Product Information

Full details

The Murphy's Intro Gripped Ash Hurling Stick is designed for newcomers to the sport of hurling, offering a reliable and comfortable introduction to the game. Its key benefit is the pre-applied, high-quality grip, ensuring immediate playability and comfort for developing players. A potential consideration is its C-D wood grade, which is suitable for beginners but may not offer the performance characteristics desired by advanced players. This stick features an ash construction, Murphy branding, and a medium to large taped bas, ideal for learning fundamental skills.

FAQs

Is this stick suitable for experienced players?

The Murphy's Intro Gripped Ash Hurling Stick is primarily designed for beginners and those new to the sport. While durable, its C-D grade wood and general design are optimized for learning rather than high-level competitive play.

What size hurling stick do I need?

The ideal size depends on your height. Generally, the stick should reach from the ground to your hip or slightly above. This model is available in various sizes, so consult a sizing guide or try different lengths if possible.

How do I clean the hurling stick?

Wipe the stick with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the stick in water.

Can I replace the grip?

Yes, the grip can be replaced if it becomes worn. You can re-tape the handle with standard sports grip tape available at sporting goods stores.

What is the difference between wood grades (C-D vs. higher grades)?

Lower wood grades like C-D are generally more accessible and suitable for beginner sticks, offering good durability. Higher grades (e.g., A-B) typically offer lighter weight, increased strength, and better responsiveness preferred by advanced players.

How should I store my hurling stick?

Store your hurling stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaning it against a wall for extended periods to prevent warping. Storing it flat or in a stick bag is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels slippery

Ensure the grip is dry. If the issue persists, consider re-taping the handle with sports grip tape for enhanced tackiness.

Wood appears warped or cracked

This is uncommon with proper care but can occur with extreme environmental exposure. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or moisture. If significant damage occurs, replacement may be necessary.

Bas feels loose or damaged

The bas is an integral part of the wood. If it is damaged, the stick may need to be replaced. Ensure the stick is not used for purposes other than playing hurling.
