Artificial Playground Turf and Child Safety: The Facts

Artificial Playground Turf and Child Safety: The Facts

A parent asking how safe is artificial playground turf is really asking four different questions.

Padel Turf Quotes: Reading Between the Specs

Padel Turf Quotes: Reading Between the Specs

A padel turf quote is read twice: once for what each number means and once for what each number hides.

Golf Simulator Turf: Bay Specs for Strike Surface, Tee Line and Putting

Picture a commercial teaching studio at half past six on a weekday morning. The launch monitor already drifts from session to session.

Indoor Sprint Lane Turf: Field-Event Run-Up Specs That Take Spikes

Indoor Sprint Lane Turf: Field-Event Run-Up Specs That Take Spikes

Almost every failure on an indoor track starts at the same interface: the point where a spike enters the surface. Outdoor surfaces accept pins of 9 mm, or 12 mm for certain field events, while indoor tracks are held to 6 mm. Indoor surfaces are thinner and more easily damaged, so the surface itself must ...
