Which turf should I go with?
Putting Greens Direct manufactures every type of turf available
in the synthetic turf industry. Many companies claim to manufacture
synthetic turf, but only have one or two products to offer. We offer
a full product line of polypropylene, polyephelyne, nylon and combination
turf products for our customers to choose from, and have the ability
to custom make any turf based on your
specifications. The most important factor to consider when choosing
a synthetic turf is the intended purpose of the green.
What do you want to use your green for?
Your putting green should have a turf that is right for your needs.
Select a turf product from the tables below for a full description
of each turf and its specifications. Also, the Synthetic
Greens at a Glance table can assist in deciding which turf is
right for your needs.

Nylon Turf
Nylon & Nylon sand-filled synthetic turfs have "memory."
The fibers are heat-set during the manufacturing process at 230
degrees and will resist becoming matted down by springing back to
their original upright position. Our nylon synthetic turfs are much
denser than our polypropylene sand-filled turfs. That is why our
nylon products require zero to minimal amounts of sand-fill. Nylon
is also a much stronger fiber than polypropylene and will resist
fading and wear in all weather conditions. Our sand filled nylon
products have been specifically designed as excellent all-purpose
turfs. They give you the best of both worlds - excellent shot receiving
and superb putting performance. Also, by adding a small amount of
sand-fill to you putting green, you can increase the speed of your
green. Nylon synthetic turf does not require maintenance after it
is installed, unless you add sand during the installation. Whether
you choose a sand-filled or non sand-filled nylon turf, the surface
of your green can be cleared of debris easily, by either blowing
or sweeping the surface.

Polypropylene Turf
Polypropylene is a form of plastic. All polypropylene turfs require
some sand-fill to perform well. There are a couple of reasons why
you need sand-fill in a polypropylene turf. The most important reason
is because the fibers cannot stand upright on their own. Sand fill
is also required to help prevent the fibers from becoming matted
down. Adding sand-fill to a putting green will equate to periodic
maintenance, despite claims to the contrary. Heavily sand-filled
greens will become hard over time, and will require a little more
maintenance to provide good performance. These sand-filled turf
products require 4-12 pounds of sand per sq. ft., and must be brushed
and re-filled with sand if the sand-fill becomes compacted or washed
away. With the right sand-fill, polypropylene provides an excellent
surface for receiving long approach shots. (The sand-fill helps
disperse the energy of a ball when hit into a green from any significant
distance.) Putting on a sand-filled turf does have a drawback however.
You will experience a "grainy" effect when you putt on
a sand-filled turf. This means that the ball will roll faster with
the grain than against the grain.
This effect will occur with most polypropylene products that you
choose.
