MIAMI -- SST PURE® congratulates Peter Jacobsen for his win at the Greater Hartford Open. Jacobsen, whose GHO victory was his first win in eight years, was among the earliest PGA TOUR players to adopt SST PURE, the leading shaft-alignment process in professional golf.

“I had been driving along in an old Model T, but after having my clubs aligned by SST, I'm driving down the highway in a brand new Lexus doing 120 mph and feeling like I'm only doing 40,” Jacobsen said after having his clubs PUREd.

To date, more than 175 PGA TOUR players have experienced the benefits of SST PURE shaft alignment technology. 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 — locates 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.

Upon having his shafts SST PURE aligned, a player receives a personalized computer printout confirming the process and an SST PURE shaft label for every shaft that has been PUREd. The SST PURE process of golf shaft alignment is available at SST PURE licensees around the United States and internationally. To locate a licensee near you, call 813-759-6708.
