Brentwood, Tennessee, May 4, 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, captured a victory at this weekend’s Quail Hollow Championship as the winner and 58% of the plastic cleat field donned Softspikes Pulsar® cleats, the #1 Cleat on Tour. Additionally, an impressive 74% of the plastic cleat field at Quail Hollow wore Softspikes brand cleats.
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 TOUR’s Quail Hollow Championship. 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.
“Quail Hollow is recognized as one of the most difficult courses on the PGA TOUR, and to know that our cleats helped the winner tackle the challenging layout, further authenticates the performance and reliability of our products,” said John Hohman, Director of Marketing, PrideSports.
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.
