Hey everyone, as stated in the title, I'm looking to make my own Guild Ball pitch. I'm aware that there are a multitude of mats available for purchase (which seem great!), but I'm looking for something a bit more sturdy for when we play at home rather than on the go. What would you guys recommend? My first thought was to start with plywood, but I have no idea how good of an idea that would be.

I really like the idea of having it be a bit... I don't know, 3D? Use some model grass for that texture, or sand/snow/whatever strikes my fancy.

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with - I just ordered a mat with the Guild Ball lines added to it from Deep Cut, but you could do some cool things with making a more traditional (old school?) board
