STi Bent Grass Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Bent Grass is a high-performance, texturized artificial turf designed as an entry-level putting surface and multi-sport recreational floor. Featuring multi-colored yarn that mimics the fine, tight texture of natural creeping bentgrass, it is engineered for consistent ball behavior across a spectrum of short-game and court sports. Installed in backyard golf layouts to provide golfers with a budget-friendly home practice green that achieves a true, predictable ball roll. Used for chipping zones receiving short wedge approach shots from up to 30 yards away. When ballasted with sand infill, the yarn structure properly absorbs energy, preventing the golf ball from bouncing erratically. Because it creates a flat, rapid-gliding playing surface, it is frequently specified for installing community or backyard Bocce ball, Croquet, Tennis, and Cricket pitches. Sourced by driving ranges, golf academies, and community centers to build high-traffic target pods or instructional short-game matrices.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance

While it lacks the dense face weight of premium tournament carpets, its flat layout makes it incredibly adaptive for residential, commercial, and civic applications. Engineered to deliver a steady 10 feet rating on the Stimpmeter. It provides a reliable home green to practice putts without directional bias.

Commercial training academies and driving ranges deploy it to construct distinct target greens across their fields due to its high-fidelity multi-colored look.

It protects against excessive blade breaking, brittleness, or yarn cracking caused by daily sunlight exposure. Covers severe color loss or rapid bleaching that deviates from normal, expected weather wear.
