How to make better stripes?

[ProLikeJesus]

Hi, right now, me and my dad own two exmark lazers with their default stripping kits. They both do create an average looking stripe, but I want to know how can you make your stripes look better? Like how do the lawn care services stripe baseball fields so well? Is their an extra roller you can fit, or is their a better roller then the default one you can buy?

First of all it depends on the grass. Some types of grass stripe much better than others. Second, it's about laying the grass down in different directions. A roller attachment works best for this. There are prototypes on the Internet that you can make yourself if you do not want to buy one. They are kind of expensive.

This site will give you the basic concept. You can also use a heavy duty piece of rubber such as as 18 wheeler mud flap, piece of conveyor belt etc... You basically just need to rig something to push the grass down as you go. If you google homemade grass striping kit you will get a variety of ideas.
