Traditionally, indoor cricket matting can become wavy and worn very quickly. Many players and their coaches have also reported back to us that some products just aren’t a good enough substitute for the ‘real thing’; typical indoor mats create a different line and length for bowlers who struggle to control the added pace and bounce of the ball on harder floors. But a solution is needed, otherwise there is low to no bounce at all.
Enter the The 2G Flicx Pitch!
This high-performance pitch delivers a consistent surface that enables a true, consistent bounce with excellent pace and carry. The 2G tile used within its construction is soft yet full of grip, making it ideal for indoor training all year round and suitable for players of all ages and abilities.
This versatile product is a particularly cost-effective solution for multi-purpose sports centres. Coaches and supervisors can use the same pitch outdoors during the summer to create additional cricket wickets, upgrade their cricket nets, or take the pressure off the main square by rolling the Flicx mat over the top.
These roll down cricket mats can be laid by one person in a matter of minutes; there’s no specialist training required. Each 2G Flicx Pitch comes with a free transport trolley for fuss-free portability and storage. And because the products can be stored upright on their end, each roll will take up less than 50cm squared in your storeroom.
The 2G Flicx Pitch works well on most synthetic sports hall floors, including the vinyl surfaces that are popular in schools and leisure centres.
Here, the bounce is generally higher and quite firm. The 2G Flicx Pitch will provide a more realistic surface to train on. If the bounce is too high, it can be reduced by rolling a shockpad underneath the 2G Flicx Pitch.
Many cricket academies or indoor centres install a synthetic carpet over their whole training area. Using a 2G Flicx Pitch over the top of these surfaces will give you great performance and the frequent application is to upgrade worn carpets or make a more identifiable pitch with crease and / or skills markings.
The bounce can be varied due to the many methods of construction of wooden sprung floors, but generally the performance is suitable for both hard and soft ball cricket.
