Portland, Ore. – December 5, 2022 - PAYNTR GOLF, the fastest growing brand in golf, today announced the launch of the Payntr X 004 RS, the company’s first spiked golf shoe. The performance driven spiked model will be the first golf shoe to market to feature the ground-breaking Softspikes® Tour Flex Pro spike. The Payntr X 004 RS is available today at www.payntrgolf.com and specialty golf accounts nationwide, retailing for $200.
“This is a monumental moment for PAYNTR GOLF to introduce our first spiked product, leveraging the innovation Softspikes has provided golfers for decades,” says Co-founder and President of PAYNTR GOLF, Mike Forsey. “Our brand is all about delivering a footwear performance advantage to the golfer, specifically in the areas of traction and comfort. We accomplish this by focusing on the biomechanics of the golf swing and the on-course needs of the golfer.”
The Payntr X 004 RS is the brand’s first Tour-level spiked golf shoe, the first golf shoe to integrate Softspikes Tour Flex Pro spikes, the first spiked golf shoe with a carbon fiber propulsion plate, the first ventilated spiked golf shoe, and the first golf shoe with a blister free PMX-Fit heel and blister free warranty.
In development of all PAYNTR GOLF models, the engineering team is laser focused on how the golfer achieves more speed through better traction. By more effectively harnessing ground reaction forces throughout the golf swing, the three-dimensional traction and propulsion technology in the shoes delivers golfers more clubhead speed and more power to the ball.
Softspikes’ Tour Flex Pro provides golfers with incredible control and unmatched stability through the use of three degrees of traction and 10 points of contact. The new spike also features Softspikes’ exclusive center stinger post which anchors golfers to the ground and provides the perfect combination of traction, performance and comfort.
“We closely watched the development of PAYNTR GOLF since their entrance into the golf shoe market nearly two years ago and have been impressed with their performance-driven focus,” said Senior Vice President of SoftSpikes, Kent Richard. “Softspikes continues to deliver golfers a superior product with Tour-level Traction and we are thrilled that our Tour Flex Pro spike is a key component in the Payntr X 004 RS.”
