Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 20, 2006 â?¦ As it celebrates 10 consecutive seasons as the #1 Cleat on the PGA TOUR, Softspikes® brand cleats, made by PrideSports, the world’s leading cleat company, captured the 84 Lumber Classic held in Farmington, PA this past weekend, marking its 164th PGA TOUR victory. In addition, four of the top five finishers wore Softspikes®, and more than half the players choosing to wear plastic cleats over the conventional metal spikes choose Softspikes® brand cleats.
"It is extremely rewarding to have the winner and four out of the top five finishers wearing our product," said Rick Oleksyk, President, PrideSports. "This success, combined with Pulsar’s continued dominance on the PGA TOUR, speaks volumes about the performance characteristics of Softspikes®-brand cleats"
Pulsarâ?¢ 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.
