Champ Scorpion Stinger Golf Spikes
The Champ Scorpion Stinger Golf Spikes are by far the elite golf spikes on the market today. They offer unrivaled traction as well as comfort while remaining completely uncompromising to the greens that they step on. The revolutionary Stinger Spikes are able to do this due to their ability to incorporate traction through primary and secondary traction elements from the ground up with a special spring-flex traction that is 100 percent green friendly.
The Champ Scorpion Stinger Golf Spikes are used on the Nike Air Max Revive Golf Shoe as well as many of Nike's top golf shoes. Champ's incredible Q-LOK System makes this possible mainly because of its convenience to its users. The Q-LOK System uses a patented design that is derived from two interlocking triangles; all that is needed for taking them off and/or cleaning them is to make a reverse turn with the included wrench. To lock the spikes back in place, apply light pressure down on the spikes while turning them clockwise.
One of the most innovative features that the Champ Scorpion Stinger Golf Spikes offers is the Visible Wear Indicator, which allows you to know when it is time to change the spikes with a new pair. The Champ Scorpion Stinger Golf Spikes are available in four models (Large Plastic Thread, Q-LOK, Small Metal Thread and Tri-LOK), the best obviously being the Q-LOK and range in price from $9.95 to $19.95 for an 18-count box.
Softspikes Black Widow Tour Golf Spikes
The Softspikes Black Widow Tour Golf Spikes are the closest competitor to the Champ Scorpion Stingers when it comes to today's premium golf spikes. Similar to the Scorpion Stingers the Black Widow Tours are also self-adjusting, which make them very practical and are almost as comfortable with the same amount of traction. One advantage that the Black Widow Tours do have over the Scorpion Spikes is their ability to adjust the balance and weight distribution, which can in turn improve your swing.
The Softspikes Black Widow Tour Golf Spikes are also very friendly to the greens that they walk on and still remain very reliable in terms of traction and stability. Two settings that Softspikes use for the Black Widow Tour's Self Adjusting Traction are the Tour-Firm Setting (extreme traction that provides greater resistance at initial impact from a firm spike-like feel) and Tour-Comfort Setting (Maximum flex, comfort and traction).
Softspikes as a brand is currently the official cleat for 70 percent of the field at most PGA Tour events, and soon the Black Widow Tours will be the favored cleat of all of Softspikes creations. The Softspikes Black Widow Tours are available everywhere golf spikes are sold and have a suggested retail price of $16.99 per pack.
Softspikes Pulsar Golf Spikes
The Softspikes Pulsar Golf Spikes are currently Softspikes' most popular line of golf spikes and are almost as comfortable and green-friendly as their Black Widow Tours. Softspikes sunk a hole-in-one when it created the Pulsar Golf Spikes largely due to its patented Reactive Comfort Technology, which delivers extreme performance and comfort through a unique 16-component design that changes based on your movement.
The Reactive Comfort Technology in the Pulsars call for flexor knuckles to be placed at the flex point of eight separate legs, which enhance flexibility, responsiveness and strength. These features are essential components of any golfer's game, and without them it isn't likely that your final scores will have a minus sign next to them. The crowning jewel in the Pulsar may just be the reinforced arched webbing that is between each leg, which produces an instant energy return every instance that the cleat is compacted.
The Softspikes Pulsar Golf Spikes are available in many golf equipment and sporting goods stores and have a retail price of $14.99 per box.
These are the best three sets of golf spikes on the market today. You cannot go wrong with any of these choices when it comes to comfort, traction and stability. It is simply up to you regarding what extra feature you are looking for when it comes time to select a set, place them on your shoes and get ready to tee off.
