Question 4

Why is the CushionX court surface at LPC so good?

Accepted Answer

The CushionX court system at LPC has a thin layer of cushion beneath the court surface. At a glance, the surface looks and feels just like a high-quality gritty outdoor pickleball court.

However, when scientifically tested, CushionX showed to have an impact resistance of 80 pounds. This is a very important feature of CushionX.

This means that the bounce of a pickleball is not negatively affected by this thin layer of cushion -- because a pickleball can't generate 80 pounds of force.

But our body's can generate 80 pounds of force (and much greater), and that's what provides the true health benefits of CushionX:

• Less wear and tear on joints 
• Especially beneficial for feet, ankles, knees, hips and back
• Faster recovery
• Less injuries 
• More time playing
