WE TAKE A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH WITH EACH COACH AND CLIENT
By taking an innovative approach to Research and Development, we’ve set ourselves apart from the pack with the Diamond Series. Bounces are truer and speed is more natural. We’ll let you in on a little secret — we’ve designed systems that play like clay where they’re supposed to and like grass where they should. Customization allows for a home-field advantage. Importantly, our use of nylon in the base paths and infield creates realistic sliding distances and enhances durability in these high use areas. Specialized fibers, differentiated pile heights, and tunable infill ratios are critical.
AstroTurf’s prestigious reputation in the baseball world is making traction in softball as well. It’s not because what’s good for baseball must be good for softball. Rather, our deep understanding of what it takes to emulate grass and clay sets us a step above the rest. With the Diamond Series bunts, slaps, and bounces play like they should.
We provide metrics, testing data, and research to our clients and then spend hours consulting with the coaches to determine exactly how they desire their field to play. Our tailored approach helps us fine tune each field’s speed and bounces to give our customers the desired playability and performance of their field
