    Abstract: A playing surface assembly that defines at least a portion of a playing surface. The playing surface assembly has a backing, a plurality of reinforcement elements secured to and extending upwardly from the backing, and an infill material defining a top surface of the playing surface assembly. Each reinforcement element has a top end and a reveal distance corresponding to a vertical spacing between the top surface of the playing surface assembly and the top end of the reinforcement element. The reveal distance of each reinforcement element is less than 0.5 inches. In use, the reinforcement elements restrict lateral and vertical migration of the infill material, and the infill material is the primary source of performance characteristics of the playing surface assembly.

    Abstract: Described are artificial turfs having a nonwoven backing layer and a plurality of turf fibers extending through the nonwoven backing layer such that a face side portion of the turf fibers extends from the face side of the nonwoven backing layer and a back side portion of the turf fibers extends from the back side of the nonwoven backing layer, wherein at least a portion of the back side portion of turf fibers are bonded to themselves. Also described herein are the methods of making the same.

    Abstract: A tufted article can have a length along a first axis and width along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The tufted article can comprise a backing and a plurality of tufts extending through the backing. The plurality of tufts can be distributed among a plurality of tuft sequences. Each tuft sequence can comprise at least one tuft of the plurality of tufts. The tufts of each tuft sequence can be formed sequentially by a single needle of a tufting machine. Each tuft sequence of the plurality of tuft sequences can be spaced from other tuft sequences of the plurality of tuft sequences along at least one of the first axis or the second axis. In some aspects, no tuft sequence of the plurality of tuft sequences extends across the entire length or the entire width of the backing.
