SLUGGER TURF
5 Tool System
ProGrass, a leader in the synthetic turf industry, created the
Slugger Turf 5-tool synthetic turf system by using two different pile
heights and three different infill mixtures. Together, these create
a turf that replicates a natural baseball field’s look and playability.
The fiber, working with the infill combinations, truly controls the
speed of the ball off the bat and eliminates bad bounces. It’s the
baseball turf to beat; providing durability, performance, aesthetics
and feel – all in one package!
“Louisville Slugger is all things baseball,
that’s why we’re eager to enter this
partnership with ProGrass. Being part of
the first synthetic turf that plays like a
natural field is a natural for our company.
Louisville Slugger is history and tradition
combined with cutting-edge technology to
help bring enjoyment to those who play
the greatest game ever invented.”
