Soft spike replacement

[e-man]

Hey guys. I’m not looking for anything fancy, just something that works. What’s the typical replacement for soft spikes?

Are you asking for what replacement brand people use? If so, I like the Champ Stingers.

[e-man]

Yes, that’s right. I’ve heard of Champ, Pulsar and Black Widow. Does it matter? Just looking for something pretty basic if that makes sense. The shoes are footjoy contour and I would be happy replacing the spikes with what’s currently in them, but don’t know what they are.

Original spikes in your Contours depends on which model.

 

ContourFIT - Spftspikes Pulsar

Contour Series - Champ Zarma

The complicated part is figuring out which threads you need. There are several kinds of threads used for spikes. This table should help you.

Spend a few $$$ on a decent spike wrench, especially if the old cleats are fairly worn. I had good luck with this one given that it has the pronged bits.

Here is Footjoy's page of[ current golf shoes and respective spikes](https://www.footjoy.com/replacement-spikes.html " current golf shoes and respective spikes").

That is very helpful. Thanks a lot.

FYI, in 2017, the company that makes CHAMP spikes merged with the company that owns Softspikes. So, it's possible that, there is a model that used to be sold under one brand that is now being sold under the other brand. For example, according the Footjoy page, the replacement spike for the Tour-S shoes is the CHAMP PiViX. The PiViX currently appears to be a Softspike product, with only a few stores still carrying (or at least advertising) the CHAMP version of the PiViX.
