Phantom tines are an excellent resource to help alleviate some organic matter and a little compaction without being disruptive to players or needing to close Greens, a major renovation would take 5% of organic matter at one time where Phantom tines take 1% at a time. They can be used frequently throughout the year to achieve a healthy green to keep uptaking air, water and nutrients whilst remaining in play. In 2018 when we first engineered the original micro Phantom7 for procore with 3/8 Mts,  Turf managers requested a small phantom tine for vertidrain, weidenmann and Toro SR with a 12mm Mt so we engineered and delivered the Phantom9 tine a 9.5mm OD with a 5.5mm ID micro tine for Greens, this has been well received by all that use them to keep the Greens in play and the ball rolling.
