PICKLEBALL & COOLTOP
18 Oct 2024
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the world right now. CoolTop, by California Sports Surfaces, is the latest in acrylic court technology and the preferred playing surface of Pickleball Australia.
Using IR reflective pigment technology, CoolTop is designed to keep courts cooler so you can play longer. These reflective pigments help reduce surface temperature through solar reflectance, compared to standard competitor court surfaces, assisting in overall player comfort.
TESTING IN REAL WORLD ENVIRONMENTS
At the Yeppoon Pickleball Festival, temperatures rose to 30°C and above. 6 of the feature courts were surfaced with CoolTop, while the other 8 were left as is. The CoolTop court surface temperatures ranged between 34.4 and 38.1°C, while the existing courts reached 52°C.
CoolTop acrylic sports coatings match California Sports Surfaces quality standards for surface speed performance and long-term durability. This high-performance system will provide the same quality performance and surface playability expected from the California Sports surface brand of products.
"Having played pickleball outdoors on many surfaces and now experiencing playing on a surface that has reflective pigments, I feel the change, it takes the heat off me so I can put it into my play."
KEL RASMUSSEN FORMER DIRECTOR, PICKLEBALL ASSOCIATION AUSTRALIA
