Buying Hurleys Online

Why L’Ash Go Leor is changing the perception about buying your hurleys online, with master hurley maker Philip Doyle
Getting to meet the hurley maker has always been an integral part of buying a hurl. Until recently it has been the only way to get your hands on your next stick or have adjustments made to your current Hurley. Speaking to the Hurley maker was the only way to translate your needs. After all your Hurl is an extension of your arm and having a personal consultation could be likened to a trip to your physician. But can that level of detail be transferred when buying hurleys the online?
At L’Ash Go Leor our Master Hurley Makers are using their decades of knowledge and transferring it to the online marketplace. Admittedly it’s not easy. Years of experience reading and assessing players has yielded some common traits regarding their wants and needs when it comes to custom made hurls. Using these skills they have identified common factors that change with adult players over there lifetime. For example, a common trait with particularly skilled elite inter county players is that they tend to use a more weighted Hurl at a younger age. This begins to peak between the ages of 18 and 22 when their sticks are the heaviest. From around 23 years of age and onwards the weight of the hurl drops back to a more Mid / Light Balance. You could say that the weight is directly proportional to their age until about the age of 22 and then inversely proportional to their age thereafter! This is just one of the many similar traits we have identified over the past 30 years in the hurley making business.
