Abstract

Differences were detected in the ball bounce characteristics between the different synthetic surfaces and data reported for natural turf. The All-Seasons synthetic surface had a lower speed ratio and a higher angle ratio than the Traditional synthetic surface and produced a slower and higher bounce. When compared to data for natural turf, the All- Seasons surface had a slower speed whilst the Traditional surface generated comparable speed. Both synthetic pitches produced a higher bounce than reported values for turf. Variation in the ball bounce characteristics between different synthetic pitches and natural turf may have implications for skill development as well as safety.
