Troubleshooting
Ball feels slippery during first use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Murphys Smart Touch Hurling Sliotar, keep it stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. While the ball is weather-resistant, wiping it down with a dry cloth after matches helps maintain the surface texture. It is fully compatible with all standard wooden and composite hurling sticks. No specific setup is required; the ball is ready for immediate use upon arrival. Periodically inspect the surface for deep gouges, although the material is designed to resist significant wear and tear from typical field surface impact.
