STi Performance Choice Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Performance Choice is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade athletic turf designed primarily for indoor training facilities, agility tracks, multi-sport complexes, and baseball batting cages. It is engineered with a dense split-film and texturized nylon yarn matrix built specifically to withstand repeated heavy usage from developing and elite athletes while offering customizable layout portability. Sized perfectly for high-traffic gym fit-outs. Its structural composition is highly resilient against the relentless friction of metal-weighted fitness sleds, tires, and heavy rope training. Sourced by indoor training schools and professional hitting tunnels. The turf absorbs continuous cleat twisting, protects expensive dropped bats from fracturing, and dampens the sound of high-velocity ball drops. Gives athletes a non-slip foundation for explosive movements, shuttle runs, and cross-training drills.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Performance Choice (Model AT755) is a heavy-duty, high-performance commercial athletic turf engineered explicitly for indoor training facilities, speed clinics, and premium multi-sport complexes. Manufactured with a high face weight for extreme durability, this specialized turf is designed to withstand the brutal, repetitive abrasion of developing athletes without matting or degrading. It features a built-in 5mm polyurethane foam backing pad that cushions joint impact during heavy conditioning drills and explosive movements. Built to act as a resilient floor for heavy weight sled pushes and pulls, tire flips, resistance band sprints, and high-intensity plyometrics. The dense fibers provide optimal underfoot traction while stopping the turf from stretching horizontally under heavy loads. Installed inside commercial hitting tunnels, pitching labs, and school training centers. Its dense yarn architecture absorbs high-velocity ball impacts and easily handles continuous batter box cleat twisting without shedding fibers.
- Natural multi-tone appearance
- Soft realistic blade structure
- Drainage-friendly construction
- Low-maintenance performance
- UV-stabilized color retention

Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Performance Choice (Model AT755) is an ultra-dense, commercial-grade athletic turf engineered for high-impact sports, speed conditioning, and multi-sport facilities. Because it features a built-in 5mm polyurethane foam backing cushion and requires zero loose sand or rubber infill, it can be safely and cleanly deployed across a wide variety of specific indoor applications. The low-drag 7/8-inch pile height minimizes resistance against metal sled skis. This allows fluid, continuous movement while stopping the turf from horizontal stretching or melting under heavy friction. Athletes can execute aggressive lateral cuts, jump rope routines, and cone drills safely. The 5mm foam pad absorbs G-force impacts, reducing joint stress on knees, ankles, and the lower back compared to bare concrete floors. The dense 137 oz. face weight easily withstands the high-torque twisting action of a batter's stance without shedding fibers or creating loose holes.
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Performance Choice (Model AT755) installations rely on precise technical methods. Because this commercial-grade athletic turf features an integrated 5mm polyurethane foam backing cushion and requires zero loose infill, the preparation, chemical bonding, and layout workflows differ significantly from standard landscape grass. The indoor concrete slab must be fully cured (minimum 28 days), clear of curing compounds, and tested for moisture vapor emissions. Any dips or low spots must be filled with a self-leveling cement compound to prevent air pockets under the foam cushion. Use a full-spread, high-bond, low-VOC polyurethane turf adhesive applied with a 1/16" x 1/16" x 1/16" square-notched trowel. Water-based adhesives must be avoided as humidity or sweat migration can weaken the bond over time. Immediately after laying the turf into the wet adhesive bed, the entire surface must be rolled with a 75 lb to 100 lb segmented linoleum roller. Roll in multiple directions (north-south and east-west) to guarantee 100% adhesive transfer to the foam backing and eliminate trapped air bubbles.
- 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) Performance Choice synthetic turf is covered by a standard 8-year limited manufacturer material warranty. Because Performance Choice is engineered as a high-performance, sand-free nylon indoor gym and athletic agility turf, its warranty terms focus heavily on specific material degradation thresholds, wear patterns, and installation environments. It guarantees against significant fading, fiber breakdown, or structural rot resulting directly from ultraviolet light exposure. (Even though it is optimized for indoor training facilities, it carries a standard 7-to-8 year UV rating across all colored nylon variations). Covers premature splitting, cracking, or degradation of the specialized 5mm foam cushion backing matrix under normal physical use. Protects against massive "fiber shedding" where individual nylon monofilament yarn bundles pull completely out of the secondary scrim backing under standard traffic conditions.

Is STi Performance Choice Right For Your Project?
Synthetic Turf International (STI) Performance Choice is a premium, high-density non-infill sports turf specifically engineered for indoor athletic facilities, commercial gym builds, and multi-sport training centers. It is manufactured with a heavy yarn weight for elite durability and comes backed by an integrated 5mm closed-cell foam cushion pad designed to protect an athlete's joints during high-impact training routines. The heavy yarn weight resists the severe friction generated by twisting cleats, repetitive batting stances, and ball impact tracking within commercial hitting tunnels. Used to build smaller indoor training arenas and skills pods where natural-looking bounce, true foot traction, and safety cushion are required. Offers a versatile, uniform play area that quickly adapts to youth sports camps, field hockey drills, and general field agility work. The texturized, low-friction pile design allows heavy metal fitness sleds (such as Prowlers) to glide consistently without shredding the backing or melting the fibers.
