What Is Different About STX Putters?
We have been showing you guys a lot of putters on MGS lately…so you might be wondering…why are STX putters any different from every other putter out there? Well this what STX says & feels is different and what sets them apart from the rest of the flatstick makers out there.
1. Control and Accuracy
- How do you throw a baseball with accuracy? You put the ball in fingers and let the ball roll down your fingers and towards the target
- The ball spends a significant amount of time in contact with your hand, that is what gives you control
- If you try to throw a baseball by only holding the ball with just the tips of your fingers you will sacrifice control
- The point is that STX feels that their soft face insert technology will keep the ball in contact with the clubface which they feel will result in added control
- STX also offers the softest legal face in golf
2. Impart topspin
- Everyone is trying to get more topspin on the ball
- It is the topspin that gets the ball rolling sooner and limits the distance that the ball skids or hops
- STX inserts are a proprietary material with a high coefficient of friction (COF)
- The high COF combined with our soft face, grip the ball at impact to impart topspin and get the ball rolling
3. Compression Deflection
- When any club strikes the golf ball the ball deforms and takes the shape of an egg, just for an instant
- After the ball leaves the face it springs back to its original shape
- That spring affect has a direct result on the speed of the golf ball
- STX soft face inserts cradle the ball at impact and do not deform the golf ball for added control
