STi Fast Putt Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Fast Putt is a highly versatile, short-pile artificial turf engineered primarily for entry-level indoor putting greens, commercial multisport courts, and portable/modular golf applications. Known for rolling incredibly fast with a Stimp rating exceeding 11.5+, it is designed as a budget-friendly option that delivers a smooth, directionless, and highly realistic ball roll without requiring extensive sand infill. Acts as an excellent entry-level indoor turf carpet. Its low-profile pile enables crisp ball physics for residential garage setups, office common rooms, and basement practice greens. Beyond golf, its uniform tightly-tufted face makes it a popular flooring selection for bocce ball, croquet, tennis, and cricket enclosures where true object gliding is a priority. Because it can be ordered with flexible padding options, it is easily shaped around dramatic indoor breaks, glued cleanly down over concrete floors, or cut into temporary rollout mats for trade shows and exhibitions.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Fast Putt is an ultra-versatile, high-performance putting turf engineered specifically for indoor and outdoor golf layouts that require championship-level green speeds. Also marketed as Pro Putt MG Turf, it features a tight, low-profile 1/4-inch pile height and highly uniform construction. The turf delivers a super-slick surface tracking at a Stimp speed of 11.5+, making it a cost-effective alternative for mimicking tournament-grade golf courses. Favoured by low-handicap golfers looking to practice on lightning-fast surfaces. Its texturized construction yields an isotropic, multi-directional ball roll with virtually zero grain bias. Installed by PGA professionals and commercial golf clubs to build true-tracking short-game studios that reward precise stroke weight and alignment.
- Natural multi-tone appearance
- Soft realistic blade structure
- Drainage-friendly construction
- Low-maintenance performance
- UV-stabilized color retention

Recommended Applications
While Synthetic Turf International (STI) Fast Putt is universally recognized for premium golf putting greens, its ultra-dense, low-friction 1/4-inch pile profile makes it a highly adaptable surface for several other specific applications. Applied as the primary putting surface for low-handicap players who demand lighting-fast green speeds (Stimp speeds of 11.5+). Its texturized design provides an identical, true-ball roll from all directions with zero grain bias. Installed inside golf academies and pro shops where PGA instructors require a highly uniform, predictable surface to measure precise stroke mechanics, launch monitor data, and putting paths. Deployed across residential garages and commercial simulator lounges. Because it achieves high speeds with minimal or zero sand infill, it keeps sensitive tracking cameras, radars, and project screens completely free of abrasive silica dust.
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Fast Putt requires a highly precise, method-driven installation process because its ultra-dense, low-friction 1/4-inch profile will telegraph any sub-surface imperfections or unevenness directly to the rolling golf or bocce ball. Excavate the project area to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Remove all sod, loose soil, and tree roots. Compact the raw subgrade soil using a heavy motorized vibratory plate compactor. Lay a commercial-grade geotextile weed fabric over the compacted soil to prevent base migration and suppress future weed growth. Backfill the excavation with 3 inches of Crushed Aggregate Base (CAB) or Class 2 Road Base. Grade the stone to establish a subtle slope (typically a 1% fall) for water shedding. Moisten the stone and compact it thoroughly. Add a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch finish layer of Decomposed Granite (DG) or crushed limestone fines. Use a straight edge or laser level to smooth out all trowel marks and minor divots. Compact this final layer until it achieves a concrete-like hardness.
- 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
