This picture is from the left side of home plate right after watering this morning. I always a have a little runoff that gathers back there. Well, I used to have runoff that used to soak the whole left side of the batters box. After I laid down the hilltopper, this is what I now get. The water beads up on it for at least an hour. I can go out and brush it away if I have too. That's pretty nice.
The only disadvantage I have found with hilltopper is that while it doesn't like to soak up water, it does soak up heat. Man, does it get hot. Not that playing ball in Arizona in 110 degree weather is an option but...going out there barefoot for a few hacks in the middle of the day can be real interesting. So now, it is definitely not a "shoes optional" playing surface. At least not during the daytime.
