After more than a decade, Softspikes® remains a phenomenon in golf and stand as one of the game’s most innovative products ever …backed by Pulsar™ cleats – the #1 cleat on TOUR, and Black Widow™ – the #1 selling golf cleat in the world. In fact, in the history of golf, few products have been as instrumental to the game as Softspikes. In the mid-90’s, no one gave Softspikes a chance. Today, however, Softspikes has no equal and remains a brand that transcended both professional and amateur golf the world over!

One of the most amazing aspects of Softspikes is that the Company made obsolete a sound synonymous with the game of golf … the sound of metal golf spikes “click-clacking” on macadam. This was once a beautiful sound at a golf course, as metal spikes personified the game. However, they also lead to the destruction of greens, clubhouses and golf carts, while contributing to aching backs and sore feet. Today, the click, clack of metal spikes has been replaced by silence at nearly every golf course in the United States, thanks to the Softspikes phenomenon.

Plastic golf cleats were once a product scoffed at by amateurs, professionals, golf course superintendents and anyone associated with the game. In fact, the very professionals who said they would never, ever wear them on TOUR today are the product’s biggest proponents. In fact, more than 75% of the players on the PGA Tour consistently wear plastic cleats, while the Softspikes-brand has accounted for more than 300 TOUR victories, including 44 straight major championships. This, despite the fact that TOUR players are one group that is still permitted to wear metal spikes.

After more than a decade, tens of billions of Softspikes have been sold, making it one of the single greatest success stories in golf equipment history. It was one of those products that transcended the game and forced nearly every golf course in America to issue a formal ban on metal spikes. Today, metal spikes represent less than 1% of the marketplace and you can count on your fingers the number of courses across the U.S. that still allow metal spikes. Softspikes is a division of PrideSports, which was formed in January 2003, following Pride Manufacturing Company’s purchase of Softspikes, LLC, 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.
