A dense tightly knit synthetic carpet, with a fairly short height, about 10mm-20mm pile length, with a small amount of sand applied so that it fills the carpet to some 60%, or so, of the surface. These types of surfaces are primarily used for tennis and hockey. This type of surface may or may not also be watered, especially for hockey. Also known as a Dressed Surface and as a 2G surface.
