Gmax testing has become universally recognised as a vital test in respect to player safety on artificial turf. Surface Performance offer gmax testing throughout the USA, including Georgia, to ensure all pitches are meeting ASTM F355 standards.

Gmax testing, or impact attenuation, measures the shock absorbed by the synthetic turf when impacted by a players torso or head. Gmax testing is considered to be a fundamental test to ensure athlete safety as injuries can be a direct result of impacting surfaces with extremely low shock attenuation.

Gmax testing is recommended biannually due to the numerous factors that can affect the qualities of the playing surface.
