Sportech
Sportech is a specialized textile fabric engineered for use as the outer covering of cricket tennis balls, playing a critical role in the overall performance and playability of the ball. Far beyond just aesthetics, this fabric is a high-tech component designed to withstand the rigors of fast-paced games and enhance the player’s control, accuracy, and consistency.
In cricket tennis balls, the fuzzy outer layer you see on the ball, crafted from high-quality wool-based Sportech fabric, serves multiple performance-enhancing functions. It moderates the ball’s speed by increasing air resistance, improves control by reducing the rebound angle after racket impact, and ensures a reliable bounce height suited to professional play. The felt not only fine-tunes ball aerodynamics but also contributes to the overall grip and tactile feedback essential for precision shots.
For cricket, especially in training or indoor variants, Sportech cloth provides a consistent surface texture, helping maintain the seam position and offering better grip for bowlers and fielders.
At Kochartex, we blend science and craftsmanship to produce premium Sportech cloth that meets the highest industry standards. Our in-house processes, such as matting, condensing, and pressing, are meticulously carried out by a team of skilled professionals to ensure fabric uniformity, strength, and performance. Our product range spans from 400 GSM to 800 GSM, with various colour options including the standard fluorescent yellow, as well as white, red, green, blue, pink, and orange, tailored to different sporting requirements and branding needs.
Whether on the tennis court or the cricket pitch, Sportech fabric is the invisible technology behind every bounce, spin, and shot.
