"Especially the sustainable aspect of the product was an important argument in our decision to invest in ProPlay."
“Synthetic turf fields without performance infill only succeed when combined with shock pads that create a natural grass feel for the player.”
ProPlay shock pads turned out to be the only way for the field to meet those stringent KNVB requirements. If we had had to excavate that subbase and replace it, we would have violated our sustainability principles."
"The major advantage of the ProPlay shock pad is that it is easier and faster to install. There is no need for specialised equipment or personnel, allowing our partners worldwide to install the system efficiently themselves.”

The reason for that is simple: an important performance component in the system has been reduced or even left out. With a decreased reliance on infill, the shock pad has become an important component in delivering exceptional field performance. Depending on the type of elasticity of the surface, Schmitz Foam has the right shock pad for your needs. ProPlay comes in an above average thickness and density to reach the desired elasticity for its application.
