I'm not doubting you... but I'd like to read it.

I never heard a player in my life that preferred artificial turf. Most hate it. All you do is nurse rug burns from day one until.... well, the rest of your life, they never fully heal.

Never heard a player ever that didn't say hitting artificial turf is like hitting concrete. The rubber pellets help, but not even close to enough.

It's scorching hot. Last year at Reedley J. C. I actually saw the turf "melt", YES.. literally MELT, the soles off more than a few players' football shoes... my grandson was one of them.

Plus it's UGLY.... it looks fake because it is fake. Of course, this last is just personal opinion.
