What's a 200% improvement? Is that the same as a 200% discount
on a pair of shoes?
Happy New Year,

TEXAS COURT RULES in Philip Talamonti versus SST &
Richard Weiss
The Woodlands, TX - December 30, 2002 - An
order was entered this past week by a Texas State Court Judge in a 2001
lawsuit filed by Philip Talamonti against Richard Weiss and Strategic Shaft
Technologies, LC. Among other things, the Court's order states that Advanced
Shaft Dynamics, Ltd. and its principal, Philip Talamonti, may compete directly
with SST in all markets. ASD will now expand its service offering to include
providing ASD's PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING(TM) process as a
retrofit option using a players existing golf shafts. ASD had already been
performing its golf shaft analysis and orientation process on new golf shafts
for assembly (both steel and graphite) in accordance with a prior Court order
dating back to April 2002 and will continue to do so.
The Court
further ordered that ASD and Talamonti may do unrestricted business with
anyone in the market, including those licensees of SST who were or became
licensees during Talamonti's tenure as SST's President, provided those parties
first terminate or otherwise discontinue their licensing relationships with
SST.
In a separate matter coming out of last week's hearings, the Court
also granted Talamonti's motion for partial summary judgment against Weiss
relating to alleged business disparagement claims. The Court found that Weiss
and SST provided no evidence to support such claims against
Talamonti.
"Mr. Weiss has been attempting to use the Court to apply
pressure and create noncompete restrictions against me and my company to which
he is not entitled. The Court's rulings are very satisfying, even more so as I
have become increasingly aware of the erroneous information that was being
used to mislead the market regarding my ability to do business," said
Talamonti. "We are thankful that our prayers were answered and that the Judge
ruled as he did on these baseless claims and false allegations."
ASD
established an "Authorized Dealer" Network that has already been assembling
new "PEAKED(TM)" shafts in the market. A program involving
disassembly and "PEAKING(TM)" using a players existing set
of shafts will now be added. ASD is also in discussions with golf shaft
manufacturers and equipment companies who have expressed interest in
incorporating ASD's technology into their new product offerings.
ASD
possesses a patent-pending golf shaft analysis technology and equipment that
inventor and company founder Talamonti claims is vastly superior to any other
process offered in the marketplace. Talamonti remarks, "It's no secret that
most experienced clubmakers have been 'twanging' or deflecting shafts to find
a visual Flat Line Oscillation ("FLO") plane prior to club assembly. That
procedure has been used for decades. In fact, one company has been
aggressively marketing what amounts to an electronic version of this age old
method. 'FLO' analysis may have some legitimacy in analyzing fishing rods
(where the technique was first used) since that sport involves unidirectional
'load' and motion lacking torque or rotation. However, the golf swing involves
a completely different set of dynamics. There is simply no scientific
information I am aware of to support 'FLO' as an appropriate golf shaft
analysis methodology."
ASD has significant independent test data to
support its own technology claims. In testing, golf clubs incorporating ASD's
PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING(TM) process have shown
improvements in golf shot accuracy of over 200 percent. ASD intends to make
its eye-opening test results available soon through a major golf
publication.
