SST PURE®

MIAMI -- Christina Kim delivered a victory for both SST PURE shaft alignment and Henry-Griffitts clubs last weekend with her win at the LPGA Longs Drugs Challenge. Kim, who started the day in third place, shot a final round 6-under-par 65 for a four-day total of 18-under-par 266 and her first LPGA win.

Kim’s clubs were PUREd by Henry-Griffitts, the largest custom clubmaker in the nation and an SST PURE licensee.

“We are thrilled by Christina’s play lately, and to see her use Henry-Griffitts clubs on her way to the winner’s circle was terrific,” Henry-Griffitts President Jim Hofmeister said.

Kim had been building toward this victory, with four top-15 finishes in the past month, including a solo second at the State Farm Classic.

"Christina Kim is obviously a rising star on the LPGA Tour," SST founder Dick Weiss said. "She is yet another testament of the benefits of SST PURE shaft alignment for all players."

More than 200 professional golfers on tours around the world have experienced the benefits of SST PURE shaft alignment. 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.
