As hurling continues to grow in popularity, it’s important for young players to have the right tools to help them develop their skills. At Torpey, we’ve embraced innovation while staying true to our hurling roots by introducing the Torpey Bambú Hurley. Designed with kids in mind, our Bambú hurleys offer a range of benefits that can help kids excel in hurling while enjoying the game to the fullest. Here’s why the Bambú hurley is the perfect choice for your young hurler.
One of the standout features of our Bambú hurleys is the remarkable consistency from one hurley to the next. Unlike traditional ash hurleys, which can vary in weight, balance and feel due to the natural differences in wood, every Torpey Bambú hurley is engineered to be exactly the same. Whether your child is just starting out or aspiring to be the next intercounty star, they can trust that their hurley will deliver a consistent performance every time.
Our kids’ Bambú hurleys are designed to be lightweight, making them easier to handle for young players. When a hurley breaks or needs to be replaced, you can be confident that the next one will have the same weight and feel, helping your child maintain their form. This is particularly important when learning the correct “C Shape” swing, a heavier or inconsistent hurley might lead to a “U shaped” swing that can be slower and loopy.
We know that starting out in hurling can be challenging, especially when it comes to handling the vibrations from clashes on the pitch. That’s why our Bambú hurleys come equipped with a cushioned grip, designed to dampen vibrations and make the game more comfortable for young players. This added comfort can make a big difference for kids who are new to the sport, helping them to enjoy their time on the field.
Torpey Bambú hurleys are available in sizes ranging from 18” up to 30”, with 1-inch increments in between. This precise sizing allows you to find the perfect fit for your child, no matter their age or skill level. It’s a feature that sets Bambú hurleys apart from ash hurleys, where such a wide range of sizes can be harder to find. The right size hurley is essential for young players to learn proper techniques and develop their skills effectively.
The Bambú hurley isn’t just about consistency and comfort — it also delivers a great strike, helping kids improve their accuracy and control. The reliable performance of the Bambú hurley means that young players can focus on their game, knowing that their hurley will respond the same way every time. This consistency encourages kids to keep coming back to Bambú, helping to grow their love for the game and making hurling accessible to players from all backgrounds, including those outside of the traditional Irish cultural sphere.
At Torpey, we’re proud to offer Bambú hurleys that not only meet the high standards expected by seasoned players but also provide the perfect tools for the next generation of hurlers. With their consistency, lightweight design, cushioned grip, precise sizing and excellent strike, our Bambú hurleys are ideal for helping kids develop their skills and enjoy the game. Whether your child is just picking up their first hurley or looking to take their game to the next level, Torpey Bambú hurleys are the perfect choice to support their journey in hurling.
Choosing the right hurley size is crucial for maximising performance on the hurling field. The right hurley not only enhances your control and striking power but also contributes to your overall agility and speed in the game. Over the years, the ideal hurley size has evolved, reflecting the changing dynamics and demands of hurling. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of selecting the perfect hurley size for today’s fast-paced game.
The aim of the game is to hit the ball off the back wall until your opponent fails to return it, earning points each time you win a rally until you win the game.
