Softspikes/PrideSports worn by 70% of the plastic cleat field at the Shell Houston Open
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., April 3, 2012 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, had a triumphant weekend at both the PGA and LPGA tour events, taking home first place at the LPGA event for the second weekend in a row. In Texas, 70% of the plastic cleat field belonged to Softspikes/PrideSports, with 19 of the top 29 finishers sporting the brand at the Shell Houston Open.
Winning this weekend’s LPGA event was Softspikes’ Pulsar cleat, worn by 5 of the top 7 finishers at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Pulsar offers twice the flexibility of any cleat on the market due to its 16 component design, reacting to every angle of force exerted by the golfer.
“Our Pulsar cleat offers unparalleled comfort and support.” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “It has become a staple on tour event leaderboards and we are confident that it will continue to succeed.”
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.
