What is G-Max?
A. G-Max is the value given to the shock attenuation value, or hardness of the surface. The higher the number, the harder the playing surface. Natural grass fields have an average G-Max rating of approximately 80-140, depending on the moisture in the soil. A muddy grass field will have a G-Max value of approximately 65 and a frozen grass field will have a G-Max value of approximately 225. If coaches and players have a preference, Academy Sports Turf will be able to attain any specified G-Max value.
