I think tiger uses the stinger pro spikes. If use them if I could.

I just looked these up, are they accepted by most courses as still being considered "soft" spikes?

Why? Must soft spikes have a certain shape?

I would assume when they say no metal cleats they mean, you just can't have metal on the bottom, which the pro stingers do. The pro stingers have the regular champ stinger shape with a metal spike in the middle.

Interesting. I did not know that. I think I just assumed that they were banned because nobody wore them anymore.

If the courses didn't have to ban them because too many knuckleheads didn't know how to lift their feet when they walk we could still use them, I would bet there are probably some private clubs that allow them because enough of the membership wanted them and knew what they were doing to not tear the greens up. I remember when that was the norm and how torn up some greens would get on heavy play but I also remember how well planted you would be wearing them.
