80 out of 109 Players Choose PrideSports-Brand Cleats With 78% Of The Field Wearing Softspikes
Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 5, 2006 â?¦ As it celebrates 10 consecutive seasons as the #1 Cleat on the PGA TOUR, and backed by 163 PGA TOUR wins, Softspikes® brand cleats, made by PrideSports, the world’s leading cleat company, dominated the field this weekend at Deutsche Bank Championship, held at the Tournament Players Club of Boston, in Norton, Massachusetts. In fact, more than half of the players who wore plastic cleats used PrideSports-manufactured cleats, with 78% of that field wearing the Softspikes-brand cleats.
"As has been the case all season long, Softspikes’ dominance on the PGA TOUR seems highest when the playing conditions require ultimate traction," said Rick Oleksyk, President, PrideSports. "With Pulsar leading the way again, the Softspikes-brand continues to be the cleat of choice on TOUR."
Pulsarâ?¢ by Softspikes® features the Company’s proprietary Reactive Comfort Technologyâ?¢, which 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.
