TRUHOP
Designed specifically for baseball performance, Shaw Sports Turf set out to engineer the ultimate baseball field. With feedback from Hall of Famer John Smoltz, TruHop was created. The result was TruHop, the closest thing to natural grass. Its revolutionary design mirrors the real thing in terms of playability and performance yet provides durability that natural grass just can’t rival. TruHop can be engineered with various pile heights and infill ratios to fit each performance area of the field. Shaw Sports Turf provides a surface that is always ready and allows the team to prepare and practice when needed without the threat of cancellation or delay. TruHop is similar to a five-tool player in baseball. A five-tool player is one who can field, throw, run, hit for average, and hit for power. In synthetic turf, a five-tool system is one that has great aesthetics, is always available, provides performance and durability, allows reduced maintenance and is safe.
