Winner and 68% of the PGA TOUR’s Plastic Cleat Field Choose PrideSports Products; 30 of Top 32 Finishers on Nationwide Tour Wore PrideSports & Softspikes
Brentwood, Tennessee, April 20, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand, and Fast-Twist® – the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, crushed the competition this weekend on Tour, as the winner and 68% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Verizon Heritage wore products from PrideSports and Softspikes, the #1 Cleat on Tour.
Equally impressive, PrideSports also dominated on the Nationwide Tour, as 30 of the top 32 finishers at the Athens Regional Foundation Classic utilized the Company’s arsenal of products.
“On the heels of winning another Major, with a great showing at the Masters, we are excited to continue our dominance in regular Tour events, on both the PGA TOUR and the Nationwide Tour,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “With so many players atop the weekly leaderboards wearing our products, including all of the Softspikes models in our line, we are very confident in the performance of our products, as they are the choice among the game’s best players.”
In addition to the Company’s cleat domination, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist® Insert System was featured in over 80% of the shoes worn by players during the PGA Verizon Heritage. 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.
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.
