Turf for Golf and Baseball Fields
Typically used for baseball applications, Pro Ball Turf is one of our most popular and versatile surfaces. Since there is no need for infill, it is a great choice for indoor and portable applications. In addition, this baseball field turf includes seven standard color choices with custom colors available upon request. These features make this turf product a great choice for locker rooms and agility and training facilities, as well.
What applications is this turf used for?
The EZTee® Poly features a non-infilled high-grade polypropylene yarn system designed for heavy traffic tee lines, hitting mats, and extended use golf ranges. This product holds a real tee, allows players to hit all clubs, from a wedge to a driver, and is used by many of the top golf courses around the world. EZTee® Poly does not replace your natural grass, but instead gives the grass time to heal properly.
