The surface of international hockey. WET hockey turf is a dense, unfilled artificial hockey grass that is irrigated before play — the thin water layer delivers the fastest ball speed, the truest roll and the smoothest stick work in the game.
The water layer on dense unfilled fibres gives the fastest, most predictable ball behaviour of any hockey turf system.
Specified for top-level competition — the system used at international tournaments and Olympic hockey.
Water lubrication reduces friction burns and heat, while a shock pad cushions joints and falls.
Today's WET hockey grass uses significantly less water than older designs, with recycling options available.
No sand to brush or top up — keep the surface clean, watered and it plays perfectly for years.
