hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re learning
more about artificial turf as a playing
surface what are the benefits to
athletes for playing on the surface
performance we’ve seen a lot of high
profile NFL n-c-double-a even high
school players come out and say they
love playing on the surface it’s always
consistent at times easier to see you
know the lines on the field there’s no
surprises with natural grass you get a
lot of mud bowls as they say with
football divots rainouts so you know
players and coaches love it what would
you say are the differences between
playing on artificial grass versus
natural grass one big difference
playability wises energy restitution
when players cut clients and release on
field turf they get you know optimal
energy restitution ball roll is actually
ideal on fielder sports like soccer for
example baseball you know you don’t want
any bad hops isn’t acting more likely to
graze on artificial turf like for
example what a sliding tackle be more
painful or dangerous no that’s not what
we’re seeing from players at all levels
in all sports right now you might get
some bruises and cuts but basically
that’s been proven to be safer even the
natural grass when it comes to major
injuries which professional sporting
teams use field turf in their venues
currently 21 of the NFL’s 32 teams play
and/or practice on field turf there’s
three MLB teams using field turf many of
the professional soccer teams in Europe
train on it there’s about seven MLS
teams using field turf more in the USL
right now as well so basically we’re
seeing at all levels and all
professional levels what about playing
during extreme weather conditions you
can play during winter you can play
right after a rain fall and obviously
play in the sunshine it really is you
know an all-weather field thank you very
much you’re welcome my pleasure
