Straightness: In order to achieve maximum cutting performance, a bed knife must be
perfectly straight. Even the slightest bow will result in less than desired performance. A bed
knife with a “smile” shape will cut on each end and not along the middle. On the other hand,
a bed knife with a “frown” will cut along the middle and not on each end. Turf Pride bed
knives are guaranteed to be perfectly straight without the need of grinding after attaching.
Thickness: With the Turf Pride premium knives, the over all thickness from one end to
the other is guaranteed not to vary more than .001”. In low cut settings even the slightness
difference in thickness will result in a deviation in cutting heights and will be more amplifi ed
the lower the cut. Turf Pride Premium bed knives will ensure a true golf ball roll on all
putting surfaces.
Hardness: Consistency of hardness is crucial in order to maintain an even and straight
wear pattern. This again is critical when mowing at lower heights.
