Company’s Booth Space to be Expanded for the Second Year in a Row
Brentwood, TN, November 3, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling golf cleat brand, and Pride Golf Tee®, the world’s leading producer of wooden golf tees & the #1 Golf Tee on Tour, today announced that the Company will be expanding its booth space for the second year in a row at the 57th PGA Merchandise Show, taking place Jan. 28-30, 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. On the heels of a successful year for both Softspikes and Pride Golf Tee, despite an overall down year for the golf industry, PrideSports will be debuting a series of product innovations and line extensions for 2010.
“The overwhelming success of our new Black Widow® Tour™ golf cleat, complemented by the launch of several new Softspikes line extensions, such as the Golf Ball Alignment Tool™ and Softspikes® Push Tool™, which have far exceeded our expectations, really expedited our efforts to continue developing innovative products that meet today’s golfer demands,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “From both a Softspikes and Pride Golf Tee perspective, as well as some interesting new advanced technology developments, we will have a much larger presence at the 2010 PGA Show and expect a very positive response to our new products from the golf industry.”
PrideSports is coming off a banner 2009 golf season, where the Company unveiled a series of unique product innovations, including the launch of the Company’s first new cleat in five years, the Black Widow® Tour™. The game’s first adjustable golf cleat, Black Widow® Tour™ received rave reviews among players on all of the professional tours, while capturing several wins, including a PGA Championship victory and multiple top 10 finishes. 2009 also marked the debut of several new products in the Softspikes accessory arsenal that have enjoyed strong success among players at all levels. From the Golf Ball Alignment Tool™, the only tool that marks both sides of the ball, to the ClubGrip™, which meets USGA specifications, to the golf green-saving Softspikes® Push Tool™, Softspikes now has a full-line of accessories that help make the game better for all golfers.
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.
