Softspikes Cleats Landed at Top of Leaderboards on PGA and Champions Tours
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 29, 2011 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, claimed victories once again on the PGA and Champions Tours. The Barclays top finisher chose PrideSports’ PINS, Performance INsert System. Beyond that, 65% of the plastic cleat field was donning Softspikes-brand cleats. Additionally at the Boeing Classic, 2 of the Top 3 finishers were wearing the brand, including another Win for Softspikes’ Pulsar cleat.
PINS was developed in 2009 in response to the request for a thinner insert system to bring golfers closer to the ground. Since then, numerous brands and players have adopted to this system to develop a more consistent swing.
“Softspikes has definitely had a strong year both on and off Tour,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Continuing to see our cleats on the leaderboards is proof that our products speak for themselves.”
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.
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.
