STRI SUCCESS

SIS Grass Lite, our 90mm hybrid surface product, was subjected to a series of tests conducted by one of the world’s leading sports turf consultancies – Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI). Key findings revealed, ‘ A 90MM STITCHING DEPTH PRODUCES A GOOD STANDARD SURFACE, WHICH CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY RENOVATED.’

As part of the trial at Long Ashton Golf Club, SIS Grass was installed at 90mm across different spacings onto the tee on the par 3 13th. SIS Grass has fibers stitched at a depth of 90mm, with 10mm of fibre above the surface. This means the product can be stitched into shallower, partly constructed field surface profiles, benefiting golfers by giving them a more consistent surface, leading to better playability.
