I work a couple of fields with this turf. The first couple of years is the worst. The material is a recycled tire pellets. The biggest problem I have getting the pellets between my heel and sock and rubbing blisters. I didn't have many problems with getting the pellets on the balls when they got wet, but the field I called on last year was a couple of years old.
The plus side is that the turf is easy on the knees, always marked well and has absolutely no mud. I have never heard of the sand going on the top of the turf. Under the stuff, but never on top.

Was dumped on the ol grass/mud combo 20 years ago....thus "the pit"...new stuff is great, but those darn rubber pellets...I use my football shoes for base work on the BB field(3/4Reebock cleats) and I still got those things popping out of the inside of the shoe!! Turf is nice, and as you said, the knees and such don't get hammered....read in our local paper that we gonna have 4 more coming up!!!!
