Give it time

After a few seasons, the pellets sink in pretty good and are not so easily kicked up and into your shoes.

They have to add a layer of pellets after the first year, but from that point, nothing.

I just got hurt a few weeks ago on FieldTurf as I had on the Spotbilts (old ones) and some players rolled up on my leg and my foot stayed planted and the knee was the only thing that gave way. Don't know if it would have been different on grass or AstroTurf, but it was like my foot was nailed to the ground.

The AstroPlay has thicker, wider "grass" than FieldTurf. Gonna work on 'SprinTurf' on Monday. I wonder what that'll feel like.
