Pink hurleys are popular at underage level with the girls. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 02/01/2017 18:09:45 1942664 Link

True hard to see a lad with a pink Cultec or a green or blue one but they are the business arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 02/01/2017 20:29:10 1942684 Link
The colour is optional. Cultec hurls are fantastic.... I think more lads should try them before making a judgement. footballingman (Westmeath) - Posts: 27 - 03/01/2017 12:13:32 1942768 Link

Bring back Wavin, the very breakable unbreakable hurley stick :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 03/01/2017 17:33:48 1942831 Link
Replying To realdub: "Bring back Wavin, the very breakable unbreakable hurley stick :D" Not to mention the vibration that went up your arm when you clashed .No give in the thing. Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1014 - 03/01/2017 19:13:08 1942858 Link

Nothing wrong with a splash of pink, lads :) MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 04/01/2017 09:54:00 1942970 Link
Replying To Dubh_linn: "Could just be you're lacking in imagination then !" No, nothing lacking in imagination, it's just black and amber clashes terribly with pink. Now the maroon of Galway would compliment the pink hurleys perfectly and also maybe the red of Cork. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2446 - 05/01/2017 19:47:46 1943329 Link

Personally I think the best county kit to co-ordinate them with would be Sligo. That'd actually look pretty cool. MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 06/01/2017 10:23:22 1943439 Link
As a youngster I made a hurley out of a piece of a 6 inch by 2 inch piece of timber, the thing was very heavy but I got used to it, by the time I bought my first proper hurley the weight of it was like holding a lollipop, 1 advantage of the self made hurley was nobody would come near you in a game, they were afraid of getting killed with the yolk riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 07/01/2017 17:03:08 1943775 Link
