Artificial turf for baseball fields have come a long way. Mondo
has raised the bar to ensure proper ball play, player safety, and
overall performance.
Mondo's goal is to ensure that the Mondoturf systems deliver the
appropriate amount of shock absorption and energy return for
baseball turf, the key elements in determining the feel,
performance, and safety experienced on a natural grass field.
Mondo's turf research specifically tested the integrity of the
baseball's reaction to different surfaces and infill systems. Mondo
found that Ecofill produced results that were closest to a
well-maintained natural turf playing field. Furthermore, test
results showed that the integrity of the baseball's reaction on
black rubber infill was greatly distorted.
Ecofill efficiently absorbs the impact caused by the weight of the
player, protecting his/her muscle-tendinous apparatus. This allows
the baseball player to pivot, plant, turn, twist, and take-off
without the risk of getting "caught in the turf." The great
dimensional memory shown by Ecofill guarantees a perfect energy
return.
