GAMEREADY Hybrid

GAMEREADY Hybrid is the fast, cost-effective alternative to hybrid carpet, designed as an immediate replacement solution for struggling pitches, meeting the most demanding stadium schedules. Featured at the 2025 Club World Cup.

A NEW OR REPLACED PITCH IN AS LITTLE AS 2 DAYS

GAMEREADY Hybrid is a range of stitched turf systems delivering a fast and cost-effective alternative to traditional hybrid carpets. Designed for stadiums operating under tight schedules, it provides reinforced, match-ready surfaces in just days, while avoiding the excessive firmness often associated with carpet-based systems, creating a safer playing environment for athletes.

The range includes Pre-Stitched Turf, where natural grass is grown and stitched at the turf farm before delivery, and Rapid-Stitch Turf, where natural turf is installed and stitched simultaneously on site to achieve deeper hybrid reinforcement.

GAMEREADY OPTIONS

The GAMEREADY Hybrid range offers two solutions: Pre-Stitched Turf and Rapid-Stitch Turf.

PRE-STITCHED TURF

Premium natural turf grown and pre-stitched at a turf farm, delivered and installed in just two days as a fully reinforced, match-ready hybrid surface. As the first option in our GAMEREADY Hybrid range, it offers the strength of SIS Grass fibres without the slow, costly processes of traditional hybrid carpet systems - a fast and efficient solution for high-performance stadiums.

RAPID-STITCH TURF

When timelines allow a few additional days, Rapid-Stitch Turf delivers the ideal balance of fast installation and deeper hybrid reinforcement, creating a stronger, more durable natural playing surface without compromising quality. Premium natural turf is installed and stitched simultaneously, powered by SIS Grass Hybrid, the world’s fastest hybrid stitching technology.

FASTEST, MOST FLEXIBLE MACHINES

Our new X-Gen machines are the fastest, lightest and most flexible on the market, and are what make GAMEREADY technology possible.

Speed: Our hybrid grass machines have reduced full-pitch installation times by up to 78%.

Lightweight design: At just 3.5 tonnes, these machines are over 70% lighter than competing models, significantly reducing stress and compaction on the turf.

Flexibility: With stitching depths ranging from 45mm to 180mm and variable stitching spacings, these machines enable shallow-stitch compatibility and have made the development of the GAMEREADY Hybrid range possible.
