The Pure by SPYY is a Jonathan Robinson signature series return top. Like his innovative style it is packed with plenty of innovation. Namely, it has flush mounted aluminum side caps that are permanently affixed to it. This gives the Pure the appearance of being a solid piece of aluminum. It also has an interesting anodization design; in which the gap area is anodized, but the rims and sides were left raw. While the general retail release of the Pure featured a blue anodized profile and polished rims, there was also an exclusive collector's edition that was also produced with a 24 karat gold coating. Along with that, there is a VSOP edition distributed at the 2009 Bay Area Classic, and had a blasted finish, polished side caps and a gold pad-printed logo.
The Pure was eventually discontinued due to the difficulty in manufacturing it.
