Brock reduces G-max more than rubber pads and e-layers under head impact loads. However, since pads and e-layers reduce surface stiffness under low loads by as much as 39% when compared to stone, fields using pads and e-layers feel noticeably softer to the athlete which results in higher fatigue levels and related physiological and performance issues.
