FAQs

Is this stick suitable for youth players?

The 33-inch size is generally recommended for players graduating from smaller sticks to a full-sized adult length, depending on the player's height.

How often should I oil my hurley?

It is best to oil the stick once a month, or more frequently if it is being used daily in dry or harsh conditions.

Can I leave the stick in my sports bag?

It is not recommended to leave a wooden hurley in a damp sports bag for extended periods, as this can lead to rot or warping.

What is the benefit of Irish Ash?

Irish Ash is preferred because it is both lightweight and incredibly resilient, allowing for the perfect 'flex' when striking the ball.

Is the Wexford design different from other models?

The Wexford design is known for its classic shape and balance, which is widely appreciated for its versatility in both defensive and attacking roles.

Troubleshooting

Surface splintering after hard contact

Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a thin layer of protective oil.

The stick feels overly dry or brittle

Apply a generous coat of boiled linseed oil and let it soak into the wood grain for 24 hours before wiping off the excess.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your ash stick, it is essential to treat the wood before its first use. Apply a light coat of boiled linseed oil to the entire surface to seal the grain and prevent the wood from drying out or absorbing too much moisture. Regularly wrapping the boss of the stick with a quality grip tape is highly recommended to protect against wear and improve hand traction. Store your stick in a dry, room-temperature environment; avoid leaving it in the trunk of a car or in damp areas, as fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
