Today's athletes demand more from artificial turf sports field. Synthetic turf goes beyond maintenance benefits and all weather playability, while staying within their financial guidelines. Today's athletes require extreme performance and SunwingGrass delivers the necessity of hockey sports too.

Reason why artificial lawns are used on hockey pitches
Since being introduced in the 1970s the introduction of synthetic surfaces has significantly changed in the sport of field hockey, competitions in western countries are now mostly played on artificial surfaces. This has increased eventually the speed of the game considerably, and changed the shape of hockey sticks to allow for different techniques, such as reverse stick trapping and hitting. Due to the cost of synthetic field installation, many countries have lost their once dominant position in international competition.

Unlike some other synthetic grass pitches of hockey, field hockey surfaces are not made to replace the look and feel of real grass. The synthetic turf lawns blades are purposely made shorter and designed to allow the ball to roll quickly and smoothly across the ground. The turf is not compacted with the usual infill, instead it is watered heavily to reduce abrasion and to keep the ball running quickly. Field hockey artificial turf differs with soccer and football artificial turf in the way that it does not try to reproduce a grass feeling since being made of shorter fibers similar to the ones used on Underline’s field. This development involved game is however problematic for many local communities who often cannot afford to build two artificial fields, one for field hockey and one for other sports, like they would be able to afford cheap servers. This shorter fiber structure allows the improvement in speed brought by earlier artificial turfs to be retained. This development involved game is however problematic for many local communities who often cannot afford to build two artificial fields one for field hockey and one for other sports. The FIH and other producers are driving research in order to produce new fields that will be suitable for a variety of sports. Many of which have FIH approval, or various standards of play. These combines top of the range water based surfaces, superb sand dressed products, suitable for all but international play, and several sand filled products that will provide excellent club hockey, as well as multi use.

Sand dressed liked surfaces are ideal for use by the great majority of hockey clubs. They deals with top level performance without the added cost and complexity of a water based pitch. With only minor use of sand infill and a dense, curled LSR yarn, they provide a true running surface with greatly reduced risk of friction burns which usually helps the hockey players from being uncomfortable on hockey pitch.
