PrideSports Captures The Cleat Field At The PGA TOUR’s FBR Open As Nearly 70% Of The Field, Including 22 Of The Top 35 Finishers, Utilized PrideSports Products
Brentwood, Tennessee, February 2, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, captured its 4th PGA TOUR event of 2009, while dominating the cleat field at this weekend’s FBR Open. Nearly 70% of the plastic and metal wearing cleat field, including a remarkable 22 of the top 35 finishers, utilized the Company’s stable of products including the Pulsar™ and Black Widow™ models.
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 FBR 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.
“Winning the FBR Open marks four straight wins in 2009 for PrideSports and our stable of products, including the Softspikes brand,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “With the recent launch of our new Black Widow Tour™ cleat, and its pending debut on the PGA TOUR, we expect our weekly leaderboard domination to go to an even higher level in 2009.”
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.
