SST PURE Records Major Weekend with Harrington, Meunier-Lebouc Contact Sally J. Sportsman MIAMI (April 1, 2003) - The SST PURE(R) shaft alignment process demonstrated its versatility this weekend with a second-place finish by Padraig Harrington at THE PLAYERS Championship and a major win at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Harrington, who had a new set of irons PUREd on Tuesday before the tournament, shot rounds of 67-68-70-72 to record his best finish on the PGA TOUR. Harrington first had his clubs PUREd before last year's U.S. Open, where he finished tied for eighth. Since then he has won three times worldwide and has recorded nine top-10 finishes. Patricia Meunier-Lebouc also experienced the benefits of SST PURE last summer when she had her clubs PUREd the week of her inaugural LPGA victory at the State Farm Classic. On Sunday, Meunier-Lebouc won the Kraft Nabisco Championship, holding off world No. 1 Annika Sorenstam down the stretch to record her first major. The SST PURE shaft alignment process works by analyzing the the structural irregularities that exist in any golf shaft. Using proprietary computer software and sensitive data-acquisition sensors, the SST PURE shaft alignment process locates the shaft's most stable orientation and neutralize the adverse effects of those irregularities. When the club is assembled with the shaft in this PUREd orientation, off-line bending and twisting are minimized and impact repeatability on the center of the club face improves up to 51 percent. The process, which has been utilized by over 170 PGA TOUR players, can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts -- steel or graphite -- from most major manufacturers. 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 now overseas.
