BRENTWOOD, Tenn., November 28, 2011 … Softspikes®/PrideSports, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, took the title at the Australian PGA Championship with the new Cyclone cleat. This win marks Cyclone’s 17th victory during its first season on Tour. The second and third finishers also donned PrideSports’ PINS insert system.
Cyclone, Softspikes’ newest cleat, has surpassed any other Softspikes cleat for the most successful launch. In its first year on Tour, Cyclone has seen more than 70 Top 5 and more than 250 Top 30 finishes. Expanding Softspikes’ cleat offering, Cyclone has become one of the top cleat choices for PGA Tour players.
“The Australian PGA Championship was another successful event for Softspikes,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Sweeping the leaderboard once again proves our cleats perform as promised.”
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.
