What is an Infield Conditioner
There are a few major types of infield conditioners on the market today. The two main varieties are calcined clay products and vitrified clay. With both, clay particles are subjected to high heat so that they change in structure and become more stable. They also absorb moisture better and release it slowly, which helps drastically when you are trying to maintain a dry playing surface without causing cracking.
Infield conditioners can also help with stickiness and maintain the right consistency for cleats to gain traction without becoming stuck or sinking too much. This can have a big impact on game play, so it is very important to field maintenance to make sure you are using an effective conditioner and keeping up with infield maintenance.
