The stuff they have now with the rubber pellets is 1,000,000 times better than what they had when you played old man. :D

It is. My son plays on it during his football season, and it's as soft as padded grass, even softer in some cases.

Besides, you can maintain it better.

Artificial turf has come a long way.

But you do get all those rubber pellets in your shoes. That's an okay trade off compared to the skid burns you got with the cement artificial turf spray-painted in green.

you still get worse skid burns than grass and its not softer than really good grass fields but better than most of the practice fields ive been on lol the best thing is its consistent but sometimes the pellets are built up in one spot and if you are running full speed the turf monster gets you every time, either you drag your toe just a little and it digs in or as you push off it acts like beads on the floor and your foot just flys back spraying those things everywhere as you fall helpless for seemingly no reason.
