What is a hurling stick made from?

Answer 1

w.This will depend on the nature of the break. One option is to get a car windscreen adhesive and put it in the break, this is the normal glue you would find in breaks. Bands can be found on building sits or you can buy a roll on the net, but they are usually pricey A broken hurley can be held together with a metal strip. However this is not always advisable as the strip can become detached and be a danger in itself. Even with a strip, the hurley may still get further damage. It is better to replace a damaged hurley. Or you can get it repaired by someone who knows what their doing and will fill the crack with proper glue for hurley cracks and put bands across the boss to strengthen the crack. Most hurleys get stronger after being repaired properly and it is very rare that it would break in the same spot. But if a hurley is not repaired properly it will not be as good as it once was. And with a new hurley costing 25 euro and a repair only 5 euro. Clubs spend 100s of euro on hurleys every year.

Answer 2

you use a silicon glue to glue the old piece back on, if you dont have the old piece then you clamp the broken hurl onto the piece of another hurl and cut out a piece so that they both fit together. You then drill holes into both of the pieces and thread dowel rods into them, then put the glue on the inside edges and clamp the two pieces togetheronce the glue has dried you sand and band the stick, good as new.

They are made from the wood of the Ash tree. It is particularly pliable, which is good for playing hurling. It gives rise to the term "The clash of the ash" which refers to Hurling.
