[QUOTE="Murgen, post: 300363, member: 917"] 4 teams were using DD GrassMaster as of 2008. Bears are awaiting studies on the frequency of injures before considering a switch to artificial. Guess it's just bad luck actually. Only 3% artificial fibers. I don't see it making that big a difference as far as injuries. Just bad luck. Ugh. Yes, a DD GrassMaster pitch is a normal natural grass field. [B]The surface is a 100% natural grass field. The amount of artificial grass fibers added is approximately 3%. [/B] The playing characteristics of a DD GrassMaster pitch [B]are exactly the same as the characteristics of a “normal” natural grass surface.[/B] Playing on a DD GrassMaster surface is therefore exactly the same as playing on a normal natural grass surface. The players will not even know that they are playing on one of the most advanced sports fields possible. [B]However they will be surprised about the excellent quality of the pitch in the winter period and after some playing seasons.[/B] A normal sand based field can last over 20 years, a DD GrassMaster pitch certainly lasts as long. The annual DD GrassMaster field use amounts to approximately 850-900 hours. In comparison, a normal natural grass field can handle only 300 hours per year. On some heavily used pitches in The [I][B]Netherlands, the DD GrassMaster surface is used for over 700 games per year. This equals about 1,300 hours of use in one year.[/B][/I] One hour of use is 25 adult players wearing spikes using the playing surface for one hour. [/QUOTE]
