I have been on courses with Turfbreeze on every hole and now I have Precision on every hole. If you need fans either one is going to help. I think the setup and maintenance is simpler on a Precision, but that is just my opinion. Tom Michaels that invented the turfbreeze fan lives here in Birmingham and so a lot of courses here have them all the way back to the square ones he was making in his shop. He since sold the company to Sub Air. That being said, I now prefer the Precision's just because of the customer service. I can call and talk to Andy any time and get questions answered. Also, Andy at Precision will bend over backwards to get you a part if a fan goes down in the middle of the summer. I called him two summers ago with a oscillator motor out and they were on a 4 week back order. He called every customer of his, that had the same voltage fan, until he found someone that had a spare they didn't mind letting go, and sent them a call tag to ship it direct to me. I had it the next day. It's kind of like equipment; it will all get the job done, but at the end of the day it is who ever the distributor is that can get you taken care of the fastest when something goes wrong.
