(MARLBOROUGH, MA) – CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide – The World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology® and maker of innovative CHAMP spikes, high-performance grips, golf tees and accessories – announces the winner of the 2015 John Deere Classic relied on its renowned spikes with new SLIM-Lok technology.
The 21-year-old reigning Masters and U.S. Open champion captured his seventh professional victory while wearing the new Zarma Tour® spike, coupled with the revolutionary SLIM-Lok fastening system, in his Drive One Golf Shoe from Under Armour®. With SLIM-Lok, shoe manufacturers are able to create significantly lighter, stronger and lower-profile designs, allowing golfers to get closer to the turf for improved stability, feel and balance throughout the swing.
“Our SLIM-Lok system increases foot comfort, boosts traction and improves spike retention all while reducing shoe weight for the player,” says Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. “Golfers of every level will enjoy the enhanced feel and performance gains realized from this revolutionary footwear technology.”
All SLIM-Lok equipped spikes are compatible with the millions of TRI-Lok® and Fast Twist® shoes already in the marketplace. This system also greatly simplifies the spike changing process while virtually eliminating the risk of spike loss during rounds. An exclusive CHAMP technology, SLIM-Lok is trusted by scores of leading OEMs – including ECCO®, New Balance®, Nike®, OGIO®, TRUE Linkswear™ and Under Armour®
The #1 Brand on Tour®, CHAMP spikes have been used by 37 of the past 50 major champions, including the reigning Open and PGA champion as well as this year’s Masters and U.S. Open victor.
