WHY the Pitching Rubber

Beacon Athletics Testing Results
“Just finished a year long test of the Bulldog Pitching Rubber at our Field Maintenance Research Site in Madison, WI. The site has 3 fields, each of which host over 400 events (games, clinics & practices) per year so they see over 800 hours of use. We installed a Bulldog Pitching Rubber in the main mound of the 90' diamond which hosts baseball from ages 13 - 16 yr olds with both metal and rubber spikes used. We packed the bore in the pitcher's block with mound clay during the install process. The results? Absolutely NO bubbling on the surface of the pitching rubber was observed. The thicker rubber, in the Bulldog Rubber, with the smaller bore appears to have answered all of the problems that most present day pitching rubber blocks have. In the past, the other pitching rubber blocks were easily malformed and bubbled during the course of one season. The quality of the rubber used to make the Bulldog appears to be also of good quality as metal spikes used by the pitchers did mostly minor damage to the front edge of the pitching rubber. “ Paul Zwaska , Technical Sales Support Beacon Athletics

Comparison of BFE pitching rubber vs others
BFE
• Cost $250
• Last 2-3 seasons
• Can use 3-4 sides with NO bowing & twisting
• Reduced labor, product, & shipping costs for the season
Others
• Cost $120
• Last less than half a season
• Can only use 1 side before bowing & twisting
• Increased labor, product, & shipping costs to place during season

Fixing the Hardness Issue
• Testing of different rubber combinations

Testimonial #1
Our rubbers, while holding their shape and position extremely well, have likewise experienced some wear, but not to the extent of the pictures you attached. I did a 180 degree flip of the game mound rubber last week just to establish a clean front edge since I was doing some mound work anyway. What our rubbers have shown is a lot of surface, cleat mark indentions, which is more cosmetic than anything else. With the enhanced hardness of your new rubbers, I think your product will continue to flourish. I will be purchasing two more in the off-season (to replace our other bullpen). Keith Winter, Fort Wayne TinCaps

Testimonial #2
We are experiencing similar wear but on the back portion of the rubber. It’s kind of peeling off like paint would from a wall. We have very slight indentations from spikes, but other than that she’s a beast. I’m very happy with it and on Wednesday had some talked with the Greensboro Grasshoppers about your rubber. They are having difficulties with theirs and had to flip it prior to the start of the ACC Tournament. I told them they needed to order 5 of yours! Scott Strickland, Durham Bulls Baseball Club

Testimonial #3
Chad the pitching rubber did great at softball. It looks better than the picture shows. The worn area at the front is from visiting pitchers trying to dig. Of course if you can make it stronger that would be great. Overall I am happy with my purchase. Craig Potts, University of Texas A & M

Ugly Dogs We inspect each pitching rubber and have some rubbers that
have some small defects such as a few dimples, discolorations, and/or some edges that are not perfectly square.

STC Maintenance Guidelines
"Maintenance of an infilled synthetic surface is essential to maintain its
appearance and to provide consistency of play, permeability and longevity."
![Page 92: New Trends and Technology in Sports Turf - STMA](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020704/61fb699d2e268c58cd5dde1c/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
G-max represents the shock absorbency on a turf field.
Over time, turf can become hard due to compaction and
infill loss, which increases g-max.

• Organic matter, soil phosphorus and potassium levels increased
after NS application.
• Tissue iron levels were higher in the NS plots throughout the 4
month experimental period.
• Tissue nitrogen levels remained equivalent to the standard
practice.
• Ground water nitrate levels near the NS plots dropped, whereas
levels near the GP plots increased during the 3 month study.
• Superintendent’s observation was that the NS plots were more
uniform and dense than the GP plots.

Why Blends and Mixtures?
• No single variety is perfect
• Balance strengths and weaknesses
• Blends can be tailored for individual sites
• Mixtures (2 or more species) can increase
diversity
