Continuation of Penn State Synthetic Turf Wear Testing Proves Yet Again the Superior Durability of FieldTurf Revolution
Summary
Echoing the conclusions from the first Lisport testing program run at Penn State that compared FieldTurf Revolution, Sportexe Powerblade (1st generation), and AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D60H, the results of the second round of expanded Lisport testing continues to prove that FieldTurf Revolution has been designed to be the most durable fiber in the industry and has clearly outperformed the other six systems under standard and heavy wear simulations.The belief is that performing comparative wear tests to 30,000 cycles provides clear data on long-term fiber durability.Samples of FieldTurf Revolution, Sportexe Powerblade (1st generation), AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D60H, AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D with Astroflect, Mondo Monofibre 3NX, Shaw Sportexe Powerblade HP+, and UBU Sports Speed M4-M were exposed to a total of 30,000 cycles on a Lisport wear tester.Each sample was filled with crumb rubber to a depth based on manufacturer specifications.Echoing the conclusions from the first Lisport testing program run at Penn State that compared FieldTurf Revolution, Sportexe Powerblade (1st generation), and AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D60H, the results of the second round of expanded Lisport testing continues to prove that FieldTurf Revolution has been designed to be the most durable fiber in the industry and has clearly outperformed the other six systems under standard and heavy wear simulations.The results of Lisport testing provide an indication of the durability of the synthetic turf system.Fiber classifications were made of each product for each 10,000 cycle interval from 10 random fibers removed from samples.
