Clip Marks
Description:
Clip marks are typically a wave or chopping pattern on
the surface of mowed turf grass. This pattern is often
identified by the wave tips being two or less inches tip to
tip. The clip and the HOC, as a rule of thumb, should be
approximately the same, but can be varied to achieve
specific results.
