Does anyone know where I can buy Tri-Lok (or Fast-Twist) metal spikes that fit FootJoys?

I tend to wear them out fequently and am looking to buy in bulk and hopefully at a discounted rate for doing so.

Either several blister packs at a time or by the "sweet jar" full that you see in pro-shops.

Please let me know.

Can't help out on the bulk buy bit but have you tried Stinger Pro spikes.
They are Stinger soft spikes with a long metal centre spike.
They are the best spikes I've ever used and the metal bit lasts for absolutely ages.
Actually your more likely to replace them when they fall out rather than for wearing away.

Don't you fall foul of the "soft spikes only" rules with those pro spikes though?

I'm not getting into this debate again!

If I feel like wearing soft spikes I will - I will be a judge of the underfoot conditions - I will not have some jumped up idiot of a greens committee chairman who is more likely to be playing off a 28 handicap telling me what is best for his greens when the rest of the course is probably like a bog.

I wear metal spikes where ever and when ever I like, if the course where I want to play don't like it then they lose a green fee - there are plenty of other courses and clubs about who do not have that misguided veiw!

The tendency/trend is now going back to the safer metal spike - thank the lord common sense is starting re-assert itself.

We all know that most Health & Safety laws (H&S) are by and large over the top but due consideration must be given to the safety and security of the stance during the golf swing and the general walking conditions of the course. If the course demands a better more secure grip then I say to hell with the greens - most of us have to go to work the next day and can't afford to be off injured.

Metal golf spikes have been in use for decades. I have always felt that there is more to the desire to ban them than just a few spike marks.

If spike marks due to metal spikes are that much of a problem, then the R&A and the USGA should be lobbied to allow you to tamp the damn things down - now wouldn't that solve a few problems, (although I think the greedy manufacturers would have something to say about that!)

I thought they were banned because of the annoying sound they made as you walked across the car park......

"I'm not getting into this debate again!"

Then a nice long post just to prove it :)

Well there you go!

I do tend to go off on one!

But there again - I did ask a perfectly reasonable question in the first place, why certain people try and change the thread I don't know.

I just wish that if they haven't got a good suggestion in response to a question, such as the one I initially posed, then why do they feel they have to say anything at all. Why don't they start their own thread?

By the way - thankyou Tricky, I found your information most helpful and I have now acted upon it. I'll let you know how I get on with the spikes that you recommended at a later date.

I am trying to find "quick lock" soft spikes. I know they are not available at the usual outlets.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Rozier, do you mean Q-Lok? I use them in my Etonics (also used in Nikes). They should be available at most golf shops but I tend to find the selection varies from store to store.

Q-Lok and Fast Twist fitting metal spikes are available for Direct Golf. I buy mine from my local American Golf or club pro, never had a problem finding them
