Review on Softspikes Cyclone Fast Twist Ultimate Cleat Kit by Timothy Kiley

Screw in by hand until you feel a click. It was very difficult to remove the old spikes. The tool didn't help; he just broke the old thorn. Of course, I played many, many rounds in my old spikes (some of which were worn to the bottom) and the sand and dirt became like concrete in and around the socket holes. I quickly learned that a small, thin flathead screwdriver would effectively pry the old spikes up from under and under them. Once loosened, the old two-tooth tool actually worked best. A friend shared a trick with me, too late for me to use it. Presumably when it's time to put in those replacement spikes, apply a liberal amount of petroleum jelly to the hole and the new spike will push it out and around the fitting to keep sand and dirt from turning to concrete. Much luck.
