Why choose Laykold for your college?
-
Laykold is the official court surface of the US Open and has been trusted and chosen by four of the world’s top six hardcourt tournaments. We provide the playing surface for the most Grand Slams and ATP/WTA 1000 tournaments so you can have Grand Slam quality on your campus.
-
Laykold is the only court surface made with ISO 9001, 14001 and 5001 certifications. Our product and manufacturing excellence allow us to offer the longest warranties in the business, which means your college court performs better, for longer.
-
Because of the proprietary blend of sand in our courts we can dial in court pace precision to 0.5 of a point. This unprecedented accuracy gives up and coming players the speed and consistency they need to progress.
-
Hardcourt tennis doesn’t need to be hard on the body. Laykold Gel systems deliver 17% force reduction and Masters 5 courts give 14%, minimizing player fatigue and injury. This is especially key for young players whose bodies are still developing. Our courts support their growth, maintaining 98% of this force reduction for their lifetime (10+ years).
-
After hours of R&D and player testing, Laykold scientists have hit the tennis court sweet spot; the point at which the right levels of force reduction for the body are balanced with the optimal energy return levels for player performance. Our Laykold Gel systems deliver 17% force reduction and 70% energy return. This tennis court sweet spot safeguards player welfare whilst giving energy back to tired legs.
-
Laykold has the most court colors available in the industry. From US Open Blue to fully customized colors for your college we can provide Grand Slam quality with an identity that is unique to you.
-
Heat is a huge problem in tennis. But don’t sweat. Laykold’s latest innovation uses nano-technology to reduce the court surface temperature by up to 30%. Laykold Chill tech, our patented court temperature reduction technology, has undergone rigorous testing in the harsh Australian climate and debuted at the 2024 WTA500 Abu Dhabi Open. If you are based in a state that experiences high temperatures, this could revolutionize student welfare.
-
The only courts to use recycled balls in the base coat, Laykold also uses plant-based materials in its court formulas and is the only US-based company to hold ISO 14001 environmental certification. The gel layer in Laykold Gel courts is made from 60% renewable resources. Choosing Laykold for your college will help to sustain the game for future generations.
-
Our courts are manufactured in the USA to US Open standard and are available across the States via our highly experienced local installation partner network.
