Domo® is launching the best product ever to meet the needs of the sports’ field of the future. More and more clubs are looking for fields that can be used for different top sports without having to compromise the playing properties of one sport in particular.

Domo® VarioSlide S PRO 65, a grass mat constructed with combination yarns using Heliflex technology infilled with sand and rubber is an outstanding field for three different sports: football, rugby and gaelic games, the traditional Irish sports. These Irish sports are namely Gaelic Football and Hurling.

This innovative artificial grass product has been tested in the independent “LABOSPORT” laboratory in England. The lab test results were compared with the various requirements laid down in standards for artificial grass imposed respectively by the FIFA 2 STAR (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) and the IRB (International Rugby Board).

Domo® VarioSlide S PRO 65, with a 23 mm shock-absorbing layer, brilliantly met the prerequisites for the three sports, even after 20,000 cycles of the LISPORT test. The playing properties for football are foot under the ball, ball roll and bounce, which all achieve excellent scores. The ability to absorb shocks and the grip needed on the pitch in Gaelic football and rugby are, of course, also guaranteed Thanks to the use of the monofilm and the heliflex technology, the rubber only protrudes minimally. VarioSlide S PRO scores exceptionally well at the "GAA Infill Splash Test". In short, this is simply the BEST artificial grass.
