RetroPURE: SST PURE Golf Shaft Alignment for the Clubs You Already Own
Mail your assembled clubs to SST PURE. We disassemble each club, analyze the shaft on the patented SST PURE Shaft Alignment System to find its most stable orientation, then rebuild the club in that PURE position with a new grip. The price is $100 per club, including shipping and a new grip, and you will have your clubs back in less than two weeks.
What Retro PUREing is:
Play the secret all the pros know, SST PURE.
We would love you to visit one of our fitters worldwide and experience the process in person, but if that’s not possible, no worries. You can simply follow the directions below and send us your clubs. We will disassemble them, PURE the shafts, and reassemble. In less than two weeks you will have the best feeling set ever, hitting longer and straighter shots and on your way to lower scores!
What Retro PUREing means for your game:
• Up to 7 yards longer
• Up to 1 mph of clubhead speed gain
• Up to 2.8 mph increase in ball speed
• On average 18.9 feet closer to the center line with a 6 iron
• On average 53.3 feet closer to the center line with a driver
• Impact repeatability on the center of the clubface improves up to 51%
How it works:
1. Decide which clubs you want to send us and gain distance and accuracy (Hint: we think all of them).
2. During the SST PURE process we will dissemble your golf club, analyze your shaft with the SST PURE machine and rebuild your club to its original spec unless you specify in the comments of wanting a spec changed (I.e swingweight, tipping, length).
3. A NEW grip is included in the cost. In the Grip box on the Cart page, specify the manufacturer, model, color (if applicable), size and any custom tape preferences.
4. We will return your clubs in the PUREd position and you will receive an email showing how each shaft was rotated in the process.
Things to know:
1. When you PURE a shaft the machine locates the most stable position to install the shaft. The shaft label will most likely not be in the same position as before PUREing. In all steel shafts you can ask us to take the sticker or silk screen off so the shaft has no label, but in graphite the logo cannot be changed and will be located wherever the machine found the optimal position of the shaft.
2. When PUREing a shaft into an adjustable clubhead, please notate the position you will set the adapter so we can install the shaft after PUREing in the proper position for you. If you do change the adapter setting the PURE will be off, but don’t worry you can send it to us and for just the cost of shipping we will reset the shaft in the PUREd position.
3. Once a shaft is PUREd it will never become unPUREd, so don’t worry, you’re just on your way to lower scores for the lifetime of that club.

RetroPURE FAQ
RetroPURE questions, answered
What is RetroPURE?
RetroPURE is SST PURE's service for golf clubs that are already assembled. Each club is disassembled, the shaft is analyzed on the patented SST PURE Shaft Alignment System to find its most stable orientation (the neutral plane), and the club is rebuilt with the shaft installed in that PURE position.
How much does RetroPURE cost?
RetroPURE is $100 per club. The price includes shipping and a new grip. You can also buy 3 clubs and get the 4th free, or buy 9 clubs and get 4 free.
How long does RetroPURE take?
You will have your clubs back in less than two weeks.
How do I send my clubs to SST PURE?
Order the number of clubs you want PUREd on this page and check out. We will email you a shipping label after checkout, so you can send your clubs to us.
Is a new grip included?
Yes. A new grip is included in the price. In the Grip box on the cart page, list the grip manufacturer, model, color (if applicable), size and any custom tape preferences.
Will PUREing change my club specs?
No. We rebuild each club to its original spec unless you note a change you want, such as swingweight, tipping or length, in the cart comments.
Can graphite and steel shafts be PUREd?
Yes. SST PURE can analyze and align both steel and graphite shafts, including stock and aftermarket shafts. On steel shafts we can remove the sticker or silk screen if you ask; on graphite shafts the logo cannot be changed.
Why is the shaft logo in a different position after PUREing?
The PURE orientation is found by measurement, not by the shaft graphics. A manufacturer's logo-up position is rarely the most stable orientation, so after PUREing the label will usually sit in a different position than before.
Can I PURE a shaft in an adjustable driver or fairway wood?
Yes. Tell us the adapter setting you plan to use so we can install the shaft in the PURE position for that setting. If you change the adapter setting later, the PURE orientation will be off, but you can send the club back and we will reset the shaft for just the cost of shipping.
Does a PUREd shaft stay PUREd?
Yes. Once a shaft is PUREd it will not become unPUREd. It stays PUREd for the lifetime of that club.
Has SST PURE been independently tested?
Yes. SST PURE has published independent robot testing by Golf Laboratories, which used a repeatable swing robot and TrackMan to compare the same shaft in its PURE orientation and a suboptimal orientation. Live-golfer testing has also been done by Plugged In Golf. See the full results at sstpure.com/does-sst-pure-work.
Do professional golfers use SST PURE?
Yes. SST PURE has been used on professional tours for many years, and many recognizable Tour players have had their shafts PUREd.
