MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (July 29, 2003) - A recent independent survey taken
by the management of the FUTURES Tour revealed that spikes manufactured
by CHAMP(R), a division of MacNeill Engineering, are far and away the
choice of their Tour's talented young up-and-comers. Nearly three times
as many FUTURES Tour players choose CHAMP than any other brand.
CHAMP Spikes are already Tour proven on the PGA, LPGA, and Champions Tour and have a solid footing throughout the international market.
"The past two years have been a great time for CHAMP," said Harris MacNeill, CEO of MacNeill Engineering. "We are the No. 1 spike on the LPGA Tour and have made significant advances on the PGA Tour as well. It is, therefore, a real pleasure to find out that the pros of tomorrow on the FUTURES Tour already see the benefits of CHAMP spikes. It lets us know that CHAMP will be the spike of choice for winners in years to come."
CHAMP ScorpionSpikes(TM) placed #1 in GolfTest USA's independent tests
of soft golf spikes. The CHAMP ScorpionSpike was awarded the highest
overall score of 8.9 against all competing brands in the soft golf spike
category after rigorous testing for quality, ease of cleaning, traction,
clogging, and durability. CHAMP was the big winner in the category, placing
three of its spike products in the Top Five of test results. The #1 CHAMP
ScorpionSpike was followed closely in the overall ratings by the CHAMP
TRAC(TM) spike and the CHAMP Tred-Lite.
