When using pressure-treated 2x4 lumber for edging, I usually prefer the stakes sold at the big box store alongside the 1x4 recycled plastic bender board. However, they were almost cheap each, so I decided to give these a try. My only complaint is that there is a little "give" along the 12-inch length; they are not as stiff as a wooden stake or the bender board stakes. Despite that, they are very strong. I hit them into pretty hard ground with a 4-pound hammer, and they did not break or even "mushroom" from the pounding. The pre-drilled holes are a bonus and a time saver (I always pre-drill most everything). Placing them about 4 feet apart on centers, they do a great job holding the lumber securely. I'm pleased and saved several dollars.
Our artificial grass putting greens are designed and manufactured to replicate the real putting greens as perfectly as possible. By that said, with all the testings we have done, our putting greens provide very consistent ball rolling and speed. On any of our putting green's bare surface, you can easily achieve a ball speed of 8 to 9 ft., if you need faster speed, simply adding more infills and you can get it the speed up to 14 or so. As you might have known that pro gofer, Bernhard Langer has our putting green products installed in his house and he absolutely likes the performances of them all: he has different putting greens from us.
