“Driving Accuracy” Leaders Choose PrideSports Plastic Cleats For Best Traction; 2008 Player’s Championship Runner-Up Among Top 10 Leaders To Wear Softspikes’ Pulsar Cleats
Brentwood, Tennessee, May 13, 2008 … On the heels of The Player’s Championship, where the 2008 runner-up donned Softspikes’ Pulsar™ cleats, the #1 cleat brand on TOUR, PrideSports has reported that year-to-date, the Company’s stable of plastic cleat offerings are worn by more than 70% of the Top 50 PGA TOUR leaders in driving accuracy. Within this key statistical category, which is a true benchmark for proper traction, 6 of the Top 10 leaders, including the 2008 Player’s Championship runner-up, wear Softspikes’ Pulsar cleats, specifically.
“More PGA TOUR professionals rely on PrideSports’ Softspikes cleats for comfort, traction and performance than all other plastic cleat competitors combined,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “In fact, Softspikes are chosen by a majority of the leaders in all performance categories tracked by the PGA TOUR.”
Among the Top 50 leaders in driving accuracy, statistics show that Pulsar cleats are worn at a ratio of more than 2-1 over the next nearest plastic cleat competitor. Further, Pulsar cleats are also used at a ratio of more than 2-1 over metal spikes, despite the fact that players can choose plastic or metal spikes in competition.
Zeller adds, “Traction off the tee is essential and to have PrideSports plastic cleats, lead by Softspikes Pulsar, completely dominate the Top 50 leaders in driving accuracy on the PGA TOUR is pretty impressive.”
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 Pride and Softspikes 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.
