An in-depth look at the current testing method used to measure rotational resistance and traction, and how IT is failing to provide realistic simulations of athlete-to-surface interaction. Stability, consistency, and adequate traction with appropriate cleat release...
Improved Methods for Measuring Rotational Resistance in Artificial and Natural Grass Playing Surfaces. A number of sophisticated devices have been developed to measure rotational resistance and traction for artificial and natural grass playing surfaces. These devices...
