MIAMI -- Three of the top six finishers at the Buick Open in Grande Blanc used full sets of SST PURE™ aligned golf shafts.

"It is very gratifying to see the level of success that many of the SST PURE™ players are achieving on TOUR," said Dick Weiss, Founder and CEO of Strategic Shaft Technologies, L.C. (SST). "With so many players on TOUR using our 'PURED' shafts, it has become commonplace to see several SST players' names atop the leaderboard each week."

Strategic Shaft Technologies continues to build upon their stunning and unprecedented level of player acceptance. After attending onlyeight events on the PGA TOUR with its specially designed equipment trailer, SST claims that 50 players on TOUR are using golf clubs that have been "PURED" by the company's revolutionary SST PURE™ shaft alignment process.

SST company officials expect that more than 50 percent of the players on TOUR will be playing SST PURE™ aligned shafts by the end of the 2000 season.

The SST PURE™ shaft alignment process eliminates equipment induced mis-hits.
