Marlborough, MA-January 7, 2008-CHAMP Spikes, the number one brand on Tour, has announced its plans to exhibit at the 2008 PGA Show in Orlando, Florida from January 17-19 and Demo Day at Orange County National on January 16th. Their new and improved spikes, as well as their full line of accessories, can be seen at booth #3941.
New for 2008, CHAMP Spikes has revamped the top-selling men’s Scorpion Stinger™ by improving the overall composition of the spike and solidifying the traction legs through structural improvements. CHAMP used exclusive material and technological advancements for a more supportive spike as the yellow traction legs are thicker, yet softer, for better cushioning and longer lasting performance. The black traction legs have been slightly elongated to help improve both traction and durability, while reducing clogging.
The Ladies Scorpion Stinger™ proves the best can get better. As the only true women’s spike on the market, CHAMP has redesigned this LPGA Tour favorite. CHAMP kept the same tour-tested structure, but adapted the spikes to better fit a ladies shoe by making each spike 15% smaller, to eliminate over crowding of the spikes on the smaller ladies shoes. The new Ladies’ Scorpion Stinger has also undergone a compositional change, reducing the hardness with the same technologies as its male version making it more comfortable to wear.
Additionally, the distinctive pink and white color scheme of CHAMP Spikes worn by PGA and LPGA professionals during Pink on the Links™ in 2007 was so successful, that CHAMP is transitioning those colors to the new Ladies Scorpion Stinger for 2008.
“We’re committed to advancing our traction technology to meet the needs of today’s golfers,” said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. “The easiest and quickest way to improve your golf game is to change your spikes and improve your traction. The improvements we’ve made to the Scorpion Stinger and Ladies’ Scorpion Stinger are designed to significantly strengthen a golfer’s foundation, while allowing them to look and feel great at the same time. Golf’s a lot more fun when your equipment helps you play well.”
