Modern artificial pitches have advanced a lot since the blaze style.
A good 4G pitch is very good (for the amateur / semi professional), don;t know if it makes a difference to professionals.
The black rubber pellets are on the pitch to provide more "give" when players are changing direction.
Incidentally
I would say that if they are to be used, there should be a more stringent basis of the quality utilised.Quote:
