Indoor Hurls

FieldandStream

Over the past few years our club has bought indoor sticks from a couple of different suppliers. A number of our players find the sticks heavy and the rubber bas makes lifting the ball more difficult. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a cover for the bas of the ash stick making it suitable for indoor yet retaining the weight and feel of their everyday hurl.

I don't know anything about indoor hurling but if you put rubber on an ash hurl, would it not defeat the purpose of having the rubber bas to begin with?

I'm not sure if I'm mis-understanding the original post, but indoor hurling is really a 'filler' for outdoor hurling for when the weather is bad or for the Winter.

I'm not sure why the weight of the hurley would be an issue. The hurley, the ball and the surface are all different to outdoor hurling, so obviously the player is going to experience diffferences.

For me, it's really about keeping the eye in and keeping sharp until the outdoor season returns. I really wouldn't be worried about the weight of the hurley or the fact that they can't pick the ball up indoors.

Indoor Hurleys are only meant for ground hurling.

There are smaller indoor hurls you can get for working with beanbags and bean balls for improving Hurley control, catching, flicking, fundamental movement
