Fulmonti is another star of the turf protected by our Up-Right® Anti-Cast Safety Strips, protection all day and all of the night.

Chris has been a leading advocate of our Anti-Cast Safety Strip technology ever since his involvement in the earliest trials of the product conducted in Australia.

When asked about the value of having the Up-Right® Anti-Cast Safety Strips installed, Chris recently stated, "Well, what price peace of mind.  It really is a silver bullet safety solution, an absolute no-brainer as far as I'm concerned."
