SCIENCE FAQ
01
What does AeroLift stand for scientifically?
AeroLift is built around a simple standard: we only pursue solutions that can be proven through controlled scientific trials and stand up to independent peer review. A better repair should do more than make the surface look smooth. It should protect the root zone, support water and nutrient movement, and improve the living environment of golf courses over time. If a method cannot show that kind of measurable ecological benefit, it does not belong in the brand.
02
Why does lifting from below matter?
A ball mark is compressed soil and bent turf sitting above living roots. If the repair keeps those roots connected, the area should move water and nutrients more normally and recover with less follow-up work. At scale, if millions of golfers adopt a repair that protects that flow, the effect compounds: each mark becomes one more spot where water and nutrients can move through the root zone instead of meeting another damaged patch.
04
What happens after thousands of uses across different greens?
Scale testing should look for cumulative effects, not a single clean repair. The study needs repeated use across bentgrass, bermuda, poa annua, sandier and heavier root zones, wet and dry soil, hot and cool climates, and different maintenance programs. The key measurements are whether repeated subsurface pulses change pH, moisture movement, root density, surface firmness, recovery speed, discoloration, or disease susceptibility after hundreds or thousands of repairs.
03
What still needs to be tested?
Testing should show whether the cone seals cleanly on bentgrass, bermuda, and poa annua greens; whether wet, dry, soft, and tournament-firm root zones need different pressure; whether the cartridge holds the same pressure curve when it is full, half-used, and near empty; and whether repeated repairs leave roots intact, keep the surface level, and avoid discoloration or slower recovery over the following days.
05
Where else could the subsurface method apply?
The same treatment method could be studied anywhere the problem is shallow compaction rather than missing material: turf traffic scars, compacted seedbeds, nursery plugs, sports-field divots, and small restoration zones where surface tools risk tearing roots. The transferable question is whether a controlled lift from below can reopen pore space, improve water and nutrient movement, and reduce follow-up repair without disturbing the living surface layer.
