Hockey

Hockey is very reliant on its surface, giving a true and accurate ball roll along with comfort underfoot. Players find that a short pile tufted product that offers low sand content, or a needlepunch sports surface is the most suitable for this particular sport. The performance of the hockey pitch is reliant on the surface interacting with the hockey ball and as a result often relies on the performance of the actual product and not the infill, for its playing characteristics.

Playrite has a range of artificial sports turf that are suitable for hockey and can also be used for multi sport use, available in a choice of either tufted or needlepunch surface. To meet the International Hockey Federation standards for shock absorbency, our Matchpad shockpad is recommended.

Playrite surfaces are also suitable for Lacrosse.
