    Quick syringe right ahead of it.

    Try using a surfactant like DewCure. It will help stop the dew from forming in the morning giving you a drier cut and less sand pick up. You could also try to dry cut them in the late morning afternoon hours.

    Try the product SPEED from Persision Labs. See what the atachment has to offer.

    We spray our rollers and bedknives down with snowplow wax. My current Director used it at his previous club, and was a trick I was showed by a friend and former employer in Florida. Works pretty well, we just spray our units with a coating after we do our daily adjustments. I also spray the units when we're doing dry cuts in the afternoon. Might be worth checking out as it seems to work well for us.

    Regards,

    Quick syringe works the best. I'll even set the controllers the first weekend after aerificatiom to syringe ahead of my mower for a descent cut on that first weekend of play. Streaky sand is the worst!
