Hockey - inconceivable without artificial grass
Artificial grass has greatly helped hockey to evolve as a sport. When synthetic grass entered the market in the 1970’s, the hockey game suddenly became much faster and its popularity increased. The rules of the game were altered, hockey tactics adapted and the properties of the artificial grass fibre became an essential part of the world of hockey.

Artificial grass boosts hockey players’ confidence
Artificial turf has everything a hockey player could wish for: it allows safe break-outs and close ball control. The hockey players can enjoy comfortable shock absorption and needn’t worry about injuries when doing a sliding tackle.

Approved Quality
Hockey pitches have to be tough. In a sport characterised by short strokes with hockey sticks and quick actions of the players, the durability of the artificial grass pitch is of the utmost importance. That’s why there is ongoing research into further improving artificial grass fibres. Synthetic grass surfaces, such as the water-based DD Sportilux, are suitable for hockey at the highest level and usually carry FIH global quality approval.
