With Spring and Summer baseball seasons upon us and athletes practicing long hours each week, it is important for coaches of all levels to be aware of what field surface their players are on. Many of the most common sports injuries are related to fatigue, which can be decreased with a sports surface that is specifically engineered for the types of movements baseball players take. Act Global tests its synthetic turf to ensure every detail of the turf matches up to the best natural grass fields with the additional advantages of increased frequency of usage, extra revenue generation, safety, longer playing sessions, and fewer canceled games.
Act Global’s artificial baseball grass systems have been tested for performance benchmarks against the 2017 World Series Champion’s natural grass field. The study of the Houston Astros’ field was conducted by an outside agency and reported on 8 test methods including shock absorption, deformation, energy restitution, gmax, head injury criteria, rotational friction/resistance, vertical ball rebound, and ball roll distance.
Previous to this study there was limited knowledge of baseball sport performance criteria and natural turf measurements. The technical assessment of the Houston Astros’ field provided key information to better understand the relationship between international synthetic turf standards and top-quality natural grass baseball fields.
In every facet of Act Global’s business culture, it has sought to address and service the needs of players with through its product. The exceptional quality of Act Global turf is a direct result of continuous investments in research and development, alongside benchmark and performance testing.

As summer months draw nearer, so too do the threat of annual water shortages and droughts and water restrictions. With temperatures rising it is important to be even more cognizant of your individual water usage.
The use of artificial grass helps save an estimated 3-6 million gallons of water each year. Each square foot of natural grass replaced with synthetic turf is estimated to save 55 gallons of water each year (2,200 liters saved per square meter). By minimizing the amount of water necessary to maintain athletic fields, home lawns, and commercial/municipal spaces, synthetic turf helps maximize land and resource usage. This becomes more and more important as the global supply of healthy and affordable water continues to diminish.
Act Global is committed to the preservation and protection of the planet through encouraging smart solutions to water utilization. In addition to offering a zero-water solution for natural grass, Act Global’s artificial grass is highly UV protected so that the fibers can withstand even the hottest climates. Act Global offers an array of turf systems that are environmentally-friendly, non-toxic, and can endure many years of use and play.
