Harrington wins British Open in PURE style Last year at Westchester I did an instruction article with Padraig Harrington on the knockdown shot. Knowing he SST PUREd his clubs I asked for his opinion about the process. I’m always interested as to why the best players in the world choose to have SST PURE their clubs. It’s an even more relevant quote today after Harrington’s pressure-packed victory at The Open Championship at Carnoustie on Sunday. “Any time something can improve my game and I don’t have to do anything, I’d be foolish not to PURE my clubs,” said Harrington, who makes sure all his clubs are SST PURE aligned. No advertising slogan could present the SST PURE story any better than that quote by the newly crowned British Open champion. Harrington’s first major was also the first British Open win for an Irishman since 1947, and the first for a European in eight years. Can you only imagine had the win taken place on The Emerald Isle? SST has worked hand in hand with Wilson Golf during the past few years to make sure every club in Harrington’s bag is SST PURE aligned. By orienting the shaft to neutralize the irregularities that cause breakdowns in performance, Harrington can be sure that his equipment will perform when he needs it most. There was no more important time for that than Sunday during Harrington’s nail-biting playoff with Sergio Garcia. “We couldn’t be happier for Padraig for winning his first major championship,” SST founder Dick Weiss said. “We work with many players around the world, and Padraig is truly one of the most sincere and hardworking golfers we have met. He deserves this win.” And Harrington’s victory wasn’t the only story for SST PURE at Carnoustie. How about Steve Stricker, who began SST PUREing his clubs a few years ago when his once promising career looked to be just about over. A factor in every major this year, Stricker fired a Carnoustie record 64 on Saturday which put him in Sunday’s final group and an ultimate top-10 finish. SST also had strong results from Ernie Els (fourth), K.J. Choi (T8), Mike Weir (T8), Jim Furyk (T12), Justin Rose (T12), and Paul McGinley (T19). This is the second major championship for SST PURE this year. Angel Cabrera won the U.S. Open last month on an almost impossible Oakmont course. What a year for SST PURE. The players who have had their shafts SST PUREd in SST PURE Shaft Alignment Lab that represents the ultimate step in performance have now won 15 times, including the major championships of the United States and Great Britain. SST does not manufacture equipment. Instead, the computerized SST PURE process analyzes the structure of any golf shaft and locates it most stable orientation. Installing the shaft in this orientation eliminates unwanted bending and twisting during the golf swing.
