STi Tour Shot Pro Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Tour Shot Pro is a high-performance, heavy-duty synthetic turf specifically engineered for premium residential and commercial golf putting greens. Featuring a structural 1-inch pile height and a total material weight of 62 oz. per square yard, it is constructed with highly texturized polypropylene yarns. This dense, curled yarn architecture delivers a consistent green surface that provides a true, natural ball roll and realistic green speeds without requiring the extreme maintenance or high sand ballast volumes of traditional slit-film turf systems. Engineered with premium UV stabilization to resist heavy sun exposure, its factory-punched perforations ensure instant vertical stormwater drainage. This keeps outdoor practice areas ready immediately following a rainstorm. Extensively used by PGA professionals, instructors, and commercial teaching studios. Because the texturized fiber matrix provides continuous mechanical upright support, it can be installed indoors over flat concrete bases to deliver high-tier short game training.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Tour Shot Pro is a high-performance, sand-filled putting turf engineered to provide a true, natural roll with highly consistent green speeds. Featuring a texturized polypropylene yarn matrix, a 1-inch pile height, and a total weight of 62 oz. per square yard, it is specifically designed to handle the high impact of chipping and pitching while requiring far less maintenance than conventional sand-filled systems. Unlike tight nylon carpets that cause long-distance shots to bounce wildly off the green, Tour Shot Pro’s 1-inch texturized profile absorbs ball energy. Golf balls hit from the fairway will check up, spin, and bite predictably. Custom backyard builds utilize this turf because installers can adjust the amount of rounded silica sand infill layered into the blades to fine-tune the green's rolling speed (Stimp rating) to match the homeowner’s exact preferences.
- Natural multi-tone appearance
- Soft realistic blade structure
- Drainage-friendly construction
- Low-maintenance performance
- UV-stabilized color retention

Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Tour Shot Pro is engineered for precision short-game applications where realistic ball tracking, shot absorption, and multi-directional roll are required. Installed as the central focal point of luxury outdoor residential short-game arenas. Homeowners shape and contour Tour Shot Pro over a compacted aggregate base to introduce subtle breaks, ridges, and slopes that mimic country club putting conditions. The 1-inch depth gives the turf excellent structural body, allowing it to act as a true shot-receptor green for pitch and chip shots from around the yard. It absorbs ball energy cleanly, avoiding the unnaturally high, bouncy reactions seen on thinner nylon surfaces. Heavily utilized by PGA teaching professionals, commercial indoor simulator businesses, and custom garage build-outs. Because the texturized yarn architecture provides natural mechanical support to keep fibers upright, it can be glued or taped directly down onto hard concrete subfloors without the need for massive sand ballast volumes.
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
The installation protocol for Synthetic Turf International (STI) Tour Shot Pro varies based on whether it is deployed over an outdoor aggregate base, an indoor simulator subfloor, or an elevated concrete rooftop. Because this 1-inch, texturized polypropylene turf acts as a true shot-receptor, precision base engineering is required to ensure consistent ball tracking and energy absorption. Subgrade dirt is excavated to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. The subgrade is treated with a commercial weed barrier and mechanically compacted using a vibrating plate tamper. Installers spread 3 to 4 inches of ¾-inch clean crushed stone (sub-base), followed by 1 to 2 inches of fine crusher fines or decomposed granite (top capping layer). The top finishing stone is laser-graded or hand-contoured to introduce precise undulations, breaks, and uniform slopes toward the drainage perimeters.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
Warranty & Availability
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Tour Shot Pro is covered by the manufacturer's 8-year limited pro-rated warranty from the date of shipment. Because this premium nylon turf is heavily utilized for commercial and residential putting greens, tee lines, and target pods, the warranty coverage strictly targets manufacturing integrity and elemental endurance rather than standard wear from high-impact club friction. STI offers a one full year 100% replacement warranty on materials for any defects in workmanship or raw manufacturing flaws discovered post-shipment. The product is guaranteed against severe ozone or ultraviolet (UV) color fading and solar degradation over the entire 8-year span. A claim triggers if the yarn loses more than 50% of its baseline tensile strength due to sun damage.
