STX PUTTERS ENVISIONS GREATNESS FOR THE ENVISION
BALTIMORE, MD., December 5, 2003 — STX Putters, the world leader in face insert technology, has advanced its genre to a new level with the introduction of the Envision, a putter that combines supreme functionality with artistic beauty.
Laura LeMire, General Manager for STX Putters, says, "We envision great things from the Envision. It gives golfers all the attributes they're seeking in a putter — improved feel, accuracy, consistency, distance control, and visual appeal."
The Envision's function is as a face balanced, center/rear-weighted putter, designed to give golfers the joy and satisfaction they're seeking on the greens. Its form is as a piece of sculpture, ardently created by a master artist with a passion for golf. As legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright might say, this is a very spiritual union.
"The concept initiated from the basic principals of our Tour winning Sync Tour putter," says Jeff Matheson, Global Sales Manager for STX Putters. "The design allows us to place more weight further back, thereby lowering the center of gravity and increasing the moment of inertia of the putter."
"It looks like a sculpture with all the benefits and features of a premium putter," says LeMire. "The Envision is fluid and open in contrast to traditionally designed putters. It has a look that is very aesthetically pleasing. The Envision's unique design also creates an excellent alignment aid for golfers through its combination of sight lines on the front and back of the putter, and the ball shaped opening."
"The Envision has a very solid feel to it," says LeMire. "It's a smooth stroking putter and very consistent."
The Envision is the first putter in STX's "Impressionist Series by Bob Engman." Mr. Engman, a world-renowned sculptor, is also the Chief Club Designer for STX Putters. Earlier in his career, Engman was the Chairman of the sculpture department at Yale, and the Dean of the art school at Penn. Engman is also a 6-handicap at Merion Golf Club, where he's a two-time senior champion.
Put the concept of a new putter in his mind, and his hands, and there's magic.
