Cyclone wins again and Softspikes® claimed 16 of the 18 top 25 players in plastic cleats at the HP Byron Nelson Championship
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 31, 2011 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, scored another win with the Cyclone cleat this weekend in Texas. Of the top 25 players this weekend, 18 wore plastic cleats – 16 being Softspikes-brand cleats. The next nearest competitor claimed only 2 spots in the Top 25.
Softspikes’ Cyclone cleat took the Top 2 spots on the leaderboard, prevailing against all other plastic and metal cleats. Cyclone’s top placings contributed to Softpikes’ capture of 89% of the Top 25 players in the plastic cleat field. This cleat has proven to be the most successfully launched Softspikes product since the original BLACK WIDOW.
“This weekend was one of our strongest showings with 16 out of 18 of the Top players choosing Softspikes/PrideSports brand cleats,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Compared to only 2 for the next closest competitor, Softspikes clearly dominated this weekend’s leaderboard.”
Softspikes’ patented Dynamic Cleat Technology allows its cleats to be responsive to all terrains – Tee Boxes, Fairways, Roughs, Greens, etc – providing confidence on every swing of the club. In other words, longer drives, better iron shots and lower scores. For more information on Softspikes, please visit www.softspikes.com.
