Soft Base
On a soft base, you can choose any court. Your discs will stay new forever, assuring you of perfect sliding ability because, when they leave the plastic, they slide on a soft surface and do not scratch.
See some examples below.
Bad inatallations
Here is the conversation between the customers that bought the courts below after a while.
They called and said, « The players are complaining that your court is not good; it does not slide well like at the beginning. »
My answer to them is: « It is not the court, but your discs. » They are damaged because they scratch when they leave the plastic area and slide on the abrasive surface surrounding the court.
You needed a #1 or a #2, but you said, « Players will just push harder. »
My answer was that customers are always right. You can also buy new discs from time to time, but be aware that damaged discs will also damage your plastic surface.
