Target Technologies has introduced Shock 'n Drain shock attenuation pad, made with cross-link, closed-cell/co-polymer (virgin) PE material.

New generation of synthetic turf shock & drainage pads

The best artificial/synthetic sports turf surfaces rely on highly-complex, engineered systems as the starting point for their success. When you utilize top-quality materials to build a system the result is an optimal playing surface – praised by teams and coaches alike. In recent years the addition of shock attenuation (absorption) pads has markedly enhanced the playability, safety and drainage of synthetic turf fields. Target Technologies has introduced Shock ‘n Drain shock attenuation pad, made with cross-link, closed-cell/co-polymer (virgin) PE material, to its line-up of quality synthetic turf materials.


Shock ‘n Drain pad was developed and designed to provide an ultimate base layer for artificial turf.  Various performance characteristics required to conform to criteria of certification bodies such as FIFA, UEFA, and local Football Associations have been incorporated into this next-generation shock pad product. Shock ‘n Drain shock pads meet not only the expectations of players but also football and soccer clubs, owners and stadium operators. With Shock ‘n Drain you get top performance, consistency, longevity and top-notch return on your synthetic turf field investment. For field installers, Shock ‘n Drain pad installs easily and trouble-free.
