  • Greater usage time

    Amateurs as well as professional clubs often face the problem of natural grass pitches getting worn out due to intense use. Installing additional grass pitches means more land and maintenance cost due to which people are unable to install grass pitches. Most accepted estimates place natural-grass field’s yearly playable hours between 500 and 1,000, and synthetic grass fields at minimum 2,000 to 3,000 hours and more, depending upon the product used. For instance, the TigerTurf XP Pro yarn has an unlimited yarn durability warranty for the 1st 5 years regardless of footwear (followed by the standard warranty from years 5 to 10). Thus, installing synthetic grass is a very cost-effective approach owing to its utility, versatility and number of hours of play.

  • Why should you install synthetic grass?

    The benefits of synthetic grass are immense when it is compared to natural grass, especially in areas of high usage or unforgiving climate. In a country like India where the weather condition is diverse, synthetic grass is easy to maintain and has a high life span too. Due to its resistance to weather and durability when it comes to intense use, it is the best alternative to natural grass.

    Here are some of the many reasons why you should install synthetic grass.

    Longer life span

    Synthetic grass has a much longer life span, with uninterrupted usage, over natural grass. Natural grass pitches get worn out easily due to rough use while playing sports but synthetic grass survives for a longer period despite this wear and tear.

  • There is much to take in here, and the impact of any new requirements

    There are a number of other changes that we haven’t gone into here, such as maximum and “preferred” slopes, tightening up of allowable deviations around the mean for ball roll tests, restrictions on pad re-use for some categories and restrictions on colour for some categories. Please do not hesitate to call for how these changes may impact your facility.

    There is much to take in here, and the impact of any new requirements can sometimes take time to filter through to the market. However, it is certainly fair to say that the level of testing of products and facilities has been stepped up – and ultimately, this will help to bring the FIH in line with organisations like FIFA and World Rugby.

  • What do I need to know?

    1. Forward planning

    Durability is also important and so they undertake a series of simulated wear tests. They look at abrasion resistance, carpet strength, directional stability, turf bind and the strength of joins. All the yarns used in these turfs must also meet standards in fibre polymer characteristics, tensile strength, UV tests and toxicology requirements.
    2. Forward planning

    The number of product classes available for categorising a product has been increased to six. These range from ‘Global Elite’ to ‘Multi-sport’, giving you much more choice depending on the needs of your installation.

    3. Material matters

    The new requirements will also see the materials used to manufacture artificial grass hockey pitches more closely examined for properties such as yarn type, density, or dtex, and thickness. Fill materials are also being examined – thus ensuring that the information listed by manufacturers is consistent with what is being installed.
    4. Stricter testing

    The UV Radiation test, which is conducted on the yarn filaments, within the artificial grass has been increased from 3000 hrs to 5000 hrs. Additionally, a new test classifying skin friction has been added for ‘Global’ category products – with further tests measuring durability, player-surface interaction, shock pad and toxicology set to be introduced in due course.
    5. A new game format

    Finally, the relatively new format of Hockey 5s courts has been officially introduced into the classification, and can be offered up for certification.

  • What does it mean?

    The upshot of this revision is that products and installations put forward to be certified by the FIH are being more thoroughly examined. For the manufacturer, this will mean developing new hockey surfaces to meet the requirements, and developing new surfaces as further criteria are added. For the club, school or university investing, the handbook provides more scope to ensure your facility is certified to the appropriate FIH mark.

  • The new FIH testing guidelines for hockey pitches explained

    The new FIH testing guidelines for hockey pitches explained Recent updates to the FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf have seen a raft of changes brought in, improving the way hockey pitches and products are tested for certification. Here Eric O’Donnell from leading sports surface development experts, Sports Labs, discusses what this means for your new facility.

    Whilst the 2012 Handbook provided an edited and more detailed account of the testing methods used to evaluate hockey products and playing surfaces, the new FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf – released in April 2017 – incorporates a significant update to the requirements for both products and the field of play.

  • Apakah ada lapangan pickleball bergaya Pikachu?

    Pickleball telah menjadi salah satu olahraga yang paling cepat berkembang, menarik minat berbagai usia dan kemampuan. Apakah Anda seorang penduduk komunitas yang ingin menambah fasilitas baru atau seorang pemilik rumah yang mencari arena bermain pribadi, kualitas lapangan sangatlah penting—dan kami di Shuangzhu siap membantu.

    Mengapa Pickleball Begitu Populer?

    1. Olahraga yang dapat diakses oleh segala usia.

    Pemain yang lebih muda tertarik pada ritme permainan yang cepat (yang menggabungkan unsur tenis, bulu tangkis, dan tenis meja), sementara pemain yang lebih tua menghargai desain permainan yang berdampak rendah (lapangan yang lebih kecil = lebih sedikit berlari, kecepatan bola yang lebih lambat).

    Jumlah pemain di Amerika Serikat telah meningkat dari sekitar 482.000 (2021) menjadi lebih dari 48,3 juta (2023), membuktikan daya tarik pickleball yang melintasi generasi.
