ᐅ Use Rainbird XF drip tubing for underground lawn irrigation

Good morning everyone.
I came across the Rainbird XF drip tubing.
Apparently, the system can also be used underground for lawns?!?

Has anyone here already used this as a replacement for conventional irrigation with pop-up sprinklers?

It seems quite clever to me to lay the pipes (every 40cm (15.7 inches)?) and then water the lawn from below at the root level.
I would appreciate any comments. My supply line is a 25mm (1 inch) PE pipe, connected to the house network via an outdoor faucet.

Regards,
Micha

Thank you for the information, this is quite helpful.
It’s not that simple after all; I thought that overall, it would be a pretty good solution to manage without nozzles.
