I found this from 6 years ago: Despite Cúltec's success, the evolution of synthetic hurleys has been a slow and painful process. Building company Wavin's original stab at producing a synthetic hurley in the 1970s turned out to be an ill-fated venture. The much-maligned plastic camán seemed a revolutionary step, but it soon became apparent that its tendency to send bone-shuddering vibrations through the arm of its user coupled with its capability to severely injure an opponent meant that such progress had to be put on the back-burner. https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/cultec-is-on-the-ball-as-synthetic-hurley-strikes-the-right-balance-202392.html Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2448 - 13/05/2018 14:03:27 2099987 Link 0 |

The Cultec and Reynold hurls are big sellers in the USA as ash hurls tend to dry out and break in the warmer climate. Brian_Coyote (Antrim) - Posts: 346 - 13/05/2018 14:51:57 2099999 Link 0 |
