Pulsar Captures Victory As Softspikes-Brand Cleats Outdistance The Competition By 3-to-1 Margin; Despite Torrential Rain, Twice As Many Players Wore Softspikes-Brand Cleats As Metal Spikes
Gaithersburg, Maryland, June 27, 2006 … Softspikes®, made by PrideSports, the world’s leading cleat company, truly showed its mettle this past weekend in dominating the field at the rain-soaked Booz Allen Classic, as the winner, wearing Pulsar cleats, and six of the top ten players, wore Softspikes-brand cleats â?¦ the #1 Cleat on TOUR.
Despite days of torrential rain, twice as many players in the field wore Softspikes cleats over metal spikes, while Softspikes outdistanced its competition by a 3-to-1 margin in player usage.
"If there was ever an event where a player would even consider wearing metal spikes it would be the Booz Allen Classic, as the course was drenched with rain-water," said Rick Oleksyk, President, PrideSports. "However, the traction features of Softspikes continued to ring true as a majority of the players chose our brand. This says it all for Softspikes’ performance capabilities, especially against metal spikes."
Pulsar by Softspikes features the Company’s proprietary Reactive Comfort Technologyâ?¢. Through this technology, Pulsar delivers maximum comfort and performance via a 16 component design that reacts to every angle of force exerted by the golfer. As part of this design, flexor knuckles placed at the flex point on each of Pulsar’s eight legs offers enhanced strength, responsiveness and more than twice the flexibility of any cleat on the market. In addition, reinforced arched webbing between each of Pulsar’s legs delivers instant energy return every time the cleat is compressed. As a result, all of these features combine to produce a cleat offering unmatched stability and comfort.
Softspikes is a division of Pride Sports, which 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 Pride and Softspikes are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, Pride Sports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
