FAQs
How is turf selected for a multisport field? A multisport surface should be selected around the sports that will use it and how often each activity takes place. Keystone reviews the facility’s usage to compare the needs of players and the way different balls interact with the surface. Fiber construction and system configuration can then be evaluated together. This process helps owners choose a field suited to their actual athletic program rather than assuming that every synthetic surface serves every sport equally well.
What does a shock pad contribute to a synthetic turf field? A shock pad is a resilient layer installed beneath the turf carpet to help absorb impact and support consistent sports performance. It works with the turf and infill rather than replacing their functions. Some pads also incorporate drainage features, but those capabilities vary by system. Evaluating the complete field assembly is important because the combined materials determine how the surface responds to athletes running and falling on it.
