At the heart of our product design is the athlete. By understanding biomechanics, impact loads, and the needs of different athletes, we developed some of the first engineered shock pads designed specifically for sports. Guided by our principle, “play hard, land soft,” we’ve calibrated these pads to balance the speed and firmness athletes want with impact absorption for falls and tackles.

Our most robust shock pad, engineered for athletes 250+ lbs. and the forces of elite competition. Installed in NFL practice facilities nationwide, with a 25-year warranty and a Gmax guarantee below 120 for the life of the field.

The workhorse for high school and community fields. Lateral drainage moves over 500 inches per hour — faster than the turf above it — and the pad outlasts multiple turf replacements, lowering the cost of every future rebuild.

Proven impact protection for turf replacements and budget-conscious builds. Available from 14mm to 20mm with vertical drainage, and the recommended pad for the Brock Baseball System.

PowerBase PLAY50 shock pad full panel.
PowerBase Play 50 logo.

A 50mm shock pad built specifically for artificial turf playgrounds, rated for critical fall heights up to 9 feet. Cradle to Cradle Certified, no intentionally added PFAS, and installed in under a day.

PowerBase PLAY50 shock pad full panel.

The first single-layer shock pad to pass impact testing at 10–12 foot critical fall heights. One pad, one installation, for today’s tallest playground equipment — no stacking required.

BrockFILL pile.

Organic wood infill that replaces crumb rubber entirely. Runs up to 50°F cooler, delivers natural traction and cleat release, with no microplastics or coatings. Grown and processed in the USA.

We collected 378 responses from athletes across football, baseball, softball, soccer, and lacrosse—covering 5,000+ field uses on both new and older BrockFILL surfaces. Here’s what they had to say:

81%

Felt that the traction for pivoting and cutting on their field was as good or superior to other artificial turf fields.

65%

Prefer their field with a Brock pad and BrockFILL when compared to the natural grass fields they played on.

A soccer ball, football, baseball and lacrosse sticks

74%

Prefer an artificial turf field with BrockFILL when compared to other artificial turf infills.

57%

Noticed a marked reduction in temperature with BrockFILL compared to SBR.

Brock Products: Frequently Asked Questions

Brock USA manufactures shock pads installed beneath artificial turf and BrockFILL organic wood infill placed among the turf fibers. Brock’s product range includes the ShockPad Series, PowerBase YSR, PowerBase YSRXD, PowerBase PRO, and PowerBase PLAY50 and PLAY80, along with transitional wedges and Turfey products.

A Brock shock pad sits beneath the turf and provides an engineered layer for impact absorption. BrockFILL sits among the turf fibers and supports surface cooling, traction, and stability. Each component serves a different purpose within the complete synthetic turf system.

No. Brock manufactures components that work with artificial turf, including shock pads and organic infill. Brock collaborates with turf manufacturers, designers, and installers to help project teams select compatible components for sports fields and playgrounds.

A shock pad adds a dedicated impact-absorbing layer beneath the playing surface. Selecting a pad as part of the complete turf system helps designers address impact response alongside requirements for firmness, stability, drainage, and the intended activities.

BrockFILL is an engineered organic wood infill made from renewable plant material. Its particles are designed for use among artificial turf fibers, where they help manage surface heat and support footing. BrockFILL is certified through the USDA BioPreferred Program.

BrockFILL absorbs moisture into its wood particles and releases it through evaporation. Evaporation draws heat from the surroundings, helping cool the surface. The cooling effect depends on available moisture, weather conditions, and the complete turf system.

Choose a Brock shock pad based on the field’s intended use, athlete population, turf system, impact requirements, drainage design, and base conditions. Brock can help compare the ShockPad Series, PowerBase YSR, YSRXD, PRO, and PLAY products against project-specific needs.

PowerBase YSR combines impact absorption with perforations and continuous lateral drainage channels. PowerBase YSRXD offers additional drainage capacity for demanding conditions. PowerBase PRO provides a firmer response designed for higher-level athletic applications. The appropriate choice depends on the complete field’s performance requirements.

Yes. Brock offers products for artificial turf playground systems, including PowerBase PLAY50 and PLAY80. Playground surfacing must be selected and tested as a complete system to meet the equipment’s required fall height and applicable accessibility and performance requirements.

Yes. Brock shock pads allow water to pass through perforations or interconnected spaces within the material, depending on the product. PowerBase YSR and YSRXD also incorporate engineered lateral drainage pathways. The complete field still needs appropriate collection and discharge infrastructure.

Yes. Brock products can be considered during turf replacement, provided the existing base and proposed components are suitable. The project team should evaluate base stability, drainage, surface requirements, and compatibility before selecting the replacement system.

Some Brock shock pads can serve through multiple turf replacement cycles. Reuse depends on the pad’s condition, applicable product requirements, and compatibility with the new turf system. The existing pad should be evaluated before reuse is approved.

Yes. All Brock shock pads, transitional wedges, Turfeys, and BrockFILL are sourced and manufactured in the USA and are Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliant. Brock proudly sources and manufactures in Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.

Brock offers product-specific warranties. Coverage, duration, performance provisions, and installation requirements vary by product. Request the current warranty for the selected Brock product so the project team can review the terms that apply to its installation.

Brock provides product literature, specifications, installation guidance, and performance information to support design and product selection. Visit the relevant product page or contact Brock for documentation specific to the proposed turf system and application.

Contact sales@brockusa.com with the project location, intended activities, new-build or replacement status, proposed turf, and anticipated schedule. Brock can help identify product options and provide technical information for the design and installation team.
