8 Out Of The Top 10 Leading Golf Shoe Companies Utilize #1 Golf Cleat Insert System As Original Equipment
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (May 22, 2006) – Pride Sports today reported that the Company’s patented Fast-Twist(TM) Insert System, the #1 System of Choice by Golf Footwear Manufacturers, is now worn by over 75% of the players on the PGA TOUR.
The Company also reports that 8 out of the top 10 leading golf shoe companies utilize the revolutionary golf cleat insert system as original equipment, including market leader FootJoy, as well as adidas, Bite, Bridgestone, Callaway, ECCO, Etonic and Oakley.
"A majority of golfers, both amateurs and professionals, utilize the Fast-Twist System today, making it one of golf’s most important product developments in many years," said Rick Oleksyk, President, Pride Sports. "This system has revolutionized the golf shoe industry and it has become as important to the golf cleat market as the invention of the Softspikes-brand itself."
The Fast-Twist Insert System, which is the lightest weight cleat changing system in golf, was designed to make cleat changing quick and easy, and more user friendly than conventional threaded cleats. A simple quarter turn of a cleat wrench deadlocks cleats into place with a double click, while a reverse quarter turn unlocks the cleats for quick changing. A patented "positive stop" lets golfers know when the cleat is fully installed.
PrideSports was formed in January 2003, following Pride Manufacturing Company’s purchase of Softspikes, Inc., and its sister company Trisport, Ltd. of England. This acquisition essentially formed the world’s premier golf accessories company, as the Professional Tee System(TM) and Softspikes(R) are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, PrideSports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
