SST PURE® Licenses Golf Etc. in Houston

Strategic Shaft Technologies signs up Golf Etc. Clear Lake as its newest SST PURE licensee.

MIAMI FL (PRWEB) November 13, 2003 -- Strategic Shaft Technologies welcomes Golf Etc. Clear Lake (Texas) as the newest licensee to offer SST PURE®, the leading shaft-alignment process on the PGA Tour. The Golf Etc. location in Houston joins the nearly two dozen and growing SST PURE licensees around the world.

Were pleased to have Golf Etc. Clear Lake join our network of licensed SST PURE facilities," says Dick Weiss of Strategic Shaft Technologies, founder of the SST PURE shaft alignment process. The owner of Golf Etc. Clear Lake, Russell Lavigne, is a veteran custom clubmaker. Russell and his associates have demonstrated their steadfast commitment to quality custom clubfitting by making the SST PURE process of shaft alignment and assembly an integral part of producing golf clubs which provide the ultimate in game-enhancing performance."

Golf Etc. Clear Lake is a comprehensive one-stop shop carrying pro-line clubs, balls, gloves, bags, high-performance golf shafts, including Fujikura and Kirk Currie professional putters. Owned and operated by accredited clubmaker Lavigne, Golf Etc. Clear Lake also offers complete custom fitting services and hosts experienced club-builders and PGA instructors on premises to help build the most technologically advanced, best-fitting set of clubs available anywhere in the Houston area.

I wanted my store to be the most innovative and technologically advanced store possible. And the only thing that would allow me to achieve that goal was to have the SST PURE shaft-alignment system in my shop," says Lavigne. Of course, we have launch monitors which measure everything from launch angle to ball spin rate, and we have a True Temper Shaft Lab. But the SST PURE shaft analysis system was essential for me to set up my shop as being far and above every other shop around."

To date, more than 180 PGA TOUR players have embraced 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 shafts 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 shafts 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.
