM’s a level of sophistication and precision never seen before,” he concluded.
“As the recipient of the 2007 Clubmaker of the Year award, I can see how this new machine can generate substantial incremental business for me by being able to offer PUREing to my clientele, stated Rey Erickson.
A number of the world’s leading shaft manufacturers were also in attendance for SST’s presentation, including UST, Graphite Design and Aldila. Afterwards, Chris Hilleary, owner of Aerotech and makers of the SteelFiber line of shafts said, “It’s impossible to make a perfectly symmetrical product and thus, we never discourage golfers from utilizing the PURE system of shaft alignment. PURE alignment can give the player more confidence.”
SST plans to unveil the final version of the machine at the upcoming PGA Show in Orlando in January and Gary Sheppard, SST’s Director of Global Business Development, reports that pre-orders are already being written to reserve the new machine for delivery in early 2009 including orders from Hot Stix, Nicklaus Performance Solutions, Cool Clubs, Fuzion Golf, Henry-Griffitts, Golf Science Center in Australia and TopGolf in Indonesia to name a few.
Using proprietary computer software and sensitive data-acquisition sensors, the SST PURE® shaft alignment process analyzes the structural irregularities that exist to some degree in every golf shaft and locates the shaft’s most stable orientation. By assembling the club with the shaft in its SST PURE® orientation, off-line bending and twisting of the shaft are minimized and impact repeatability on the center of the clubface by the golfer improves by up to 51 percent. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts — steel or graphite — from all major manufacturers. SST PURE has also been named one of golf’s all-time Top 25 equipment developments by Golf International Magazine.
In addition to dominating the marketplace, SST PURE also dominates on the PGA Tour. In 2008, SST PUREd players totaled more than $125 million in combined winnings.
