Champ Selected As Official Spike And Tee Of The 2015 World Long Drive Championship

October 9, 2015

Market Leader’s Renowned Products Preferred by Majority of Competitors

(MARLBOROUGH, MA) – CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide – The World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology® and maker of innovative CHAMP spikes, high-performance golf grips, tees and accessories – has been selected as the official Spike and Tee provider to the Long Drivers of America (LDA) and will be outfitting participants in next week’s World Long Drive Championship with its popular products.

Among the CHAMP accessories that will be in use at the event are the Zarma Tour and soon-to-be-released PiviX spikes, both of which provide maximum comfort, traction and stability to all levels of players. Additionally, the renowned Zarma FLYtee™ is the preferred tee of a number of LDA athletes, as its six-pronged head and shallow cup reduce friction at impact for increased distance and accuracy. The FLYtee line has rapidly become favored by both consumers and retailers because of its performance and durability characteristics.

Outside of its spikes and tees, multiple competitors are set to contend for the 2015 title using the company’s “C Grips” on their drivers. Designed with a strong emphasis on technical innovation and game-improving performance, the collection has gained a loyal following among players who recognize its superior feel, durability and performance characteristics.

“Each CHAMP spike model provides LDA athletes the mental assurance that no matter how hard they swing, traction won’t be a problem,” says Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. “Additionally, our FLYtee is engineered to give all golfers a better chance of hitting longer, straighter shots compared to traditional wooden offerings and other alternatives.”

The 2015 World Long Drive Championships will be held at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma, October 14-21. Golf Channel will broadcast live coverage of the new exciting match-play format from 9-11pm EST on both Tuesday, October 20 and Wednesday, October 21.

The #1 Brand on Tour®, CHAMP spikes have been used by 38 of the past 51 major champions, including the reigning Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and FedExCup winners.
