Bambú offers a greater strike and sweet spot compared to our ash collection. Scientific testing in Loughborough Sports University has shown the hurley to have a greater sweet spot for improved consistency. Players have experienced a sweeter strike with Bambú and claim it has a striking distance further than ash.
The Torpey Bambú shape is based off our Big Bás styled hurley. The Big Bás style offers players an oversized bás with the additional larger sweet spot exclusive to bambú. Further features include our unique Bambú logo, stylish black handle and the Torpey Clench grip for maximum comfort.
Future focused engineering technology has been implemented to manufacture a consistent Bambú hurley. Our engineering capabilities will ensure the same Bambú hurley is produced every single time. Weight and balance requirements can be guaranteed giving players the confidence to perform with their favourite hurley.
Made from 100% natural bamboo the hurley is highly sustainable and kinder to the planet than all other hurleys. The material has been sustainably sourced and it is the first Natural Fibre Composite (NFC) hurley ever created.

The new Torpey Bambú hurley exceeded my expectations! Feels like a traditional ash Hurley but noticed within my first session with it that my pucking-distance was increased and loved the balance of it. Quickly became my number one Hurley and have been using it ever since. A brilliant sustainable product that is leading the way in its field.
It is next to impossible to tell the difference between an Ash hurley and the new Bambú hurleys. If anything, my striking is smoother, my touch is the same and the balance is superior. It is easy for Torpey Hurleys to make the new Bambú hurley to your liking, the exact thickness, the exact weight you want and a second hurley the same as your number one hurley.
From a hurler’s perspective, it was a product that looked like a hurley, felt like a hurley and most importantly from my perspective it performed as good as an ash hurley. I used it this year in the all-Ireland 2020 championship and I continue to use it. I am really impressed.

2. Find the V position between your thumb and finger.
3. Find the neck position on the hurley.
4. The V position should sit as close as possible to the neck of the hurley.
