PERFORMANCE COMES FROM THE SYSTEM,
NOT JUST ONE COMPONENT
The performance of your field relies on how the
entire synthetic turf system is engineered.
- Type and pile height of fiber
- Infill type and ratio
- Nature of tuft bind
- Integrity of backing
- Drainability
How Do You Measure Performance?

Products must meet rigid in-house testing at our state-of-the-art Sports Science Laboratory in Dalton, GA, one of the largest most and most advnaced research and development centers of its kind in the United States.
Measures high impact interaction between the athlete and the surface
Measures the athlete’s foot stability on the surface; the more firm the surface, the faster the athlete can run and turn directions
Measures the natural bounce of a ball, simulating its position after being kicked into the air
Measures the torque required to rotate a set of cleats through a 90 degrees turn through the surface
Measures the amount of the impact force that is transferred to the athlete compared to running on concrete
Measures the distance and speed of a ball when passed from one player to another.
