Brentwood, Tennessee, October 13, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® Pulsar™ cleats, the #1 cleat on TOUR, had another weekend sweep in professional golf, as Pulsar captured the cleat count at the PGA TOUR’s Texas Valero Open, while earning victories at the Champions Tour’s Constellation Energy Player Championship and the LPGA’s Longs Drugs Challenge. Overall, PrideSports captured the weekend cleat count across all of the professional golf tours, while also winning the Nationwide Tour’s WNB Golf Classic.
Complementing Pulsar’s weekend success at the Texas Valero Open, dominated the overall cleat count with 75% of the plastic and metal wearing field utilizing the Company’s stable of products. Furthermore, PrideSports dominated the cleat field at the Champions Tour’s Constellation Energy Player Championship with 80% player usage.
Moreover, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in nearly 85% of the shoes worn by players during the PGA TOUR’s Texas Valero 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.
“Pulsar had no equal this past weekend on Tour,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “In leading the PrideSports stable of products, Pulsar not only dominated the fields, but captured two more big wins for the Softspikes brand.”
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.
