Question
1
How is the Mirage Turf different from other synthetic turf?
Answer 1
The difference between Mirage turf fibers and other synthetic turf begins
with the manufacturing process. Our fibrillated turf fibers are
manufactured to interlock each other, creating a realistic bent fiber
look, just like "real bent grass" greens.
Note: Most
sand-filled synthetic turf have straight end fibers that must 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 sand in-fill, and it putts a true 10 on a PGA
speed green stimp meter. 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).

Question
2
How does the Mirage Turf hold up in
an outdoor environment?
Answer 2
Mirage Turf is assembled using the finest UV-treated polypropylene,
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 in the cold, freezing
climates of Canada and the hot arid deserts of the American west.

Question
3
Is the Mirage Turf maintenance free?
Answer 3
When was the last time you owned something that was totally
"maintenance free?" Our putting surface is
"hassle-free." Mirage non-sand filled turf is as maintenance
free as it gets. 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
"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.

Question
4
Why shouldn’t I install a real grass putting green?
Answer 4
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.

Question
7
Can I chip onto my Mirage Putting Green?
Answer 7
Yes! Our special shock-absorbing underbase, coupled with the spring action
inter-locking fibers, makes our surface "check-up," just like
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 any different. Our greens are as close to a real tour
green as it gets. |

Question
8
On large custom greens, will the seams split apart over time?
Answer 8
No! Mirage Putting Greens seams will not split apart. Our seams and our
turf are glued down to our proprietary base. We do not loose-lay our turf
on rock or soil. Our turf is glued down, using our proprietary space-aged
underbase system. This process is unique to our company only, and is
called our "FirmTrack StyroCrete/Epoxy System." |

Question
9
Is Mirage Turf the same style synthetic turf that you see installed on
miniature putt-putt courses?
Answer 9
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. |
