Four short-pile, texturized products at a ½″ pile height, from 40 oz to 47 oz face weight. Two in nylon on rubber backing, two on polyurethane.
Putting and bocce surfaces are specified differently from landscape turf. Pile height is fixed short across all four products at ½″, and the variable that matters is what the fiber is made of and what sits underneath it.
NylonForce 47 and NylonForce S 47 are texturized nylon on rubber backing — embossed rubber on the first, white rubber on the second. Nylon is the stiffest of the three fiber types in the Keep It Green Turf line, which is what keeps a surface consistent under repeated foot traffic.
Pro Putt 42 and TXT 40 run on a 20 oz polyurethane secondary backing over a 13/13 primary, in texturized polypropylene and texturized polyethylene respectively.
All rated for putting greens and bocce courts.
With pile height fixed, the specification comes down to fiber type and backing.

The differences here are in the fiber and the backing, which a spec sheet can only half describe. Request swatches and feel them.
