While the majority of pitches are made from polypropylene, polyethylene, or nylon, FIH does not dictate any particular type of material which should be used. In recent years, however, polyethylene is being used to a greater extent due to its excellent sliding factor (or lower slide resistance) and its increased softness properties compared to materials such as polypropylene or nylon.
