Harrington Wins Deutsche Bank-SAP Open with SST PURE®
May 19, 2003
MIAMI — Padraig Harrington, one of the PGA TOUR’s most outspoken proponents of SST PURE® shaft alignment technology, won the Deutsche Bank-SAP Open TPC of Europe this weekend. Harrington once again demonstrated that reliable shaft performance and consistent shotmaking is the key to winning as he claimed his second European PGA Tour win of the 2003 season.
“Repeatability in shotmaking is essential to true game improvement, and Padraig’s consistentcy with SST PUREd shafts is a great example of how minimizing off-line shaft bending and maximizing shaft performance is a winning combination,” says Dick Weiss of Strategic Shaft Technologies, LC, founder of the SST PURE shaft alignment process. “We are very excited for Padraig, and we are glad SST PURE is helping him establish a winning tradition on the PGA and European Tours.”
Harrington is one of more than 180 PGA Tour players who have utilized SST PURE®, the PGA Tour’s only shaft-alignment process deemed in compliance with USGA standards. 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 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 up to 51 percent. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts — steel or graphite — from most major manufacturers.
Headquartered in Miami, Strategic Shaft Technologies, LC, was founded by clubmaker Dick Weiss, who was the creator of the SST PURE® process. The patented SST PURE process of club assembly — deemed in compliance with USGA standards — uses proprietary computer analysis to locate each shaft’s irregularities and aligns the shaft to neutralize them, so that each club bends in the direction it should — straight down the target line.
