Hockey Turf
Artificial grass and hockey are inextricably
connected
Today artificial grass is synonymous with the sport of hockey. With the advent of artificial grass in the seventies, field hockey suddenly became much faster and became much more popular. The rules were revised, techniques refined and the artificial fibres became an essential component of the sport.
Artificial grass
has everything hockey players could
desire. The field offers every
opportunity for quick passes
and precise ball control.
Hockey players benefit from
comfortable shock absorption
and do not have to fear
injury during heavy sliding.
Approved quality for hockey artificial grass
Hockey fields
often take a beating. The strike of
hockey sticks and speed of the
players make the durability
of an artificial pitch
extremely important. For that reason
continual research is done into the
further improvement of the fibres.
Artificial grass,
which is suitable for top class
competitions, is awarded the FIH
Global Quality Approved standard. An
alternative to the water-based turf
that must be watered, is
semi-water-based turf, also
known as sand-dressed turf, which
can be used wet or dry.
Sand-filled hockey turf is
also available. The
depends on the
level of the game, the degree of use
and the budget available.
