Dew Switch Complete for Fine Turf Maintenance

This dew switch clears dew, debris and worm casts from the playing surface and helps to manage surface water, giving turf the best possible presentation. Lightweight, hard-wearing and multi-purpose, it is a tool used by greenkeepers and turf managers around the world who want top-quality results.

Why Removing Dew Matters

1. Turf health: too much moisture encourages fungi and other diseases, so taking the dew off helps keep the turf healthier
2. Better playability: dew leaves the surface slippery and spoils the golfer's experience, whereas a dew-free green plays better
3. Disease control: the damp conditions created by dew favour fungi and algae, and removing it greatly lowers the risk of disease outbreaks
4. Saving water: removing dew effectively can cut the need for extra irrigation, supporting sustainable water management

Key Features

• Lightweight design: the handle is made entirely of aluminium, so the switch is easy to manoeuvre and less tiring over long sessions
• Ergonomic grips: rubber hand grips give a comfortable, secure hold for more effective and efficient dew removal
• Durable fibreglass tip: the long fibreglass tip is reinforced with a new adhesive-applied black plastic sleeve that protects the most vulnerable part of the tool and extends its life
