The benefits

THE BENEFITS OF SHOCKWAVE.

The revolutionary ShockWave Onyx and Platinum tiles are 15mm slimmer than their predecessor, measuring 40mm compared to the original tile which was 55mm, whilst still maintaining unrivaled critical fall height results of up to 2.51m.

In 50 years of synthetic turf pitches there have been many inventions. Some have lasted, some have faded away, but always the goal is to improve on what has gone before.

ShockWave EcoBase is a revolutionary new combined base and shockpad combination for 3rd Generation (3G) synthetic turf pitches created following a comprehensive two year research and development period, by leading synthetic sport & play experts, Notts Sport.

Incorporting patented technology, and using state of the art supply chain processes, ShockWave EcoBase delivers elite standard 3rd Generation (3G) pitches, meeting, and often exceeding, all recognised performance standards for football, rugby (union & league) and Gaelic Football.
