How is the Mirage Turf
different from other synthetic turf?
The difference between Mirage turf fibers and other synthetic turf
begins with the manufacturing process. Our specially designed spring
set turf fibers are manufactured to interlock with each other,
creating a realistic bent fiber look, just like "real bent
grass" greens.
Note:
Most deep sand-filled synthetic turf has straight end fibers that
must be sand filled and periodically rolled with a heavy
water-filled sod roller. Our turf fibers have been manufactured to
stand-up naturally. Unlike other synthetic fibers, our fibers have
been made with a dulled finish, rather than made shinny. This helps
create a natural, real looking green.
How Realistic Is Mirage Turf? Mirage Turf is so realistic, we
have manufactured "mower and grain pattern marks" in it!
Our new Mirage Tour-Putt™
requires no deep sand in-fill, and it putts the same speed as most
PGA greens. It is the most realistic synthetic bent-grass turf on
the market.
Mirage has three models of turf: one
that simulates a tournament green (bent grass), one
that simulates a country club green, and one
that simulates a municipal green (Bermuda grass).
How
does the Mirage Turf hold up in an outdoor environment?
Mirage Turf is assembled using the finest UV-treated polypropylene
& nylon, water-resistant fibers. Our turf carries a 10 year
limited warranty against excessive wear and fading, and resists
normal rain, snow, wind, freeze and sun. Mirage Turf has been
installed from the cold, freezing climates of Canada to the hot,
arid deserts of the American west, to the rainy, humid areas of
Hawaii and Florida.
Is
the Mirage Turf maintenance free?
When was the last time you owned something that was totally
"maintenance free?" Our putting surface is
"hassle-free". The Mirage non-sand filled turf is as
maintenance free as it gets, even when partially infill
assisted/weighted. Our specially designed, interlocking spring set
fibers help hold the infill in place, while stabilizing the root of
the fiber. Even our infill-assisted/weighted greens are virtually
maintenance free. Once installed, just keep the leaves and debris
off the surface, just like you would with a real putting green. You
can even vacuum our turf!!!
Don't be fooled by other companies that state their turf product is
totally "maintenance free." This is as far from the truth
as it gets. Unlike Mirage Turf, synthetic sand-filled greens require
periodic sanding, top dressing, sweeping and water rolling.
Why
shouldn't I install a real grass putting green?
Real bent grass putting greens are very expensive to install and
require expensive daily maintenance. Just ask a golf course
superintendent or anyone who has owed a real grass putting green
about the required maintenance, and I'm sure you will not want a
real bent grass green in your yard.
Can
a Mirage Putting Green be sculptured with breaks and undulations?
Yes! A Mirage Putting Green can be made to look just like real grass
tour greens.
What
size or shape can the Mirage Putting Green be?
Just about any size or shape you want can be constructed.
Can
I chip onto my Mirage Putting Green?
Yes! Our special shock-absorbing backing, coupled with the spring
action inter-locking fibers, makes our surface "check-up,"
similar to most real grass greens. Please keep in mind that no
synthetic putting surface will hold a ball exactly like a real tour
green, and don't let anyone tell you differently. Our greens are as
close as it gets to real grass greens. Just look at our customer
list and we're sure you'll agree.
On
large custom greens, will the seams split apart over time?
No! Mirage Putting Greens seams will not split apart. Our seams and
our turf are glued down to our proprietary base. We do not suggest
loose-laying our turf on rock or soil. When using our proprietary
space-aged underbase system, our turf is glued into place. This
process is unique to our company only, and is called our "FirmTrack
Liquid Florathane System."
Is
Mirage Turf the same style synthetic turf that you see installed on
miniature putt-putt courses?
No, absolutely not! Miniature golf turf is usually installed as a
glue down on a cement, and their fibers are short and not very
dense. They putt very fast, and the turf does not last very long.
Can
anyone install the Mirage Turf System?
No! Only certified and trained Mirage Dealers can install the Mirage
Turf System.
