FAQs
What is Game ON turf technology? Game ON is a turf system from Shaw Sports Turf that uses tufted-in technology to incorporate logos, lines, and other design elements directly into the turf. This removes the need to cut and seam those elements into the field as separate inlays. Fewer inlay seams mean fewer potential separation points, supporting field quality and player safety while streamlining installation. The technology also allows custom graphics, end zone branding, and mow patterns.
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.
