• Accurate: Unlike conventional brushes, the Flicker-Brush runs on its own castor wheels, which keep the bristles just accurately skimming the top of the turf.
• Tough: This enables thicker, tougher, longer, bristles to be utilised without stressing the turf.  As the brush is pulled forward, the bristles flex backwards, then release and powerfully flick forwards shattering the worm casts without smearing them into the surface.
• Supremely effective:  Used just once or twice a week throughout the worm cast season the 5.3m Flicker-Brush effectively eliminates worm cast problems on golf course fairways and approaches.  A 2.2m version is also available which is ideal for sports pitches.

Since the ban on Carbendazim in 2017, greenkeepers and groundsmen have faced significant challenges in managing worm casts on sports turf. These casts not only spoil the presentation of playing surfaces, but also build up on mowers’ rollers and blunt their blades causing a poor quality of cut. GreenTek's innovative Flicker-Brush offers an effective, non-chemical solution to this persistent problem.

The Flicker-Brush is specifically designed to address the issues associated with worm casts. Its unique features make it the best brush for worm cast control:

• Versatility: Beyond worm cast control, the Flicker-Brush is ideal for dispersing dew and topdressing. When adjusted more aggressively, it excels at pulling out fiber and lifting the grass to overcome nap, enhancing the overall quality of the turf.
• Maintenance Benefits: By preventing mud build-up on mower rollers and reducing the need for frequent blade regrinding, the Flicker-Brush saves time and maintenance costs. Its efficient design ensures that equipment remains in optimal condition for longer periods.

Real-World Application: Wetherby Golf Club's Success

Wetherby Golf Club has experienced firsthand the benefits of the Flicker-Brush. Course Manager Darren Morris reported a significant improvement in sward density and cut quality after implementing the Flicker-Brush. By brushing before cutting, nap has been corrected, enabling mowing frequency to be reduced from 3 times to twice a week; a 33% saving in fuel, man hours, and machine wear.
