Dr. Evan Mascitti, Senior Engineer At Biocore, joins the turf guys in an epic conversation on firmness. Evan explains the intricacies of field firmness and traction, and how the soil AND plant properties influence these measures. The show takes a look at some recent data collected using The Beast, that shows how different surfaces perform under traction testing. We discuss how Biocore collects actionable data for NFL teams and grounds managers to improve athlete safety, and the importance of simulating the forces those specific athletes apply, which is often in excess of 200% of their bodyweight!
