CHAMP Helix spikes provide next-level traction and durability - plus they're green-friendly
IT'S SLIM, LIGHT, AND BACKWARDS- COMPATIBLE
CHAMP's new "SLIM-Lok" connectors are available in all of their new spikes, providing them with a lower profile, and making them lighter at the same time. This way, shoe manufacturers can continue the trend to bring golfers closer to the ground, while still offering the traction benefits of real spikes. (You didn't think that the all-in-one "spikeless" shoes provided as much traction as removable spike models did you?)
In the case of the SLIM-Lok connector, those spikes will fit in shoes made for TRI-Lok spikes. (Many FootJoy models, for example.)
HELIX: THE LATEST FROM CHAMP

CHAMP's Helix
Spike |
This design doesn't just look cool, it provides excellent traction, stability, and durability. Helix's green-friendly design is a courtesy to the the golfers playing with and behind you. Like other new Champ models, Helix has reinforced wrench holes formed in rigid material so that you won't struggle or strip them when replacing. And the signature “C” is more than just a branding icon, it doubles as a wear indicator, turning solid when spikes need to be replaced. Brilliant!
HOW TO CHANGE THE SPIKES IN YOUR GOLF SHOES
If you're a member of a fancy country club, you can simply leave your shoes up for cleaning, ask the "shoe guy" to change your spikes and arrive next time to find your shoes in perfect shape. But if you're like most golfers, you don't have this luxury. Check out the video below, in which Harris MacNeill and his son Mark of MacNeill Engineering/CHAMP show you how to do the job right, starting with a good cleaning.
