The most important reason is because the fibers cannot stand upright on their own. In-fill is also required to help prevent the fibers from becoming matted down. Adding the wrong in-fill to a putting green will equate to periodic maintenance, despite claims to the contrary.</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&#8226; Heavily sand-filled greens&nbsp;may become hard over time, and will require a little more maintenance to provide good performance. These sand-filled turf products require 2-12 pounds of sand per sq. ft. (depending upon fiber length), and must be brushed and re-filled with sand if the sand-fill becomes compacted or washed away.</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">To help <u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">eliminate</u> the compaction issuses, try to use a <strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">uniform sized material</u></strong> for your in-filling applications.&nbsp; It will cost a little more, but it will not compact.</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&#8226; With the right sand-fill, polypropylene provides an excellent surface for receiving long approach shots. (The sand-fill helps disperse the energy of a ball when hit into a green from any significant distance.)&nbsp; The longer the fiber (IE: &gt;2&#8221;), the more sand in-fill and the better holding capability the green will have for long chip shots (over&nbsp;150 yds).</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&#8226; Putting on a sand-filled turf does have a drawback however. If not installed correctly, yYou&nbsp;might experience a "grainy" effect when you putt on a sand-filled turf. This means that the ball will roll faster with the grain than against the grain. This effect will occur with most polypropylene products that you choose reguardless of fiber length.&nbsp; </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#800040" size="4">* The exception to these rules is our new "<font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#408000" size="5">Super Poly</font>" which is omni-directional!

We advise&nbsp;customers that size of the green is more important than the style of putting green surface.&nbsp;When you play at a golf course, the greens are between 3,000 to 9,000 sqft.&nbsp;There is plenty of room to hold almost any type of shot.&nbsp; If you install a green in your yard, it will most likely be much smaller in size.&nbsp; All of our synthetic putting green&nbsp;surfaces will hold a chip shot, but not if your green is 12' x 12' and you are chipping from 150 yds out.&nbsp; To hold a chip shot from 60 yds out, you should have at least 600 sqft of putting green surface to handle the ball's roll out (unless you have a perfect back-spin on the ball).&nbsp; Smaller greens are great for putting practice and Bump &amp; Runs. For long shots, it would&nbsp;be more cost efficient to place a target (broomstick or flag) in your yard and chip to it since you are mainly working on distance &amp; target training.&nbsp;Use your&nbsp;putting green to specifically&nbsp;work on your short game.</font></div> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">A <strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Nylon</strong> surface will always give you the <u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">most realistic</u>&nbsp;putting green surface hands down.

Size of the green is the most important factor. If you install a smaller sized green (15' x 15') and chip from 20 yds, you might have too much ball roll if you do not put a spin on the ball.&nbsp; The farther the chip shot is going to be, the larger your putting green surface needs to be to contain the roll out or choose a putting green surface that has more infill which diffuses the force of the shot and allows the ball to "stick" better to the green.</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><em aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"></u></em>&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">The next best surface is&nbsp;our <strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><a aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" href="https://oms.nexternal.com/Shared/OrderMgmt/htmledit/Http//shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1225">Super Poly</a></strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The length of the fibers is longer than the nylon and additional in-fill is required during installation.

All poly surfaces (except our Super Poly) have a grain that needs to be removed (straightened) by sweeping infill between the fibers&nbsp;that stand them straight up.&nbsp; If done correctly, it is an ok surface for putting but excellent for holding chip shots.&nbsp; Poly greens are less expensive to purchase but require additional time and labor to install over nylon (&amp; Super Poly)surfaces.&nbsp; </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">As far as the fringe turf goes, an non-rectangler&nbsp;green will have a lot of wasted fringe material over a rectangler shape.&nbsp; The best way to plan this out is by using pieces of paper and make it to scale.&nbsp; Lay out your green, then overlay a rectangle shaped paper to simulate the fringe turf.&nbsp;You will find that there is a lot of wasted material when making the green non-rectangler.&nbsp; But since you are only going to do this once, make it the way you really want it if budget allows.&nbsp; If you&nbsp;go over budget, then cut back on the fringe&nbsp;material or use&nbsp;natural seed or sod as your fringe.</div> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" size="4"></font></strong>&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#0000ff"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">For indoor applications</strong></font>: Select the <u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">12' wide 3/16" OnePutt Nylon</u></div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#0000ff"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">For DIY on a budget</strong>:</font> Select the <u aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">12' wide 5/8" Premium Poly</u></div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#0000ff"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">For&nbsp;a realistic putting &amp;
