..........MATERIALS..........

STONE DUST - Michigan's locally available material.  Stone dust is a screened by product of a rock crushing operation.  The quality of the material is determined by the screen size, and the source of the material being crushed.  Eastern Michigan sources tend to be limestone. Western sources are the best - granite rock and northern also tend to be rock but have sand components that make them loose. Also northern sources are in low demand so the screen sizes tend to be coarse. Popular because of it's price and low maintenance product, it is a poor choice.  The player's perspective is that it is hard and abrasive.  Use of Turface MVP helps increase water retention, reduces glare, increases drainage and hardness.

MAR-CO INFIELD MIXES - Mar-Co Clay Infield mixes were developed specifically for baseball - designed to have the desirable features like drainage, water retention, and the resilient active materials enhance player's safety and playability aesthetics.  Be careful....every manufacturer calls their material an 'infield mix'.  Infield clay is a blended clay, sand and fired clay mix coming in three standard mixes:  light, standard and firm with a 15 and 20 series.
