Six questions buyers ask first.
If yours is not here, call the number at the top of the page or email a Sprinturf rep through the contact form. Same-day reply on weekdays.
What is the Gmax rating of Predator?
Predator is engineered to perform below 165 Gmax per ASTM F355 throughout its rated service life. Sprinturf publishes per-project Gmax test results on request as part of the "Numbers, not stories" transparency program.
Where is Predator manufactured?
All Predator fibers are extruded at the Sprinturf plant in Dadeville, Alabama. Tufting and coating happen at the Sprinturf plant in Chatsworth, Georgia. Sprinturf is the only North American synthetic turf company that owns extrusion through tufting through coating in-house.
What sports is Predator built for?
Football and soccer primarily. The dual-fiber architecture handles cleat traffic at NFHS, NCAA, and FCS levels. Predator also installs on multi-use fields where football and soccer share a footprint with lacrosse and band.
What is the warranty?
Predator carries an 8-year limited warranty against fiber failure, seam separation, and excessive color fade. As of 2026, Sprinturf has not had a fiber failure on a warranted field since 2010. Average field life beats published warranty by four years across the warranty cohort.
How does it compare to FieldTurf Revolution and Shaw Legion?
All three are dual-fiber-class systems engineered for elite football. Per-spec performance is comparable. Per-warranty performance favors the manufacturer that controls every step of the chain.
The Sprinturf advantage is vertical integration. We extrude our own fiber in-house at Dadeville, Alabama. FieldTurf and Shaw source yarn from third parties. When a fiber problem appears in year three, we cannot blame an upstream supplier. We made it. We own the fix.
What infills are Predator compatible with?
Predator is compatible with crumb rubber, EPDM, TPE, Greenplay organic cork-and-coconut, and Sprinturf NaturalCool heat-mitigation infill. The recommended shock pad pairing is SprintPlay 580 at 10 mm.
Co-op buyers on Sourcewell, OMNIA, BuyBoard, or TIPS-USA can swap infill packages without re-bidding the carpet.
