Non-filled Sports Grass

The cornerstone of all sports surfaces is predictability:

Whether it’s elite professional athletes or grassroots athletes, when athletes step onto the field, they look forward to one fundamental principle: trust the surface they are stepping on.

Different sports require specific surface characteristics, such as specific grip, ball characteristics, and shock absorption. However, one factor remains critical to performance and safety across all ages, abilities, and sports: predictability.

Extensive research and independent athlete studies have shown that the most valuable quality of any sports surface is its consistency. It’s not just about how hard or soft the surface is, how fast or slow it is, etc… it’s about whether it performs consistently with every load, in all positions, and throughout the season.

If the surface is not designed properly, you will see an unpredictable, directionless ball roll.

Natural turf performs exceptionally well when professionally maintained. Experienced field managers go to great lengths to ensure that the surface performs evenly and reliably despite the challenges of weather conditions and usage.

At the same time, turf systems, especially non-infill turf designs, have the inherent advantage of providing long-term, stable performance. With no loose infill layers, there is less risk of displacement or compaction, which reduces the risk of local variations. In addition, when managed properly, all turf pitches offer a high degree of repeatability from training to match day, giving everyone confidence and enjoyment.

Gobo artificial turf is developed in close collaboration with athletes, coaches and sports scientists to define true consistency in real-world play. Our systems are validated through rigorous testing regimens that simulate repetitive motion, mechanical wear and changing environmental conditions.

Repeatability and reliability are critical, regardless of pitch type or level of play.

A well-designed artificial turf, whether grass or turf, should blend into the background, allowing players to fully focus on the game. A truly exceptional pitch is an extension of the sport: predictable, consistent and trustworthy.

These qualities are the foundation for safe participation and efficient performance every time you step onto the pitch.
