🏟️ Coaches, athletic directors, and facility leaders — meet the next generation of turf. TenCate kicked off its national campaign with the first Pivot® Field Day in Lenexa, KS — transforming a local field into a “living lab.” Guests experienced Pivot® firsthand while biometric sensors captured real-time data confirming what they felt underfoot: Pivot plays like natural grass — but with up to 50% longer lifespan, no performance infill, and no black rubber pellets. For sports facilities, this means: ✅ Lower maintenance ✅ Safer, cleaner play surface ✅ Proven durability backed by an industry-first 12-year warranty 🔗 See how Pivot® is redefining expectations for sports turf: https://lnkd.in/gjfP8ZFj TenCate TenCate Americas #PivotPerformanceTurf #TenCate #SportsFacilityDesign #AthleticDirectors #SyntheticTurf #SportsInnovation #FieldMaintenance #Leadership

“For athletic directors, coaches and other decision-makers, being able to see and experience the performance firsthand is invaluable,” said Dr. Colin Young, Global Director of R&D at TenCate. “It confirmed that Pivot plays like grass, with data to match the experience.”
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.

With no extra recoil from performance infill, Pivot® is player-tested and athlete-approved for exceptional performance on the field.
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
