TURF MANAGEMENT
The ShockWave is specifically designed
to revitalise heavy wear areas by
relieving soil compaction and in turn
improve aeration and remove surface
water. When doing the linear aerator
causes very little disturbance, to the
point that play can continue virtually
straight away.
For Chris this is an important factor
when deciding when to deploy the
machine because it can used close to
fixture to provide maximum benefit
without any risk of causing injury to
players.
He said: “People can use the pitches on
the same day we’ve used the machine
and that’s a mas-sive benefit because
we don’t have to shut a pitch down for
a week. It allows us to make a solid
plan with the machine and work on
the pitches when we want to and if an
area needs to be worked on close to a
fixture then we know that’s fine.”
The ShockWave comes in five different
models with the depth ranging from
120mm-380mm. Of-ten it is best to
start at a shallower depth to relieve
compaction before setting the machine
to go deeper on a second run and
alleviate any remaining problem areas.
