Company’s Overall Stable of Products, Including Softspikes® Cleats And The Fast-Twist? Insert System, Dominate Player Usage At 2008 U. S. Open
Brentwood, Tennessee, June 16, 2008 … The 2008 U.S. Open marked the 46th straight Major Championship where the majority of the field utilized PrideSports’ stable of products, including Softspikes-brand golf cleats and the patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System, the most trusted Insert System on Tour.
In fact, more than 70% of the field that chose to wear plastic cleats during the 2008 U.S. Open, including a majority of the Top 10 finishers, wore PrideSports products, including Pulsar™, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, and Black Widow™, golf’s all-time best selling cleat.
In addition to the Company’s cleat domination, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in more than 80% of the shoes worn by players during the 2008 U.S. Open. The #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, Fast-Twist is the overwhelming choice by golf footwear manufacturers, as 8 out of the top 10 leading companies utilize the revolutionary golf cleat insert system as original equipment, including market leader FootJoy, as well as adidas, Bite, Bridgestone, Callaway, Etonic and Oakley.
“Softspikes record of domination in golf majors is unmatched, and we are extremely proud of the overall usage numbers for the 2008 U.S. Open,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “From the top of the leader board, right through the entire field, players continually choose PrideSports products.”
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.
