The hardest-working traveller on our team?
The Field Marshal.
29/07/2026
What does having Field Marshal data mean for you as a groundsman?
It tells you how the pitch actually plays, not just how hard it is.
Is the surface too soft or too firm?
Is it giving energy back or tiring players out?
You get a clear, practical picture of performance, helping you spot issues, guide maintenance, and keep your pitch consistent all season.
