Premium Artificial Turf Solutions for Softball Fields

FieldTurf’s premium artificial turf solutions for softball fields deliver durability, natural ball-to-surface interaction, and comfort. With low maintenance and high playability, it’s a consistent playing surface that athletes at every level of the game can count on.

OUR ARTIFICIAL TURF SOFTBALL FIELDS

Our goal was simple: design an artificial turf softball field system specifically for the demands of the sport. But, like every road to greatness, creating the perfect softball surface took time and patience.

We started by testing and analyzing some of the nation’s elite clay, grass and synthetic turf facilities to study ball-surface interaction, speed and consistency. Then, we designed our new series to emulate the best results.

Our journey rewrote the book on testing and product development. Introducing our new softball line, TripleThreat Speed and TripleThreat Natural.

The Most Advanced Softball Field Turf Systems

FieldTurf’s journey to create the perfect softball field turf system had us push the boundaries of testing and product innovation like never before. We used a scientific approach to analyze ball-surface interaction on a variety of systems.

Through the use of advanced high-tech motion video cameras, we were able to translate what we found into real-life data. Never before has there been a way to build your synthetic turf softball field with such precision.

Using our three critical softball performance criteria - SPEED, LINE & BOUNCE – You can build your field to play fast or to play like a natural grass surface.

SPEED

Speed is a total average of the ball speed-in and ball speed-out at the bounce points. Measured in feet per second.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? The SPEED score allows you to select a system that either plays fast or plays like a natural surface.

LINE

Line is a total average of the ball bounce straightness variation. Measured in degrees.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? The LINE score indicates if the hop plays true.

BOUNCE

Bounce height is a total average of the max height obtained at the bounce points. Measured in feet..

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? The BOUNCE score indicates if the ball plays like a natural surface.

ToughBack

High-use areas are a challenge for any turf system, and synthetic softball and baseball fields are no exception. Cleats dig deep into the turf, right down to backing layers, often puncturing right through them. The damaged areas must then be replaced.

What’s the solution? Meet ToughBack, a unique layer applied to the system backing, resulting in a super tough layer once hardened.

FT VELCRO

Our Velcro system offers a quick and simple solution to replacing your batter and umpire areas around home plate. We equip you with the spare pieces upfront, allowing your team to exchange them when needed.

The FTVelcro system is also equipped with ToughBack, so your athletes can always play to the best of their abilities.

Why Choose Synthetic Turf for Softball?

A synthetic turf softball field provides a reliable, high-performance surface from early morning training to extra innings. Built for durability, safety, and playability, our systems hold up under heavy use while requiring less maintenance than natural surfaces.

CONSISTENCY

Consistent play across the entire diamond — advanced drainage keeps the field dry and playable in challenging weather conditions.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? Reliable surface performance regardless of the weather.

DURABILITY

Long-lasting durability thanks to high-performance fibers and infill systems that protect high-traffic zones like infields and batter’s boxes.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? Holds up under intense usage, reducing wear and tear.

MAINTENANCE

Lower maintenance needs — no mowing, watering, or chemical treatments.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? Saves time and effort while ensuring field readiness year-round.

COST SAVINGS

A cost-effective investment with reduced upkeep and no need for irrigation, fertilizers, or repairs.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT? Helps you save significantly over time while maintaining performance.
