AWT doesn't lessen injuries, it is producing different types of injuries.

seems this is ground we've trod over in the past....

pricci asked the question, " If synthetic tracks can't significanty prevent injuries and are more difficult and expensive to maintain than originally projected, why do it?"

i'd say it's a good question.

i think most of the tracks who switched did so to save money-since the surfaces were supposed to cut way down on needed maintenance, as well as keeping fuller, bettable fields when turf gets rained off.
