ProGame XC shock pads have achieved full patent protection of the product and process in manufacturing. The full patent status for the XC Series recognises the unique features and performance of the XC Series shock pad product in artificial pitch systems.<\/p>\n
Shock pads are an integral part of a modern artificial sports pitch system. The unique performance features of the XC Series shock pads provide benefits for both the construction and the lifespan of artificial sports pitches.<\/p>\n
ProGame has been an integral shock pad partner in the installation of more than 1,000 sports pitches over the last 15 years in over fifty countries worldwide.<\/p>\n
The key benefit of using the patented ProGame XC shock pad in pitch systems is the extremely high dimensional stability of the XC Series despite temperature changes during the day. The XC Series\u2019 unique cut pattern also provides a very flexible shock pad to install and is highly appreciated for its unique dimensional stability in any physical environment.<\/p>\n
When used as part of an approved pitch system, the patented XC Series shock pad has a warranty of up to 24 years; that\u2019s twice the current lifespan of the top layer carpet. This extended warranty on the lifespan also significantly reduces the costs and the environmental impact of replacing artificial pitch systems.<\/p>\n
ProGame conducts product testing at the highest level, both internally and externally. Systems incorporating the XC Series shock pads are approved by FIFA (Quality and Quality Pro standard), World Rugby and FIH (Global, National and Multi-sports categories). Using these systems helps ensure that pitches fulfil highest quality standards, allowing them to be certified by international sports federations.<\/p>\n
