Flicx Skills Throwdown Pitch: Questions & Answers

What is it made of?

The Flicx Skills Throwdown pitch is made using small interlocking thermo-plastic tiles made from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). The LDPE material is specifically designed and chemically formulated for heavy duty performance and is ideally suited for cricket use.

Can I use a cricket ball on it?

The Skills Throwdown pitch can be used for both hardball and softball formats! You can also use bowling machine balls on the surface.

Can I make the pitch bigger if I want to?

The Skills Throw Down is modular in its production making it is easy to extend or replace part of your 2G Flicx Pitch in the future if you so choose.

Where can I use the pitch?

This pitch is lightweight and portable enough for both indoor and outdoor cricket use. All you need is a firm, flat base to roll the pitch out on and you are ready to start playing. The pitch can be used on other surfaces such as astroturf, concrete (although this will produce a higher bounce so a shockpad is required under the Flicx Pitch). 3G rubber crumb pitches but only if the rubber is less than 50% of the infill and wooden sprung floors.

Can I put the pitch down on grass in my garden?

Yes you can! The under surface must be firm with no high spots or divots, so the pitch sits flush to the under surface which will then give a consistent and realistic bounce to practice batting and bowling on with no damage to the lawn underneath. For more information please read the installation advice, but to prevent damage to the grass underneath it id important to make sure the grass is not higher than 15mm high and to flatten any high or low areas.

Can I use the pitch in the rain?

Flicx cricket mats can be used when damp, but they are not recommended for use when wet. Flicx 2G cricket mats are made from a second-generation polyethylene material that is designed to reduce surface slipperiness when wet.

How durable is the pitch?

The lifespan of Flicx Pitches when maintained in line with the guidance is well beyond 5 years, indeed many of the first pitches manufactured in 1997 are still going strong as they are exceptionally durable and the UV protections added means they perform in extreme conditions.

What is included in my order?

The Flicx Throwdown comes with a strap to secure it when rolled up, gloves, an installation guide and 6 Steps to Success all included.

How long will it take to arrive and what is the warranty?

Each 2G Flicx Pitch is hand made to order in the UK and lead times are typically 3-5 working days. Every 2G Flicx Pitch comes with a five-year warranty which covers any manufacturing defects.

What else do I need to know about it?

The pitch tiles provide cushioning support to prevent fatigue and reduce the risk of injuries, whilst also giving a consistent and reliable bounce for both bowlers and batsmen allowing you to play your shots in confidence and hit the pitch hard as bowler.

All tiles are UV-Protected with 5 years colourfast stabilisation and are able to withstand all weather extremes. The small textures tiles are also self-draining, allowing water to flow through to the ground underneath and encourage growth of grass beneath the pitch.

2G Flicx Pitch surfaces meet the Sports Council Draft 'Specification for Artificial Sports Surfaces' as well as also meeting British Standards for Critical Fall Heights and Fire Rating.
