PITCH & LINE MARKERS
Hartpury University and Hartpury College complex
cut and roll one pitch , put the TLM Pro on to mark and then cut and roll the adjacent pitch while it ’ s doing its job ,” he says .
“ We also can now plot our own pitches ,” Matthew explains . “ Over the close season I had to convert a rugby pitch to football , which previously would have meant taking out the posts to
re-measure . Now , using the supplied tablet and downloaded App . I just store the rugby pitch template and replace with a football pitch version . That means what would have taken me a day , now takes just 10 minutes !”
As regards the line-marking paint , Matthew always uses Rigby Taylor ’ s Impact paint with the TLM Pro . “ I find we now use much less paint than we did with a standard line-marking system ,” he explains . “ I just shake the container , put it in the machine and off it goes . The lines stay on for much longer than other paints that can dull down after a couple of days of rain . Impact paint hasn ’ t done that - even in the winter months .”
