Pivot Performance Turf

TenCate officially kicked off a campaign for Pivot Performance Turf, inviting coaches, ADs, architects, parks and rec admins, and athletes to experience the future of synthetic turf—one that plays like natural grass, without the limitations. Our Pivot® Field Days bring the innovation to life, with biometric demos and real-time data confirming what our team already knows: Pivot is a gamechanger. Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this campaign to life—from R&D to field ops to marketing. You’re the reason the future feels this real.

The Rooster Tail! It may look dramatic in slow motion replays, a spray of black rubber erupting behind a tackle or a hard hit ball. But the “rooster tail” is not something we want to see from a well designed turf system. When there is too much infill in the turf system, the material becomes highly mobile. That leads to: • Inconsistencies across the field as infill migrates from one area to another • Uneven playing surfaces and changes in Shock Absorption, Gmax, and CFH, impacting both player performance and welfare • Increased risk of infill escaping the field and entering the environment Good turf system design tackles this by: • Increasing fibre density to hold infill in place • Compacting and positioning infill lower in the pile • Using a shockpad layer to reduce the amount of infill required AND • In the most advanced systems, removing the need for infill altogether The amount, shape, density, size and material type of infill can influence infill splash-out but none can fully eliminate the "rooster tail" effect unless you removal all infill. Reducing that fly-out means better consistency, lower maintenance, improved player performance, and reduced contamination into the environment. #SportsSurfaces #Turf #PlayerWelfare #Sustainability

The Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs have gotten a major field upgrade with Pivot Performance Turf, installed by Hellas, a TenCate company. Developed at the TenCate Center for Turf Innovation in the Netherlands, Pivot combines traditional sports and custom-engineered fibers for a natural grass look and feel. It's the perfect blend of innovation and performance, designed with input from college and pro athletes. We can't wait to see this cutting-edge surface in action at Origin Bank Field at Joe Aillet Stadium!

Springdale, Arkansas, needed 14 new fields that could handle heavy foot traffic, without the costly maintenance and constant upkeep. Enter Pivot Performance Turf. Engineered for durability, grass-like playability, and zero performance infill, Pivot checked every box: less maintenance, more play, and peace of mind for the city’s sports programs. The result? A reliable, game-ready surface that’s helping Springdale invest back into its community — and drawing in athletes from all over. See why they chose Pivot: https://lnkd.in/e4_mHp8M
