Sport Group + LAYKOLD

Official Surface of the US Open

From the US Open, the Miami Open hailed as tennis’ 5th Slam, the WTA finals and many more international events, colleges and clubs around the world, Laykold provides the playing surfaces at the heart of the world’s biggest and best tennis events.

Through dedicated scientific innovation, Laykold has proven that a court surface is more than just paint and that the game deserves better.

Laykold’s proven pace precision makes our courts 10x more consistent than the industry standard. We have tapped into 30 years of exhaustive R&D and surface testing to develop a formulation database that enables our scientists to perfect how to dial in pace ratings. This allows speed to be tailored to individual tournaments to within 0.5 of a point.

Our innovative Gel courts, with their sustainable force reduction technology have been developed as part of our commitment to player welfare and environmental sustainability and are the only courts to hit the tennis sweetspot - the point at which the right levels of force reduction for the body are balanced with the optimal energy return levels for player performance.

In collaboration with RecycleBalls, we are the only tennis court manufacturer to repurpose old balls into new courts helping to off-set the carbon equivalent of 26,000 cars.

Our commitment to science and innovation has made Laykold the court surface of choice for the most Grand Slams and ATP/WTA tournaments as well as forward-thinking tennis facilities around the world.

Applications include: Tennis, padel, pickleball, basketball, netball, futsal/soccer, multisport and indoor.
