UltraBlade DFE with extreme-cycle backing for FBS and FCS programs. Built for back-to-back fall camp, conference play, and band rehearsal in the same week.
Engineered for ball roll and bounce. Infield, outfield, and warning track variants run from the same loom for a uniform face that plays true through every transition.
GrandSlam with extreme-cycle backing. Specified by D1 programs and pro-affiliated facilities that need year-round playability under tarp and sun cycles.
Slit-film indoor system for field houses and training facilities. Tuned for cleated speed work, footwear flexibility, and seven-day-a-week traffic.

A turf system is the fiber plus the infill plus the shock pad. Sprinturf manufactures or specifies every component so the warranty covers the assembly, not just the carpet.

Standard SBR crumb. The lowest cost, highest tonnage option, and the one most state co-ops still spec by default.

Virgin EPDM rubber. Cleaner profile, lower volatile content, and a longer service life than SBR for districts that have phased out tire crumb.

Thermoplastic elastomer. Recyclable, color-stable, and the standard infill on FIFA Quality Pro soccer specs that prohibit rubber.

Cork and coconut blend. Fully organic, fully compostable at end of life. Specified by parks departments and grant-funded community fields.

Heat-mitigation infill. Drops surface temperature 30 to 50 degrees on hot days through evaporative cooling. Sprinturf-engineered, Sprinturf-warrantied.

10 mm prefabricated shock pad. The recommended pairing for Predator and DFE Extreme. Adds Gmax headroom and resets the wear clock at every fiber replacement.
