BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 28, 2012 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, topped the leaderboard at the first PGA Tour playoff series event this weekend, as well as being worn by the winners of the LPGA and Web.com Tour events, respectively. Softspikes/PrideSports claimed 61% of the plastic cleat field at The Barclays with 23 of the top 38 finishers wearing the brand. In Knoxville, 33 of the top 31 finishers and ties wore Softspikes/PrideSports, with the winner donning Softspikes’ adjustable Black Widow Tour cleat.
Three generations of Softspikes were showcased this weekend at the Web.com Tour’s Knoxville News Sentinel Open. The winner wore Softspikes’ Black Widow Tour cleat, golf’s only adjustable cleat. This cleat features two comfort settings, Tour-Comfort and Tour-Firm, allowing golfers to select the comfort setting that best fits their game. Two of the three players that tied for second sported Cyclone and Pulsar, both which feature Softspikes’ Dynamic Cleat Technology.
“We’re very proud to offer a line of cleats that Tour players can depend on.” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Whether it’s our newest cleat model or product that we have introduced in years past, we pride ourselves on providing Tour players and amateurs alike with the traction they need to land in the winners circle.”
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.
