Chosen by: Serena Williams home training court, Pat Rafter home training court, Korean National Olympic Training Center.

• 17% force reduction (a traditional hard court only has 3%)

• 70% energy restitution (comparable to a traditional hard court)

• Retains 98% of force reduction for 10+ years

• Made from 60%+ renewable resources

• US Open-quality top coats

• 5-year warranty

• A Gel Plus variation provides additional shock absorption (not available in all markets)

The Gel is created by blending plant oils and converting them into a polyurethane using a natural enzyme process. This is efficient, natural and uses very little electricity.

The Gel layer is very thin, and stays in liquid form that is encapsulated in a resilient solid matrix which does not break down. This uniquely provides very long-lasting cushioning resilience, 98% over 10 years. Essentially the force reduction (17%) never ends, which gives an excellent performance return on the investment.

Because it is extra thin and delivers area deformation, the Gel layer is able to return the athletes’ energy instantaneously (70% energy return), while removing the traditional hard court shock that normally returns into the body causing pain, injuries and fatigue.

This unique combination of 17% down & 70% back delivers the perfect combination of ‘happy knees & fast feet’.

“As a teaching pro I have noticed my legs feel less fatigued at the end of the day compared to the previous cushioned surface... we have a winner with Laykold Masters Gel.”

Its energy returning capability means the system doesn’t just absorb the force a player produces during play, it also returns that energy, reducing athlete fatigue.

Offering consistent, reliable footing with fence-to-fence force reduction that lasts 10+ years, our Pickleball Gel systems are also the greenest court systems in the world, delivering both enhanced environmental and player performance.

Firm, yet resilient our Pickleball Pro court systems provide surface consistency for maximised mobility.
