I like Fordes but they can be very hit and miss,Torpey hurleys are probably the worst crap going.Recently started using a cul tec hurley its grand but every so often you have to rough up the bas to get any kind of grip on the sliothar

You'll find them all there. I've a hurl from Daly's in Limerick, who isn't on that site. Fairly pleased with it.

It's funny, our club back home used to source Daly's hurleys and nobody liked them. Unless they have improved in recent years.

I find O'Connors hurleys from Newtownshandrum are hard to beat. Big bas on them, I used to get a bigger distance out of my clearances, a lovely stick to hold too.

I had some of them a few years back, the narrow shaft on them always felt like they'd break with any sort of contact so I got rid.

Would agree with the comment on Larkin's hurls - they'd be hard to beat.

Any idea of where I could get a damien fitzhenry hurley? Had one around 2 years ago and thought it was one of the best I have used.

Depends on where you are. Used get mine from a lad outside midleton not sure if I can post names but as plenty of ye have mentioned others I ll give him a plug. Liam Walsh he is in a place called Lisgoold it between midleton and fermoy. Like most lads that make them he can modify them to how you want them. He always had a good collection of Hurleys for the inter county lads so that tells you a lot.

Had a few Liam Walsh before alright, a lovely stick. Decided to go for a shorter O'Connor this time, lovely stick big bas but a lot heavier then my last one!
